A bit on the expensive side

+ PROS: All done, ready to go!!
- CONS: A bit on the expensive side

Merle

- 2023-10-20 12:16:33

I thought these were fun, and thought they were tasty. Not sure I'd pay for the extra effort in making them

+ PROS: Fun and unusual
- CONS: I could do this myself, but thank you for the idea :)

Lucy

- 2023-06-29 20:15:33

Didn’t enjoy this at all. It’s also not something I would buy.

Marc

- 2023-06-13 22:32:18

Terrible concept - a waste of labour and packaging. The actual bacon was average at best.

Lauren

- 2023-06-13 22:26:28

Thought they were a bit of an odd concept, but might appeal to younger audience possibly for a family BBQ type situation?

- CONS: Found hard to cook - had to keep turning often. Seemed to take a bit longer to cook than normal flat bacon would.

Erin Santoro

- 2023-06-13 20:19:38

I thought these were a great side add on for a bbq, convenient and easy without any prep.

+ PROS: Convenience and taste
- CONS: Hopefully are not too expensive

Strange product, didn't cook very well, unattractive to serve and looked like Turkey Twizzlers from the UK.

Sonya

- 2023-06-13 17:13:47

Tasty, but a bit odd that it doesn’t wrap around anything

+ PROS: Nice flavour

Neetha

- 2023-06-13 12:59:13

Feel it should have something more that it wraps around.

+ PROS: Looks great on a platter - just a different way of presenting bacon.

Nelmari MacKenzie

- 2023-06-13 12:31:52

Nice snack and for entertaining. Great taste and easy to cook.

JT

- 2023-06-13 11:17:56

It's bacon, I think the quality was okay but it's hard to cook properly (in the oven) so that it's uniformly crispy. The price is also way too expensive (labour involved in getting it on a stick?)

+ PROS: Kid liked it
- CONS: It's bacon on a stick...why? I can do this myself

Sibylle

- 2023-06-13 09:57:43

Don't get the idea

+ PROS: bacon
- CONS: Why on a stick?

Priscilla

- 2023-06-13 09:57:31

Very tasty bacon! Best on bbq as was not easy to cook all the way through in frypan and ended up taking off stick.

+ PROS: Flavor, amazing!
- CONS: Hard to get off the stick.

Richard Green

- 2023-06-13 09:31:07

Firstly this is imported bacon and not free range. Second it is just strip bacon wrapped around a stick. This made it harder to cook and I would hate to see how much they charge for the "value added" bit. Found the bacon to be wetter and chewier than what I usually use If it had something like capsicum, mushrooms, cream cheese etc it might make it worth the effort. Wouldnt buy it.

- CONS: Imported, not free-range. Just bacon on a stick. Likely expensive for what it is.

Stephen

- 2023-06-12 23:36:54

Great on a hot BBQ. Kids really enjoyed them.

- CONS: Bit gimmicky

Mandy Fitzgerald

- 2023-06-12 22:10:00

Novel. My toddler loved eating bacon this way, and I thought the bacon had a lot of flavour.

+ PROS: Tasty and novel.

Lyn B

- 2023-06-12 19:09:51

Probably not for everyday use but ideal for entertaining so would buy again

Kylie

- 2023-06-12 17:02:12

REALLY tasty bacon, loved it. Don't think I'd use for standard week-night dinners, but would be a GREAT option for the next social gathering (& a total winner for summer bbq's, when everyone usually brings sausages & you end up with way too many! These would be a hit for sure).

Annette Donnelly

- 2023-06-11 15:25:06

Ideal for entertaining.

Nicola Jeffery

- 2023-06-10 12:04:02

Nice not to think about what was for dinner.

+ PROS: Easy no mess prep
- CONS: Maybe I am used to streaky bacon but the bacon as chewy and lots of water came out while cooking, I think they would have been better on a super hot BBQ not a fry pan.

