[@brianavner4186]

The trick with the shapes is to slightly undercook them, makes the texture much better.

[@gdrad]

It's surprising as I recall shapes being the clear winner vs basic noodle at some point.

[@darkninjafirefox]

I usually cut the time by half

[@sorakirei]

Always have to waaaay undercook those shapes. If they are in the water too long, they completely fall apart when mixing the cheese.

[@ajs787]

@@gdrad I remembered the same thing growing up. The cheese powder would get stuck in the crevices and pack a serious flavor punch (for what it was), so you got a much more heterogeneous product compared to the classic mac.

[@Ace_Maus]

As someone who survived on the microwaveable ones through college, you have to let them sit (covered) after heating, for the cheese to be absorbed and become more gooey.

[@johnsk16]

I think more gooey isn't a good thing either lol

[@amberbydreamsart5467]

I always improved them by draining the water and putting a splash or milk and butter in there. the water only with the powder never gets rich enough

[@LexiDLuffy]

I echo your sentiment. It's such a little thing, but it adds so much to the video ❤

[@Guy_GuyGuy]

The cauliflower mac is indeed an unsung hero of the blue box line. I know it's not exactly *healthy* but it helps me feel a little bit better about downing a whole box of mac and cheese by myself while also tasting delicious.

[@keanus9871]

"Salt plastic" is my new favorite adjective. Always happy to watch your childhood memories get slowly crushed by bad tasting food

[@jgstrider]

As always, I live for these Let's Try episodes. The Animal Crossing music is like a warm comfy blanket. EDIT: The variations of the Deluxe mac and cheese change it up and are worth checking out. A couple that you missed include sharp cheddar flavor that adds a nice punch of cheesy flavor, and the homestyle flavor which comes with a breadcrumb seasoning packet to add.

[@DakotaofRaptors]

What was the song used at 1:20

[@ChaiElemental]

I get the microwavable ones and don't drain them, but I do undershoot the water a bit, or else I'll microwave it slightly longer than recommended to evaporate off more of the water. The default way to make them is, I agree, too watery.

[@thecodymavri]

i just watched a grown man eat kraft macaroni and cheese for 18 minutes and i do not regret any second of it

[@jaxpool155]

thank you for including the gluten free version! i loved the original stuff growing up, but i was diagnosed with celiac in my 20s so i can only have the gluten free version. so it makes me really happy to know that someone who has options actually enjoys it!

[@chronicallynerdy4074]

My dad actually prefers Jovial Brown Rice pasta and Betty Crocker Gluten-Free brownies now, and he was so against eating any substitutes in the beginning, since HE could still eat gluten. It's been so great only needing to cook one batch of pasta instead of two.

[@mike-sol]

I know these may not get the most views, but just wanted to say that my wife and I really enjoy watching these together while eating dinner. It's always quite fun to see what your tastes are and to go out and try some of the things you like to see if we agree or not. Thanks for making these!

[@rickpgriffin]

Even besides not having milk/butter to add, and the pitiful size, the other issue with the easy mac cups is that they're INCREDIBLY dependent on how much water is leftover in the cup when it's done. I've had cups from the same package and sometimes the difference between "yeah that was okay" and "that didn't taste like anything" was like a teaspoon of water

[@BigDamnVanguard]

Agreed on the OG and Spirals. Shame he missed Thick and Creamy and White Cheddar. They're my fave non-OG ones.

[@ddubsakadl]

Spirals are gas

[@beverleyeliane]

Yeah was expecting to see white cheddar

[@interndana5599]

[@TakeWalker]

me: "well, I know what I'm making for dinner tonight!" my brain: "I am also out of milk."

[@Roundbrow]

As someone who found out they had Celiac in my 20s, I was ecstatic to find out just how serviceable of a replacement the gluten free Kraft was. There's definitely a difference, but it scratches that itch I had been missing for so long.

[@Camphlobactor]

Prozd. I watch these. These are my favorite videos you make, to be honest. I actually take your ratings into consideration.

[@cellophanezebra4663]

I can't believe i stopped the video, went to the kitchen and cooked mac and cheese for 10 minutes came back and ate along with Sung

[@EricGranata]

I got this umami mushroom seasoning powder at Trader Joe’s. Sprinkled some of that in the last classic Mac and cheese I made. Was incredible. Can recommend.

