How to make a Chiko Roll Kmart Sausage Roll Maker Cheekyricho Cooking Youtube Video Recipe ep.1,411 

Haha Robert, an oldie but a goodie. I’d like to think mine are healthier without compromising on taste. Took a few experiments to achieve this result but I must say I think it’s a pretty good copy and so much easier and quicker in the SRM. Thanks for the great feedback and for watching.;-))

Thank you Keto Lisa, glad you like it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave such a lovely comment.;-))

Thank you Elise, it took a bit of testing and tweaking but I think we’ve got it pretty close with readily available ingredients. I bit healthier, definitely tastier, quicker and lower in fat and cheaper than the take away version. Thank you for your feedback and for watching.;-))

I’ve heard of Lumpia but somehow I had it in my head it was a fish. Off to check it out now, I learn so much from my viewers, thanks you for sharing your suggestion. We had a Philippine Supermarket nearby but it is now permanently closed , another casualty of the massive floods. I used to buy my Asian supplies there and the lady was very friendly and helpful. I’m really going to miss her and her little store. I guess I’ll just have to google it and check it out myself now. Thanks for watching.;-))

Thank you Tracy, they certainly were a big part of us growing up. I m glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching.;-))

Thank you for you feedback, not every kitchen has the power outlets ideally placed. I never leave power cords trailing forward of an appliance or allow the appliances to be situated forward on a counter top. When cooking around children or even with children they should be thoroughly supervised and important safety features instilled in them. There are plenty of dangers to be found in a kitchen and I suspect the shortness of the power cords on most budget appliances has more to do with cost cutting than children’s safety around very hot surfaces. The inconvenience of being unable to reach outlets with short cords , the necessity in some cases to use extension cords to extend the length of the cord for convenient use is more dangerous both for user and requiring excess cord to be stored away from the hot appliance, so it doesn’t melt and place unnecessary voltage strain on a cord which may not be rated for the job. I have been cooking around and with children for more than 50 years and have fortunately never had the experience you describe. I have obviously been lucky. So many kitchen related practices are just commonsense, never let a pot or pan handle extend forward beyond a benchtop. Never leave hot water in a tap for the next person to Burn themselves unexpectedly. Place hot foods to cool out of reach and never ever leave anything unattended without switching it off, in case you are inadvertently distracted. Never place sharp knives in a dishwasher or a sink full of soapy water, hang onto it, wash it and place it under the dish drainer to drain before wiping and storing in either a knife block or dedicated knife drawer. So many simple practices can be used to ensure greater safety in an around a kitchen. These are just a few things I routinely do to protect myself and my family. Good habits prevent potential future problems. I honestly believe that unnecessarily short cords are more dangerous than those of an adequate length but that is,of course, my own personal opinion, based purely on my experience and has nothing to do with any scientific basis or marketing strategy. I thank you very much for your thought provoking feedback and for watching.;-))

Thank you Jenn it tastes scrumptious too lol. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.;-))

Thank you very much Lost In Oz, Richo loves Chiko Rolls, I prefer my version as well, it’s not mushy and globby inside and I think it’s a much healthier option too. We are going very well thank you, I hope you and your family are safe and healthy also. Thanks for watching and your lovely feedback.;-))

Thank you very much Linda, it will be a bit more like a spring roll but it will work well. We made Baklava and Spanikopita and the FILO cooks well, browns and crisps well and doesn’t become soggy which is surprising given that it cooked inside a sealed closed sausage roll maker or pie maker. We love Adelaide, buying a caravan this week, can’t wait to take it back to Adelaide for a holiday in it. Got a few camp cooking videos coming up soon for our travelling viewers.;-) Thanks for the lovely feedback and for watching.;-))

Haha, another Aussie invention thanks for watching.;-))

Thanks for watching.;-))

Cheeko Rolls Lol, you crack me up. Yes it did involve a few more steps. I did try with a thin whole meal wrap but it sort of cracked and broke up a bit, the filling didn’t hold in as well. Just the spring roll pastry was too crispy and not thick enough, this got about as close to the right consistency of the experiments I tried. Your version sounds great, sweet, savoury and you can’t beat lean pork. I had the ingredients list but no measurements do it was a bit of a wing it dinner but it was very nice and I served it with Sweet Chilli Sauce but I would never have thought of Hommus, now I want to make another batch to give that a whirl lol. I’m glad you liked my idea, thanks for watching and the great feedback.;-))

