HOW WE CONDUCTED OUR TASTE TEST
It's free and fair!
We put out a call to readers to be part of the panel of tasters. Forty of them came together on a Saturday morning to taste rotis from leading supermarkets.
The chefs at HTA Culinary School in Randburg, Joburg, prepared the food as per the package instructions. The panel of tasters were presented with each of the products "naked" without any branding or packaging.
Auditor Jade Craig was on hand to monitor the objectivity of the blind-tasting process, from removing the packing to numbering the products, overseeing the preparation as per the package instructions and adding up the scores.THE RESULTS
FIRST PLACE: Woolworths 6 butter rotis
Price: R37.99
