Had a little experiment this morning with a Peter’s Jumbo Sausage Roll to find out, which was the best way to eat one. Ready to eat cold or warmed up in the microwave or oven. I rather knew really but I was going to give it the benefit of a scientific test.
First, I cut the sausage roll into three to make it fair.
The cold piece was ok, but was a bit stodgy, heavy but was firm.
I have talked about putting such products in the microwave before my least favourite piece of equipment you could have in your kitchen. I put the sausage roll (removed from the packaging) and with the instructions, I placed it in the microwave for 1m 30s and it came out red hot, I mean smoking hot so, I left it to stand for a minute or so, but it did not look appetizing its shape had gone and it looked sweaty. Once in the mouth it was soggy, somewhat oily and like the flavour had been sucked out of it. Not pleasant at all.
For the oven I also used the information provided and warmed the oven to Fan 170 and waited the prescribed 20 to 25 minutes before taking it out on 20minutes and left it stand for a minute. It was hot but not has hot is the microwave. The best result by far has I knew it would be the sausage roll was flakey firm and tasted by far the best and worth the extra time for perfection.
