10 Tasty CRIMPiT Fillings

Sharing is caring!

I love a good kitchen gadget and now have a new favourite, our CRIMPiT and this post is dedicated to finding the best CRIMPiT fillings and recipes.

CRIMPiT wraps and thins have taken the food world by storm, offering a versatile and convenient way to enjoy your favourite fillings. These innovative alternative lunch and snack options have gained immense popularity, particularly among kids and teenagers, for their crispy texture and endless filling possibilities. Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, an after-school snack, or a creative way to use leftovers, CRIMPiT wraps are the perfect solution for busy families and food enthusiasts alike.

After seeing it pop up on my Instagram before Christmas, I decided to take a punt on one and see what all the fuss was about and I have not been disappointed. It has been used pretty much every day since we purchased it!

Exploring CRIMPiT Varieties

If you have not heard of CRIMPiT, it is a simple gadget that uses Warburton Thins (I haven’t found another brand that sells Thins yet!) and crimps them into a sealed pocket. You can fill it with whatever fillings you like and eat it hot or cold so it is the perfect all-around lunch/snack!

CRIMPiT offers two main product types to suit different preferences and meal ideas:

  • Wrap CRIMPiT: The original wrap-style product, perfect for creating substantial meals with various fillings.
  • Thins CRIMPiT: A thinner version ideal for making crispy crackers or thin bread alternatives, offering a lighter option for snacks or appetizers.

Both varieties provide a unique base for your culinary creations, allowing you to experiment with different textures and flavours.

For me, I heat mine up in the toaster however they cook through in the air fryer or the oven should you want to. As I have said though, you don’t need to heat them at all if you don’t want to. The kids take them to school for their lunch as an alternative to sandwiches some days. Now you have the gadget and you are probably wondering what CRIMPiT filling ideas you should start with, here are my favourites!

10 Tasty CRIMPiT Fillings

These CRIMPiT recipes are my own CRIMPiT recipe book, adapt them as you need for your own preference.

Hot CRIMPiT fillings –

  • Beans and cheese – Keep it simple with this one and just go straight for the beans and cheese. Be careful not to overfill your pocket though as you may have beans escaping!
  • Pizza pocket – I love these as you can adapt them to your choice, for me it is straightforward with just ham, cheese and tomato puree but you can adapt it to your taste.
  • Sweet chilli chicken, cheese, red onion and sweet chilli sauce – If you go for this, I would recommend heating the chicken first to make sure it is cooked all the way through. Then just add all the ingredients to the pocket and away you go.
  • BBQ Cheese – A healthy dollop of BBQ sauce and cheese is all you need, however, I do love red onion added to mine.

Cold CRIMPiT fillings –

  • Tuna mayo and salad – Mix a tin of tuna, some mayo, spring onion, small chunks of pepper and cucumber in a bowl and pack out your CRIMPiT—perfect filling for lunch on the go at work.
  • Corned beef and pickle – So simple but delicious!
  • Beef and horseradish sauce – Leftover roast on the go, this pocket will give you a little warm feeling as you combine the perfect match! If you don’t have leftover beef, I find it just as tasty as the sliced beef you can get in the supermarkets.
  • Ham salad – If you can make it into a sandwich, it will go in your CRIMPiT, pack your favourite salad choices into your thin with a healthy amount of ham.

Sweet CRIMPiT fillings –

  • S’Mores – This is the kids favourite choice, they go for a healthy amount of chocolate spread and a few marshmallows. Heated up in the toasted for a tasty sweet treat.
  • Banana and chocolate – Slices of banana with chocolate spread, like above popped into the thin and toasted for a sweet kick!

As you can see, there are lots of CRIMPiT recipes for you to try out and each one is just as tasty as the next!

Can you use bread in your CRIMPiT?

I have tried bread in the CRIMPiT and it does work but I prefer mine with the thins. They just didn’t feel as filling or taste as nice when toasted. If you want to use bread, make sure you put just a little bit of water around the seal point to help them hold.

When you use bread, make sure you use the bit leftover to make some breadcrumbs or croutons to save on wastage as there is quite a bit left from a slice.

How to Prepare Your CRIMPiT Wraps

Achieving the perfect crispy texture is key to enjoying CRIMPiT wraps. Here are several methods to prepare your wraps:

  • Air Fryer: For a quick and crispy result, use an air fryer. Set it to 180°C (350°F) for about 5-7 minutes, checking regularly to avoid over-crisping.
  • George Foreman Grill: This method provides even heating and nice grill marks. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Toaster: While convenient, be cautious as some fillings may leak. Best for simple, non-messy fillings. Use the lowest setting and watch carefully.
  • Oven: Preheat to 200°C (400°F) and bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.

Pro Tip: Regardless of the method, always let your CRIMPiT cool for a minute or two before eating to allow the fillings to set and avoid burns.

Think Outside the Wrap: Creative CRIMPiT Ideas

CRIMPiT wraps are more than just a vessel for sandwiches. Here are some innovative ways to incorporate them into your meals:

  • Leftover Makeover: Use CRIMPiT wraps to transform last night’s dinner into a crispy new meal. Try filling them with leftover stir-fry, curry, or roasted vegetables.
  • Breakfast Revolution: Create a breakfast CRIMPiT by filling it with scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon or smoked salmon.
  • Dessert Delight: Fill Thins CRIMPiT with Nutella and banana slices, or try a s’mores-inspired version with marshmallow and chocolate.
  • Party Appetizers: Cut filled and cooked CRIMPiT wraps into small sections to create bite-sized appetizers for gatherings.
  • Salad Topper: Crumble cooked Thins CRIMPiT over salads for a crunchy alternative to croutons.

The only limit is your imagination. Experiment with different combinations to discover your favourite CRIMPiT creations!

Nutrition and Dietary Information

Understanding the nutritional content of CRIMPiT wraps can help you make informed choices about incorporating them into your diet:

  • Base Nutritional Value: CRIMPiT wraps are generally low in calories, making them a lighter alternative to traditional bread or tortillas.
  • Protein Content: While the wraps themselves are not high in protein, they serve as an excellent base for protein-rich fillings like eggs, cheese, or lean meats.
  • Fiber: The wraps contain some fiber, which can be boosted by adding vegetable fillings.
  • Allergen Information: CRIMPiT wraps typically contain wheat and may be processed in facilities that handle nuts and dairy. Always check the packaging for the most up-to-date allergen information.

Dietary Considerations:

  • Vegetarian/Vegan: CRIMPiT wraps are suitable for vegetarians. Vegan options may be available, but always check the ingredients.
  • Gluten-Free: Standard CRIMPiT wraps contain gluten. Look for specially marked gluten-free alternatives if needed.
  • Low-Carb Diets: While not carb-free, CRIMPiT wraps can be part of a balanced low-carb diet when used in moderation and filled with low-carb ingredients.

Remember, the overall nutritional value of your CRIMPiT meal largely depends on your choice of fillings. Opt for a balance of lean proteins, vegetables, and moderate amounts of cheese or sauce for a well-rounded meal.

We have only had our CRIMPiT for a few weeks now and love it, but I can’t wait to see what other tasty filling suggestions we can come across. One I would love to try out is the steak and cheese option, using tinned stewing beef, you can recreate Gregg’s bake apparently. So I will give that one a try and report back on how I find it, keep an eye on our savoury section as I will add it in there!

If you have a CRIMPiT, I’d love to hear your favourite fillings as I know these are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to CRIMPiT recipes.