You most certainly can and I have. Half the fun of these great little counter top appliances is find all the new ways to use them. They are fantastic for using up last nights left overs and don’t forget as the Late Margaret Fulton once said”it’s not left overs if you add another fresh ingredient!” Curries, stews, casseroles, baked dinners, fruit, puddings anything . Can you Sausage Roll it? My word you can! Have fun. Thanks for watching.;-))

Yes you certainly can Wayne and that would be a perfect spring roll, I was after the crisp texture with the chewy quality in the skin, after a bit of trial and error , I think this was about the closest, to the commercially produced variety, we could make, that could be easily replicated in the home kitchen. We do the testing so our viewers don’t have too. I was also after a healthier version of an Aussie Iconic Snack. Thanks for your feedback and for watching, your suggestion is a much easier and simpler version. Thank you for sharing and for watching.;-))

Thank you for your question Shirley, this is a Kmart brand a sausage roll maker. It is a 240 volt appliance which is what our electricity supply is here in Australia. I know you don’t have many if any Kmarts, where you live my my US viewers have found something called a corn dog maker on Amazon, there is also something called a pastry maker that might be similar to my model. I hope you can find one, they are so versatile and a great way to use up leftovers. I use mine for so many things, I didn’t think I would but my viewers requested I get one to share my ideas and it has been fantastic. I really appreciate you sharing where you live, I always find that information very interesting. Just prior to Covid we travelled to your beautiful state and absolutely loved it. The buildings were spectacular particularly the Capital Building, so much more beautiful in real life, I didn’t realise it was marble, photos look like painted concrete. We went to several of the museums, the Pentagon Arlington and out to Dulles Airfield. It was a rushed trip but I would return in a heartbeat, we absolutely adored the east coast and can’t wait to return to explore the southern east coast. Thanks for watching and the great feedback. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺’downunder’;-))

Ahh Lucy, I’m pretty sure it’s up there with Tim Tams and Vegemite. As an iconic Aussie fast food. Glad you like it thanks for watching.;-))

@@CheekysKitchen I have heard of Vegemite spread and I have eaten Tim Tam cookies some stores here have it . Many years ago I would eat 2 candies one was a chocolate cherry bar and the other was called Violet crumble , but I have not seen them here in many years . Best wishes for a good weekend my dear friend .

So you are familiar with some of our local foods, not many first timers like vegemite, probably because they make the mistake of slathering it on like peanut butter. It’s actually the thinnest scrape on hot buttered toast, we grew up eating it so we are used to it. I don’t think many Australians would have grown up without having eaten a Chiko Roll, I don’t know where the name came from because it doesn’t contain any chicken, it’s our equivalent to a Corn dog, I suppose, County Fair Food. I’m glad you got to learn something different about us and our lifestyle. Hope you are having a lovely weekend and you are still staying safe and healthy. Take good care of yourself my sweet Californian friend.

@@RetiredSchoolCook ahh, a Cherry Ripe? Excellent choice, dark chocolate filled with cherries and coconut.

@@Yvonne_ozlife Wish I had one now , so tasty and good . Best wishes to you Yvonne from Lucy .

I’m hoping you cooked the barley first though. Thanks for the great feedback. I’ve never cooked anything that long in a pie maker or sausage roll maker, brave move.... Good for you. Glad you enjoyed the recipe idea and thanks for watching.;-))

@@CheekysKitchen - absolulely did! I've done a few different combos now and 15 mins cooks the contents thoroughly x

That’s excellent, the sausage roll maker is a fabulous little appliance. You can expect to see quite a bit more from us using it. I’m glad your enjoying using it as much as I am.;-))

@@CheekysKitchen have you tried using other things other than pastry? I wonder if you could do a chilli con carne mix and use a tortilla?

Haha, here I am looking for the ingredients and formulating a way of producing a healthier version that you both make at home and make in a sausage roll maker. It takes a different set of hormones to remember the chick with the long legs and all the motorbikes, lol, I just googled it and can describe the taste, the texture, the colour of the wrapper and how they opened the packet with tongs before sliding the Chiko Roll into with a hefty shake of salt. I just don’t remember the Babe on the Bike. I probably wasn’t the targeted audience, the marketing people had in mind . Thanks for the fun comment and for watching.;-))

Haha Melanie and now you know, I have no idea what the measurements were but these tasted pretty good in my humble opinion I think they tasted better because they weren’t greasy, the crust was both chewy and crisp and the filling wasnt all puggy and starchy. Thanks for watching.;-))

