Greggs fans are in for a treat as they now have the chance to prepare their beloved sausage rolls right at home. B&M is offering a fun kitchen gadget for just £20 that's considered a 'must-have' for any fan of baked delights.
The store's Heat and Eat Sausage Roll Maker is up for grabs in branches nationwide, and it's tipped to be an ideal Christmas gift for anyone starting their shopping ahead of time. Touted as 'easy to use,' the Sausage Roll Maker assures 'golden, crisp and flaky' pastry.
Featuring automatic temperature controls and non-stick surfaces for hassle-free cleaning, the appliance also includes a cool-touch handle. It accommodates various fillings, not limited to just sausage.
The appliance, a favourite among pastry enthusiasts, first appeared on store shelves last year. It quickly flew off the shelves due to its convenient design, resembling a sandwich press but specifically crafted for making sausage rolls.
The device showcases a rising trend where consumers are increasingly choosing DIY approaches to whip up their favourite snacks. This shift is partly driven by ongoing budget constraints and the challenges posed by the cost of living crisis, reports the Mirror.
In the widely-followed Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, one happy B&M customer shared her purchase success. Sarah Floss posted snapshots of the gadget at work and exclaimed: "After seeing on here and never having in, [I] got the sausage roll maker in B&M."
She shared how she used the gadget, adding: "Made sausage onion relish and smoked cheese, also tried cheese, onion and djon mustard, which was nice." Social media was quickly abuzz with people exchanging their opinions.
Maria couldn't contain her enthusiasm in the comments, writing: "This looks fatal for someone with my love of pastry goods." Meanwhile, Matt shared his experience: "I bought 2 last year, I make sausage rolls and apple pies with mine."
The culinary device also received accolades for its potential health benefits from Sasha, who remarked: "This is so great for people with coeliac disease can use a gluten free pastry and filling." Another user, Carl, commented on its online fame: "I saw them all over TikTok for a while as well, I'm tempted."
Jack quizzed: "Right be honest, from a scale of 1 to 10 how easy was it to make? 1 being I could have just bought one and 10 being was basically a toastie?" Sarah assured: "Easy as a toastie pastry on to edge put filling in folded pastry over cooked for 15 mins."
On a different note, William expressed his scepticism: "I'd probably still end up in Greggs before I made any homemade ones." For anyone who like Greggs sausage rolls, Iceland is selling a box of four for £3.
Iceland is also selling vegan versions of the rolls, as well as its famous steak bakes and chicken bakes. Shoppers can also pick up 16 mini Greggs sausage rolls for £3.