Fraser

- 2023-06-09 21:41:21

Tasty Bacon twisters

+ PROS: Good for on platters or as a snack
- CONS: I don’t really see the need or value in these

Michelle Williamson

- 2023-06-09 16:43:08

These were tasty, but a bit hard to get off the stick. They look good if entertaining.

Christine

- 2023-06-09 12:49:38

These were ok, idea seemed fun but in reality would stick to normal sliced bacon

+ PROS: They looked fun
- CONS: Didn't crisp up, found it ended up tasting more fatty, kids who I thought it would appeal to the most couldnt finish them

Tania

- 2023-06-09 09:12:39

Gimmicky. Looks like it will be fun but didn't crisp up.

- CONS: Really salty even for bacon

Michelle

- 2023-06-07 17:33:46

Handy pack size and great for entertaining

+ PROS: Nice presentation Easy to eat off the stick
- CONS: Took longer to cook than normal bacon. Some cooked more than others

Kimberley

- 2023-06-07 08:00:15

Didn't cook well - outside burnt and inside soggy. Nice idea for entertaining but unlikely to buy.

+ PROS: Easy to serve
- CONS: Didn't cook well.

Michelle

- 2023-06-06 19:21:31

What a waste of time. A bit of bacon wrapped around a stick. A pain to cook vs strips too. Definitely not worth it.

- CONS: Longer to cook

B

- 2023-06-06 15:38:25

Meh...

+ PROS: Its bacon
- CONS: What's the point of the sticks? Harder to cook in a pan. ALSO you literally get like 6 or 8 bacon strips on skewers....you could easily get a pack of sticks and a pkt of streaky BACON.. and you'll get waaaaay more for your buck.

Julia Thomson

- 2023-06-06 14:14:38

Don’t really see the point in these, especially for the price

Jolee

- 2023-06-06 13:35:47

Easy to cook, tasted good. Just don't know why I want bacon on a stick. I ended up taking the bacon off to eat anyway.

+ PROS: Easy to cook Tasty
- CONS: Purpose?

Lucy Mcalees

- 2023-06-06 12:27:38

Nice idea on sticks

+ PROS: Great for bbqs
- CONS: To salty like the concept of bacon on a stick but needs better bacon

Andrew

- 2023-06-06 10:52:42

So easy to cook under the grill - crispy and delicious.

Daisy

- 2023-06-06 08:55:40

its taking a bit longer to cook on BBQ to make it crispy, and it's bit salty to eat it as it is, would be great if it's with some other ingredient

+ PROS: its on a stick so make it easier to eat
- CONS: too salty as it is take longer to grill it

Alysse

- 2023-06-05 23:00:37

These were a waste of time. Too watery and really what's the point of bacon on a stick?

- CONS: Hard to cook well. Watery.

Fi

- 2023-06-05 20:55:44

I don’t see the point in this product

Ivana

- 2023-06-05 16:32:03

Great product for parties etc

Sue P

- 2023-06-05 16:09:52

Novel way to serve bacon and quite delicious

+ PROS: Taste
- CONS: None

David

- 2023-06-05 14:44:38

I really rated these. I cooked them in the air fryer and they cooked beautifully. I would more likely serve these as a unique presentation format to guests rather than for personal use

Jo S

- 2023-06-05 12:05:13

Tasty and really convenient, looks interesting with zero effort. My kids loved them and I can see them being great for entertaining.

+ PROS: Easy Tasty
- CONS: Not for people who find the skewer annoying

Rachael

- 2023-06-05 11:54:04

Innovative way of presenting the bacon . Made easier to cook without getting greasy hands and fun for the kids.

Maria Millar

- 2023-06-05 10:48:50

While the quality of the bacon was good, eating it off a stick was difficult and seemed pointless. We won't be buying these.

Lindsay

- 2023-06-04 21:19:17

Bacon is quite tasty. Better to dismantle the skewer.

