Never used a Remoska, but you do need electric hook up for this and a halogen oven. I have to say, we love our Cadac . It's not the lightest bit of kit, but I can just smell the bacon, eggs, sausage and mushrooms sizzling away while drinking my first cup of tea of the day. You can cook a chicken on it (although I have never tried). It comes with a basic cookbook, but I understand you can buy a more comprehensive one. I want to get a pizza stone - apparently they do pizzas really well. Think I shall buy the John Lewis one though - it's a bit bigger than the one you can buy from cadac - and bigger too. Again, I have not tried it, but it does come with a grid to put a kettle on, or saucepans. Ours is a Carri Chef.

We got one last year aswell and as you say great piece of kit. Two downsides is you are using your own gas rather than paid for EHU I guess, and the skottel and griddles are a PITA to clean properly. Picking up a Paella pan this week that was price matched at Go Outdoors as have heard this is the most versatile optiion if you only want to take away part of the carri Chef set up (and easier to clean as proper non stick!)

If you find it difficult to clean why not by a non-stick cooking liner - doesn't have to be the cadac one. Easier to clean and when it gets past it's sell by date, replace it.

We have the halogen 12 lt model and very good too,we also use it in the home for chicken etc. Aldi have that model in just now for £29.99 which is a bargain and a three year warranty. we have had ours over 2 years and also bought from aldis.  Brian T

Our fitted oven is useless. It took about 45 mins to warm garlic bread enough to melt the butter, meanwhile the awning was sub tropical. I did a bit of research and had a look at what others had and decided to get a Remoska. Since then I've picked up a 12l Halogen for a tenner when TJ's closed down.

Pros and cons Remoska

Low power demand, quick to reach temperature, retains moisture, cooks anything that you would in an oven at about 180, easy to keep clean

Lid gets very hot and is awkward to hold, doesn't crisp things very well, expensive to buy, rack and shallow dish are expensive extras

Pros and cons Halogen
Range of temperatures, quick to heat up, easy to clean, crisps food well, cheap

Uneven cooking if too full, smaller capacity than you'd think, Noisy.

Of the two I definitely prefer the Remoska which is a relief as it was ten times dearer I've used it daily while the halogen has been used a handful of times.

I have a Remoska which was bought some years ago for home use and has been consistently used more days than it isn't. It is also brilliant in the caravan. JayEss's post above gives a very fair description of a Remoska. Last year, mine packed up but one phone call to Lakeland, the supplier , and a replacement was posted straight out to me no questions asked. So when you include back up like that maybe some of the extra cost is justified!

Never tried a halogen oven so can't comment.
