Is this the ultimate kitchen gadget? How to use a samosa maker for muffins, quiches and more!

Are you looking for a way to make lunchtime preparation a breeze? Or, perhaps you're looking for a new kitchen gadget to add to your collection. Either way, the ALDI samosa maker is a must-have! Now, you may be thinking ‘But I don’t like samosas,’ bear with us because this gadget is more versatile than it seems.

We understand that there are so many gadgets out there specifically designed to make cooking certain dishes easier. And while, for some reason, we often ignore them because we think that they only have limited utility, some of these nifty appliances are actually very versatile.



Just take a look at ALDI's Samosa Maker which is now being hailed as a 'game-changer' for anyone who loves quick and easy snacks.

With the ability to prepare a range of snacks such as mini omelettes, pancakes, cakes, ham and cheese puffs, and spinach and feta puffs, this nifty appliance is a must-have for anyone who loves to entertain or simply wants to make life a little easier.

One Aussie mum recently made the rounds on social media after sharing that she managed to prepare a batch of muffin cakes using the appliance.

'Stoked with my samosa maker purchase,' she wrote in a post on the ALDI Mums Facebook group along with some photos of the triangular muffin cakes.

'I got it to make lunchbox snacks for the kids.'

What's even better is that the ALDI muffin mix makes 30-31 mini triangle cakes, meaning you can easily make a large batch of snacks with minimal effort. And at only a few minutes per batch, you'll be able to whip up a delicious snack in no time at all.



The post has captured the attention of more than 1,700 group members who praised the mum for her inventive tip.

One user wrote: 'This is the best ALDI life hack EVER.'

'I wish I hadn’t seen this post, now I need to buy a samosa maker,' another added.

A third chimed in: 'OMG I might just break my "no more appliances" rule.'



Other group members confirmed that the kitchen gadget can make a plethora of other quick snacks besides samosa.

One comment read: 'We do everything snacky in our samosa maker. Love it. I've yet to buy the bigger one though.'

Another added: 'I've done jelly cakes, ham and cheese quiches and apple turnovers so far.'

'Great idea! Made apple turnovers today,' one woman commented, sharing a photo of the snacks.

There's no denying that most of us have gotten caught up in the samosa maker craze when retailers, such as Kmart and ALDI, released affordable versions of the kitchen gadget. In fact, an article that we published previously proved that many of us here at the SDC wanted to nab one.

Some of us held off buying this as we don’t have space for ‘single-use appliances’.



But, with careful planning and research, we can turn any 'single-use' gadget into a versatile tool that can help us with many tasks.

So, there you have it, folks! Have you tried using a gadget for a different purpose? Share your experience with us in the comments below!

Handy appliance. Perhaps l could gift one for Christmas to you know who?
 
I'm tempted but I already have so many gadgets that I haven't used including the amazing Sumo Slicer
We sold our house and whilst packing up the kitchen stuff I had three boxes.....take with us..Vinnie's....rubbish....The amount of boxed stuff that went to Vinnie's was amazing but I really decided that I didn't need two and three different things that did the same job. In the next few weeks will be putting all that I kept into our new build and I suspect that I will cull even more.
 
Congratulations on you new home Thecla. Hope the move goes well & your culling too.