Katrina

- 2023-06-04 17:48:46

Unusual but clever way to packaged but can’t see it taking off Good for a bbq and mostly aimed at blokes I believe

+ PROS: Easy to eat if you can’t have cutlery or plates
- CONS: Price Bit salty Hard to eat when getting down a bit on the stick

Rebecca

- 2023-06-04 17:15:22

My daughter absolutely loved these. A perfect easy to eat snack.

+ PROS: fun. easy to eat. Could go on an entertaining platter
- CONS: I imagine you'd pay premium to have it on stick. So I wouldn't buy when I can wrap bacon myself.

Christine

- 2023-06-03 15:41:08

Would only do for taking to a bbq, otherwise don't see the point unless it was actually holding something else onto the stick which it's not. Bit too salty.

Kevin Hussey

- 2023-05-30 20:04:37

A good, crisp bacon, but making them into twists seems a bit unnecessary.

+ PROS: Tasty, easy to cook, can cook a whole batch at once in a big pan
- CONS: Can't see why I'd want bacon twists when good bacon is great anyway.

Christine

- 2023-05-30 19:57:18

Good convenient addition to a meal

+ PROS: Great to cook in air fryer while cooking other meal
- CONS: None

Glen maiden

- 2023-05-29 09:58:16

Very good

+ PROS: Delicious

Kirsty

- 2023-05-28 20:02:01

I don’t understand what the point of this is, it didn’t cook evenly, and didn’t taste that good, and the pack was so small

Cath

- 2023-05-28 11:44:43

Interesting concept ...bacon on a stick! Only imagine these are useful for BBQ entertaining and the visual plating. Other than that I wouldnt bother probably to buy this.

+ PROS: Looks good on the stick. Easy to cook and bacon stays on the stick while you cook it.
- CONS: Didnt really like the taste of this bacon. Not sure what the flavour was but not to my taste at all. Maybe cos its not nz product?? Also cant eat it off the stick like you would other meat.

Carole

- 2023-05-27 12:36:09

Found these super easy to cook in the oven. I usually find some bacon quite salty but really enjoyed the taste. Needed for a stuffed omelette and held together nicely

+ PROS: Quick and easy to cook Great taste Packaging makes recycling easier with cardboard sleeve.

Julie

- 2023-05-26 22:30:54

Not practical. Wouldn’t buy.

- CONS: Some fell apart when cooking and quire salty.

Sue

- 2023-05-26 18:55:02

Just bacon on a stick - what's the point?

+ PROS: None
- CONS: Too salty. Very disappointed that the product was not locally sourced.

Sharon Mitchell

- 2023-05-26 15:51:27

Found these hard to cook with out them falling apart and equally hard to eat. Not something I would buy again.

Simone

- 2023-05-24 16:54:11

Expensive for what they are just fatty offcuts of bacon on a stick is what I got in the packet and when cooked they either fell apart or some were so tightly wound around the stick that once cooked you had to cut the meat off. I thought they were something special when I first saw them, I thought they were something else wrapped in bacon so was very disappointed with these. Would only buy them as a quicky and easy option to take somewhere for a BBQ

+ PROS: convenient for impromptu BBQ
- CONS: Expensive, Fatty, some fell apart on cooking as only off cut pieces not full strips. Some were too tightly wound and they had to be cut off the stick. What actual meat there was had a nice flavour but so much fat on the ones I had.

neil gravestock

- 2023-05-24 14:56:43

too much fuss. prefer normal bacon. hard to cook well. Bit of a gimmick.

+ PROS: Bacon tastes good
- CONS: stick, shape and too much packaging

Jordan H

- 2023-05-24 12:19:38

Not something I would have on its own but would be good for a party and/or event

Luke

- 2023-05-23 20:54:42

Salty bacon on a skewer. Too much stick not enough bacon. I don't like eating sticks.

+ PROS: Good quality
- CONS: Can't cook on bbq unless you want smoked stick bacon. Would prefer more bacon and less stick. An effort to chew off the stick. That damn stick! I don't like eating sticks.

Michelle

- 2023-05-23 18:38:32

Good bacon but not something I'd have on a skewer. It's too salty to eat on its own.

