Forget the beloved pie maker, there’s a hot new appliance in the kitchen and it’s becoming a fast favourite of chefs, bakers and novices everywhere.
Did we mention it has ex MasterChef judge Matt Preston’s tick of approval, too?

The humble sausage roll has been an iconic staple of Aussie diets for years.
No longer do we have to defrost a pre-made roll from the freezer or wait for the kids’ footy game on the weekend, because now we can easily make our own at home.
The $29 kitchen appliance from Kmart has been popping up everywhere lately, even Matt Preston has been seen using it.
The MasterChef-turned-Plate Of Origin judge shared his sausage rolls on Instagram.
“So I lashed out on a sausage roll maker… I call it $29 well spent. And my quesadilla maker, pie-maker, and poffertjies machine are desperate for another gadget to hang out with in the inaccessible corner cupboard,” he wrote.
Then, Matt had a stroke of pastry genius.
With a little help from his daughter, Matt used the sausage roll maker to create apple pies.
Very McDonald’s-esque.
“I couldn’t be prouder… making apple pies in the sausage roll maker with puff was pretty good but when my daughter suggested using up the filo in the freezer with the last of the filling, we were on to a winner!” he wrote.
“Buttery, crispy and crunchy outside with apple filling that was hot but was done, well before the filling reached molten-lava, bubble-wrap roof-of-mouth hot.”
This kind of creative adaptation isn’t reserved for professional chefs; owners of the sausage roll maker everywhere have been getting creative with the appliance.
In a Facebook group dedicated to the machine – yes, you heard right – we’ve seen chocolate éclairs, jam donuts and pizza pockets too.