You’re most welcome Michelle, you learn something everyday, I learnt this in a trivia question just recently. Who knows it’s a bit of useless information that might come in handy one day. Lol. Hope you are having a fabulous relaxing safe weekend. Thanks for watching and I hope your son whips up some Chiko rolls for you after Christmas😋👍😜

cheekyricho cooking hi cheeky yes hubby over for the weekend . He’s going to clean my oven out to day

Wow, when he’s finished with your oven, he can come and clean ours if he wants. It doesn’t need cleaning but I’d be fascinated to watch a man clean an oven lol. Enjoy your weekend guys!🥰

That actually would work, the filling is already cooked so except for a bit of steam expansion, all you need to do is cook the coating. Sausage roll maker did an excellent job of moulding and holding it altogether. Thanks for the advice and for watching.;-))

Yes, Sockbert, that’s sounds about right, just a few more inches of cable would make my life a bit easier. It barely reaches out from under an overhead cupboard so to keep it out of the shadows for filming is a bit of a mission. Obviously not a RU-vid creator lol. Thanks for the feedback and for watching.;-)) Hope you are having a fabulicious weekend!

@@CheekysKitchen a few inches always counts ;)

Haha too true. Lol Have a great weekend!;-)

Hi Amanda, the ingredients list are in the description box below the video and also shown as a list during the video. You can either screen shot it, save it, share to yourself or others copy it. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.;-))

@@CheekysKitchen thanks for that, I was watching it at work without sound, and didn't click on the description box

All good, you can find all my ingredients listed below my videos and superimposed during the video in most of the uploads. Hope that helps.;-))

Ahh Caitlin, a little bit of Australian History here. Another interesting Australian invention, the good old Chiko Roll, a local takeout shop institution. The sausage roll maker does a wonderful job of this recipe and would be perfect for your Hmong Egg Rolls as well. Without the need for a deep fryer it would be a healthier version as well. Cooked through with an all round crispy shell. Held in a perfect shape and well sealed would indeed make a handy to eat tasty treat. I must make a version for you to highlight another easy recipe in the sausage roll maker. Thank you very much for the suggestion. Maybe the Corn Dog maker available in the US would be a suitable alternative. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the subject and I’m sure our North American viewers would be keen to know as well. Thank you for your lovely feedback and for watching.;-))

You could try adapting it to a waffle/sandwich maker. It might be a bit different shape but the process is pretty similar I think???

You certainly could, I’d love to hear how much you enjoyed it. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching.;-))

@@CheekysKitchen You are welcome, I am going to give it a go at some point (after a dislocated jaw heals...old basketball injury playing up ouch)

Oh my goodness that’s sounds so painful. Do you have to eat food through a straw? Hey got lotsa soup recipes to keep your nutrition up until you can’t start munching into things again. No seriously though I hope you make a total speedy recovery and you are doing everything you can to keep safe and comfortable. Basketball 🏀, didn’t realise it was so dangerous. Take up knitting , more productive and much less dangerous. It’ll help you with your basketball regret too lol. Cheers from 🇦🇺 Australia

Fair enough, maybe we have something else to tempt you. This takeaway classic has been an Aussie favourite for many decades. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you have a great week.;-))

You’re absolutely correct Scotty, 4% beef plus an unknown quantity of animal fat. My beef portion did include an unknown quantity of animal fat. There was no sugar, hydrolysed vegetable protein, soy, emulsifiers or chemicals in my version. It’s not deep fried in oil either. I cook food for flavour not for profit. I’m a cook not a chemist. Anything I cook for my channel, has ingredients, which can be easily obtained by our viewers to replicate at home. This recipe used the Kmart sausage roll maker to show the versatility of the the appliance, sharing a bit of iconic Australian historical cuisine with the rest of the world and a much healthier version of that Aussie snack food. Feel free to add all the starches, fats, cereals and unnecessary fillers that are present in a commercially produced Chiko Roll , to get that greasy, stodgy, ‘spot the almost invisible meat’ mouth feel or you could try our healthier crisp yet chewy outer shell filled with all Australian beef, vegetables and barley sans the crap. My version is probably more expensive to produce but certainly cheaper than the local takeaway, to buy. I thank you very much for your accurate feedback, I’m sure our viewers will find it enlightening and helpful as well. We hope you stay safe and healthy and make 2021 your best year yet. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.;-))
