Are Crimpits any good?

[Skepticgal]

Looking for a Christmas present for my DS 16, thought this might be fun. Has anyone tried it? I don't have an air frier so that might be a factor.

I was going to say they're not that great in the toaster but really nice in the air fryer, which is probably not the review you were hoping for!!

Which one? I have the large wrap and the sandwich thin one. My boys love breakfast crimpits at the weekend. I just cook the wrap ones in a frying pan with frylight and cook the thin ones in the toaster with a toastabag. They have a bogof offer at the mo.

We have one and really like it but I’m afraid we also use the air fryer!

I have a wrap one and a thins one, and I haven't really found either to work very well, in the toaster or the airfryer. Thumbs down from us.

Maybe we just don't have the knack?

I use the thins one in my toaster with no problem

I love mine, its the large wrap one.
I use an airfryer too!!!

I bought one for my son last year and he's used it once. It didn't fry very well in a frying pan and we don't have an air fryer.

It's just one more bit of plastic tat in a cupboard.

Perhaps get an airfryer too?

We bought one from dunelm for £24 in the summer. A 4litre one. They can be inexpensive.

Haven’t used ours in about a year! Novelty wore off quite quickly here.

Thank you all, mixed reviews there. I won't be getting an air fryer so think I may skip the crimpit too.

No. Bought a few following the Christmas thread on here are they were crap. No-one used them more than once

Learning. Dont be a sheep- dont buy loads of crap just because it is cheap!

I think the crimpit is good, I just think if you want to use any softer fillings it might be worth getting toaster bags too.

As others have said, you can also use the frying pan

I got the wrap one for DS for Christmas last year and after an initial flurry of excitement, it's now languishing in a cupboard. We found that it doesn't seal the wrap particularly well and it's just less faff just to put fillings in a wrap, fold in half and do in a dry frying pan as we always used to.

Can't you buy sandwich toasters any more? I used to have a great one, it was black and white like a cow.

We make toasties in a non-stick frying pan now. Same with quesadillas. It works really well but sadly not cute like that little breville.

I found the novelty wore off quickly

We used ours a couple of times but not worth the faff and didn't really seal properly.

Don't waste your money. They are crap.

You can still buy them. Cheese toasties, yummy

Maybe buy her a waffle maker?

We have a waffle maker and use it a lot. We do toasties in the frying pan too. Just thought the crimpit might be fun but going to give it a miss.

Buy your DS an air fryer and a crimpit. Just a cheap one in Aldi, mine cost £29 and the teen loves it

Can people please tell me how to cook in the air fryer? Times and temperature please

Don't know about crimpets but I love my morphy richards microwave toasted sandwich maker. Works so well and even better so easy to clean

Everyone on here was buying them last year.
