Macaroni cheese.

[Surfhunny]

As anyone had the macaroni cheese yet? I'm struggling to make it edible. The first time I didn't use quite enough water (100mls) and it was solid and the pasta was crunchy. Today I used 120mls and it was like soup but pasta still crunchy I'm doing something wrong somewhere, and wasting packs in the meantime. My next pack I'll try 110mls and let it sit for a while before I microwave it.

Has anyone found a way to get it to be edible? I like the taste of it but not the carry on.

I let it soak in just about 11Omls before I microwave it. Otherwise, the macaroni bits come out too hard for my liking.

Thank you! I didnt fancy wasting anymore packs with trial and error.

I messed up my one and only pack by microwaving it too fiercely I think and it bubbled up and stuck to the bowl. If I had it again I'd do it on a much lower setting and then check it every 30 seconds or so and keep putting it back in until it got to the consistency I wanted.

I love it. I add a bit of extra water, and a tsp of bouillon and some chilli Seasoning. Follow the directions and then keep checking it and stirring it, I enjoy it on its own or over veg

I also leave my Macaroni Cheese soaking (for at least 30 minutes) before microwaving. It was a real revelation just how big the bits of pasta got the first time I did this - and it definitely tastes better without the little crunchy bits. I was a bit concered about the vitamins breaking down, but I take a multi-vit anyway and am willing to take the risk.

Thanks Jaxxs I'd never have thought to leave it that long but I'll give it a try. Mmmm I've missed pasta lol.

Had macaroni for the first time last night, came out perfect - but I cooked it on the hob as we don't have a microwave- maybe its something to do with microwave cooking?