+ PROS: Convenient to cook
- CONS: Too salty to eat as a skewer

Alicia

- 2023-05-23 13:08:21

Good bacon but would be more cost effective to diy the wrapping onto a skewer, also makes them harder to cook

Sam West

- 2023-05-23 11:07:42

We had them as nibbles, great little extra to add to the plate. Easy to eat, if at a party.

+ PROS: Great party food

Sarah Hutchinson

- 2023-05-23 10:42:01

Tasty, crisped up well

+ PROS: Convenient Great to take to a bbq or party

Louis van de Venter

- 2023-05-23 10:37:36

Great snack at the BBQ! Kids love them

+ PROS: Always have this in the freezer for the kids to snack on at the BBQ. Will always love them.
- CONS: None

Hayley

- 2023-05-23 10:32:51

A novel product that had the kids excited, however they were difficult to eat

+ PROS: They tasted great Looked Fun
- CONS: Diffictult to cook Difficult to eat Expensive for what it was.

Kim Reid

- 2023-05-23 10:06:41

Great tasting bacon and definitely an interesting way to eat it. Easy to cook, I cooked in the oven on an oven tray as we like bacon crispy.

+ PROS: Easy snack when you fancy bacon without a whole meal
- CONS: Challenging to eat until we realised, unwrapping it was easier

Nicola

- 2023-05-23 09:53:04

A different way to eat bacon. Easy and convenient. Cooked in the oven and under the grill to finish off but would likely use the bbq when not experiencing torrential rain and I think they'd be better.

+ PROS: Easy to handle and convenient. Cooked easily.
- CONS: Eating was a little tricky as a rasher wrapped around a skewer didn't always come off well.

Cristel

- 2023-05-22 20:06:51

A fun way to eat bacon, something a bit different. Cooked them in the air fryer-super easy and cooked beautifully.

+ PROS: Delicious Fun and unique
- CONS: Difficult to eat.

Ann Ferguson

- 2023-05-21 15:45:46

Great for the whole family! Tasty.

+ PROS: Tasty and fun.
- CONS: Price point makes them not really an option and the family said they were quite salty.

Rae

- 2023-05-21 14:18:56

Really nice bacon, but wasn't overly impressed by the whole twister thing. It made it hard to eat the bacon with anything else. Maybe a fun way of doing the bacon if you were cooking a BBQ brunch for a crowd.

+ PROS: Tasty bacon. Easy to cook. Fun and different
- CONS: Not so easy to eat (other in one go)

Cassandra

- 2023-05-21 13:11:19

We we're really looking forward to trying these. But they really are a novelty vs a product I'd buy again. As they twisted they take longer to cook and it doesn't seem to go as far as you would think.

+ PROS: Cool new item. Everyone interested in eating.
- CONS: Difficult to cook in size and being wrapped.

Michaela

- 2023-05-21 12:07:36

Nice flavour although overly fatty, novelty presentation. Not sure what practical use they would be. Not awful, but not something I would consider purchasing.

+ PROS: Easy to cook. Good flavour.
- CONS: Fatty and not particularly practical.

Paula Brake

- 2023-05-21 10:45:59

Bacon skewers; certainly a novelty! Easy to cook, but bacon is. Ideal for the air fryer. Tasty and interesting option for serving.

+ PROS: Easy to transport and handle. Bacon was tasty. Novelty presentation. Would be easy in the air fryer.
- CONS: I’m not sure the bacon being on the skewer is an improvement. Skewers are thick and seem to serve no purpose other than being a novelty presentation. Likely an expensive option.

Yulia

- 2023-05-21 10:02:43

Nice bacon, easy to cook

+ PROS: Interesting new look
- CONS: A bit too fatty for my liking

Sarah E

- 2023-05-20 16:30:59

Great tasting bacon, very easy and convenient to cook. Kids loved them

+ PROS: Nice bacon super easy to cook convenient to take to bbq's etc
- CONS: probably not very cost effective
