woolybanana Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Has anyone else had a problem with their Remoska blowing a curcuit fuse after it has been running for a while? Is it a boloks or a safety feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 No problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Nor here, though I haven't had mine very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Yes we have. The first one we thought was faulty and Lakeland changed it. Now the second one is acting up. Lakeland said this is because steam finds it's way into the handle and causing a short, but I tried it this morning from cold and as soon as I plugged it in the sockets blew.We have had all the wiring in the house replaced in the last two years and it is only the Remoska that trips the circuits.

Chancer Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 You say fuse Wooly, do you mean a fusible/disjoncteur, the interrupteur differentiel or the disjoncteur de branchement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 The one in the box for the specific circuit.The problem is well known with remoskas apparently and can be avoided by not turning the lid over when it is hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 We've had ours in France for quite a while, although not had it as long as Clair has had her's, and we've another in UK. All has been well with both, and I always turn the lid over when hot when I want to investigate, stir or whatever. I invert it over a pan, so I know it won't move.

mint Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 GG, why didn't I think of inverting the lid over a pan? Where are my brains?If I had a niggle about the remoska, it is that it's easy for the pan to slide off the work top and do someone (or the dog) an injury.

Clair Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 To have a bread-maker go kaput after some 15 years of regular use is some kind of record indeed, I agree! [:D]This afternoon, I used the Moulinex electric whisk I "borrowed" from my mother in the early 80s... It's around 40 years old and still works perfectly.Yesterday I tried to resurrect an old Braun juicer, after Mr Clair managed to find it in the boxes of "unpacked stuff from 2003". I did get a reasonable amount of our 2012 vendange juiced (lovely grape juice!), but it conked out after about a litre of fresh tomato juice... Replacement on its way as I type...

mint Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 You must NOT put people off it, Teapot.I've just used mine this morning for warming up the baguettes. Now if I had to put on my ridiculously large oven, I'd have eaten the things cold and wouldn't have enjoyed them nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 They are excellent indeed. Wouldn't be without mine.By the way, I think John Lewis do one, a bit more expensive but maybe better quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardengirl Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It does look similar to a Remoska, but for the 4L size the Remoska is £129.99, so the Tefal at JLP seems a good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzer Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Have to say I have had mine a few years,bought second hand off EBay. I am not known for my "gentleness" with cooking.electrical items,have inverted the lid etc,and to date have not had any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a soupière that holds 4 litres and it wouldn't be big for a cooking apparatus though for a soupière, it's rather on the large side[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 The remonska at Lakeland is only 4l too. I quite like Tefal, so would look at the tefal model, IF I was going to buy something else. I just need a new cooker........ eventually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The element is in the lid of a remoska and heat rises, wasting some energy/electricity. Slow cooker element in the bottom heat rises heating the food. They both use a similar amount of power and you can warm baguettes in a slow cooker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 And how do you get a baguette in a slow cooker? I have never seen a curly one, as yet.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
