I do a lot of home baking and I do like to make things from scratch whenever possible, but I also live in the real world and sometimes it just makes a lot of sense to take advantage of some of the convenient products that cut down on the amount of time it takes to prepare a dish but also doesn't compromise on taste. This is the case with the Just Rol brand of ready made pastry which is simply pastry that is pre-made and so all I need to do is to roll it out to the thickness I want, cut it to the shape I want and stick it in the oven......simple, easy and no mess! The Just Rol Puff Pastry comes in a rectangular block and is foiled wrapped for freshness. The ...  Read the complete review

I really enjoy baking and creating meals from scratch. I regularly make my own sauces, but find the thought of making pastry a bit daunting. There are also only so many hours in a day, so to make life easier, I simply cheat! Jus-Rol Puff Pastry Block is so handy and does the job brilliantly. It can be bought frozen or chilled and if you choose the chilled, it can be popped in the freezer if you don't need it straight away. I prefer to thaw it overnight in the fridge, but it can also be thawed in two hours at room temperature. Once completely thawed, it is very easy to roll. You are advised to sprinkle out some flour first, to stop it sticking to ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to pastry I find the whole thing a little scary. I can just about whip a fairly average shortcrust pastry but that is about as far as I go. It's something I would like to think I will eventually master but for the time being I have discovered Jus Rol. It was over Christmas that I first bought the stuff, I had made a couple of batches of mince pis from scratch but they just get disappearing at a rather rapid rate. My eldest girl loved making them with my so I decided to by some pre prepared pastry just to speed the process up. The results were great and it opened my eyes to all the dishes I could make with this fantastic ...  Read the complete review

Jus Rol claims on the packet to be approved by the Vegetarian Society, but, according to my little 'Animal Free Shopper' book, it is also vegan. This makes it a very convienient item to slip into my trolley at a supermarket. Jus Rol puff pastry is very versatile being suitable for sweet and savoury foods. With this pastry, I can whip up a batch of sos rolls for a party, using a veggie 'sosage' mix in no time at all but I can also use it for sweet desserts like a puffed apple tart. This is because it has not been made sweet with the addition of too much sugar in the manufacture. I also use the Jus Rol puff pastry sheets if I am in a ...  Read the complete review

I do enjoy cooking, although I am absolutely useless at making pastry. Does not matter what ever i try my pastry always falls apart when rolling it, or simply breaks up when it is cooked. Jus Rol pastry is perfect for me i buy mine from Sainsburys supermarket, it comes in a single pack for less than 60pence or in a double pack for £1.20. I kep a few packets of this in my freezer it freezes well and thaws out beutifully so I always have some pastry ready to hand, you simply thaw it out and then roll it out on a lightly flowered board. This is puffed pastry so it puffs up in a 200 degree oven you simply cook until golden brown. I make meat pies ...  Read the complete review
