Cheerios FAQs
Q: "Are Hellers Cheerios already cooked?"
Yes! Hellers Cheerios sausages are precooked, so you don’t need to fry or grill them. Just warm them gently in hot (not boiling) water until they’re steaming hot and ready to serve.
Q: "Can you eat Cheerios cold?"
Because Hellers Cheerios sausages are precooked, you can eat them cold straight from the pack, but they taste best warm with a good squeeze of tomato sauce.
Q: "How long do you cook Cheerios for?"
When cooking Cheerios, heat them gently for about 5–7 minutes until steaming hot. Avoid boiling to keep the skin intact and the sausages juicy.
Q: "Can I cook saveloys and frankfurters the same way as Cheerios sausages?"
Yes! Hellers saveloys and frankfurters are also precooked sausages. You can gently heat them in cold water on the stove just like Cheerios sausages — remember, don’t boil or the skins may split.
Q: "What’s the difference between Cheerios and saveloys?"
They’re very similar — both are small, red, precooked sausages, but Cheerios are typically shorter and perfect for kids’ parties or family snacks. Saveloys are longer and often served at fish and chip shops.
