I fucked up Mac and Cheese.

Silverstream · 06-30-2003, 12:44 PM

Today i specifically went out and bought some kraft mac and cheese in a box because i had a craving for it.

brought it home and read the instructions. it said to cook the pasta in a saucepan and the sauce seperately in another saucepan.

i said "fuck that" and looked for the microwave instructions. there were none.

so i decided to improvise and cook it in the microwave anyway.

BIG MISTAKE.

i added all the ingredients and cooked it for 10 mins on high and it came out looking like dried snot.
i tried eating it but the pasta was still hard.
so i added some more milk and cooked it some more.

it went all lumpy and was still hard.

i tried to eat it but gave up after a couple of spoons and threw it in the trash.

MORAL OF THE STORY: FOLLOW THE COOKING DIRECTIONS ON THE BOX OF MAC AND CHEESE.

You don't have to cook the pasta and sauce seperatly. I never do, anyway. And it always turns out nice.

Silverstream · 06-30-2003, 12:52 PM

HOW DO YOU DO IT THEN?

i need to know for next time.

crescentfresh · 06-30-2003, 12:52 PM

of course it will come out too thin. If you're going to microwave it, use easy mac, the sauce is made to be added in with the pasta.

Silverstream · 06-30-2003, 12:54 PM

oh goddamn.

im never using kraft again. im just sticking to my boring aussie microwaveable brand that i dont fuck up.

i was just trying to be exotic

Yeah, or you can soften the noodles with a bunch of water in the microwave and then strain it and add the sauce.

Silverstream · 06-30-2003, 12:58 PM

thats crazy!
every packet mac and cheese ive ever cooked has been:

dump all ingredients into microwave safe container.
add butter and milk/water
put in microwave.

i thought i could do the same with this one. i was wrong

yes. I thought this was how regular mac and cheese was, too. maybe I just haven't had it in a while.

When I read the first entry, I thought the person tried to add the cheese sauce packet, like in the velveeta shells and cheese kind, the creamy sauce. Now I could see how that would look like runny snot.

I use the same one for both. While I drain the pasta, I make the sause and then add the pasta. Mix well and serve.

Desi · 06-30-2003, 12:59 PM

that's awesome.

its more like a nice combination of lazy AND stupid.

Silverstream · 06-30-2003, 01:00 PM

i feel so backward now.

excuse me while i go play knifey-spooney.

sickbadthing · 06-30-2003, 01:03 PM

Damn. If you can't make mac and cheese you should just drink a jug of drain-o and end it all now.

Jesus Christ.

Silverstream · 06-30-2003, 01:05 PM

i was just trying to be a creative cook! and get out of having to use a saucepan!

I did have a bad experience with the velveeta stuff last week. I tried to add ham and broccoli. Now either would have been fine,. but the combination of the two was too much. The ham and the broccoli had both been frozen and gotten freezer burn and were dry. I added so much milk to get the sauce wet enough that it didn't even taste like cheese anymore. And the shit i added was still dry.

Yech.

DeviousJ · 06-30-2003, 01:57 PM

I know the world is going to be after me with torches and pitchforks, but mac and cheese sucks. The End.

once, sara and i had a bright idea to make PURPLE mac & cheese... well we didnt think and the purple food coloring mixed with the orange of the sauce and turned brown. we ate it anyways... our friends came over and were all disgusted.

yes. thats my story,

DeadOpera · 06-30-2003, 02:39 PM

How pathetic is that when you can't even make KD.
You must burn toast all the time too.

Desi · 06-30-2003, 02:42 PM

Is that peanut butter on the tip of your nose?

DeadOpera · 06-30-2003, 03:15 PM

what do you add to KD ?
i usually put black pepper and a bit of hot sauce.
some people use ketchup. What do you put on if nothing else?

STFU · 06-30-2003, 03:22 PM

Kraft Deluxe 4 cheese prepared correctly is the equivalence of an orgasm. I'll put in albacore solid tuna or ham or sausage and fuck the vagina I'm coming home.

Junebug · 06-30-2003, 04:34 PM

what the crap? two sausepans? no no no no no....

bring water to boil
add noodles and boil 7-10 minutes
drain water, add powdery sauce and milk and butter (like a stick of butter and 1/4 or 1/2 cup of milk)
stir
ENJOY

....i think that's it. yep. unless they have some sort of different powder cheese sauce where you live :erm

SuckSuckStyle · 06-30-2003, 04:40 PM

its called: "WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET HOME AND MAKE THEM COOK SOMETHING FOR YOU"

i ruined mac and cheese once, too. i've also ruined grilled cheese, quesadillas, frozen pizzas, chicken, and a lot more. my friend jokes that i'm such a bad cook, i burned water trying to make something once. i learned not to try any more and have other peopel do it for me.
