Remoska cooker

Im interested in the Remoska cooker - I realise is uses little electricity, but would it be ok for hab battery when staying in Aires?

Won't run of battery without an inverter, and if so would run your battery down in a couple of hours.

You would need an inverter capable of providing a constant 500w (standard Remoska is 400w). To see how much it will draw from your battery have a read of this..

The straight answer Barbara is no, it won't work on your battery for a reasonable length of time.

I love my Remoska to bits and have been a big fan for 9 years now. If I were starting again, and spent more time off hook up than on, I would however go for something like this:

There is also the bulkier Wonderbag which works on the same principle and has an advantage in that one is donated free to a South African family if you buy from them.

If you google "ALZA" you will buy one for half the price of Lakeland, they are the same. Theirs comes with a two pin plug, so a three pin adaptor is required.
A great product.

I've just bought another Remoska from the Alza shop. You do have a choice of colours, unlike the ones from Lakeland.

The plug can easily be cut off and, being 3 core, wired up to a standard UK plug which is neater than an adapter.

I do like the look of thermal cookers however,: heat the food up and that is all the external power you need.

No need to cut off the 2 pin plug. This 3 pin plug takes the 2 pin direct. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Euro-Pin-Converter-Plug-Adapter/dp/B000NJ30QO

thanks for your feedback "food for thought"