[@saralily47ra]

Shapes absolutely taste different from the others! I have a theory it is intentional as many little little kiddos prefer bland flavor profiles and so bc its usually the smaller kiddos who want the shapes, they start them off with a milder tasting sauce compared to "big kid" mac which is not shaped and is the original varieties!

[@Amplufyed]

Considering this is my FAVORITE series on your channel, yes. We do watch these. Make more, in fact.

If there was anything to have as an alternative to OG KD it’s PC White cheddar.

the Sharp Cheddar KD is also an improvement on the original

[@raymondnichols4564]

Remember our medium cheddar is their “sharp”. We like our cheese stronger, our sharp will blow their minds.

[@wilderulz]

PC mac is so yummy, i need to have that soon

[@TheMaestroso]

Original stovetop with half-and-half, butter, and hot sauce cooked for only 4 minutes is S+ tier comfort food Edit: #1 rule with boxed pasta of any kind: the directions are just suggestions, do not follow them rigidly - especially the time to cook! Learning this has made boxed pasta 1000% more enjoyable for me

[@stars4809]

My preferred method of original is extra cheese, lots of black pepper, and subbing some of the butter with leftover bacon grease (if I fried any earlier for other purposes, it stores easily and makes a good softened butter substitute). A little creole seasoning can be fun too. And I like topping things with parsley personally. One night I also just made a full cheese sauce, crust, etc. for baked mac n cheese but also used Kraft as a base and it was fun. I suspect most people eating Kraft don't wanna go through the effort of making normal baked mac n cheese tho lol.

[@sonuckles1]

@@stars4809 It's the little things, really. The pepper goes a long way.

If you get the chance, you should try the "Thick and Creamy" version. The mac is much more rich since you have to add more milk and cheese powder. Kinda surprised it wasn't in this video, they're pretty common in grocery stores

Still love these "let's try" videos, first watches can get me interested in trying new flavors of things I enjoy, and then they're fun as something to put on in the background while I do something else.

[@imallfordabulls]

The key to the Easy Mac is to slightly under fill. This also helps my suspicion that shaped cheese is different than the regular cheese.

[@AquaAdventuresTTV]

Have we done a let’s try on toaster strudels? I haven’t had them since I was a child but I remember them having both sweet and savory flavors. Could be interesting

[@LinkDawnbringer]

I believe the savory ones are called Toaster Scrambles instead, and at least in my area they're notably expensive for what you get, which is disappointing because I remember enjoying them.

[@amberbydreamsart5467]

ohhh i havent done a toaster strudel in way too long, i gotta get a box of the chocolate ones now

[@DeAthWaGer]

Adulting means buying the cheese powder in a 5lb tub and using whatever pasta you want. For a gummier texture just add a spoon of baking soda to the pasta water. Hoosier Farms is my fave cheese powder. Also amazing on popcorn.

[@mickeyB6453]

The excitement in this video was palpable. It's very clear you very much love Kraft Mac and Cheese

[@angryaries5147]

i love watching these type of videos, it's so comforting!

[@tommyfrerking]

I'm a huge fan of the stovetop Deluxe ones because I prefer salty cheese over sweet cheese, but also it's so much easier! I even bought a device I use to squeeze out the sauce (think a larger version of a toothpaste roller). You should try the white cheddar and cracked black peppercorn. Easy Mac is always watery and gross. I've never liked any shaped versions. I feel like they make the pasta from different ingredients.

[@Ajz092]

What device are you talking about with getting the cheese sauce out of the pouch? I need it in my life.

[@tommyfrerking]

@@Ajz092 search for Big Squeeze tube squeezing tool. It's the one with the handle and mickey mouse ears crank. Unfortunately it's not big enough to fit the entire width of the sauce packet so I get a little out and then fold the packet to fit, but it helps get all the sauce out!

[@AKA-Latromi]

I make that white cheddar garlic and herb one whenever I have leftover rotisserie chicken. Shred some chicken up, make some broccoli (green beans, or frozen peas and carrots work too, whatever you prefer) and chop it up real fine. Then make the mac and mix it all up. The added ingredients help it feed more mouths (or help it last for some leftovers if you're solo) and add some flavors and nutrients to round it out as a meal on it it's own. Would really recommend for a quick meal!

[@LionBaller15]

Y'all got it good up there in Canada, is all I'm gonna say about that.

[@jasonguarnieri4127]

I don't know what's more surprising; the fact that these were all so different, or the fact that there are 15 different versions of Kraft Mac n cheese.

[@etzool]

While I never could stand Kraft, I appreciate your perspective, and this was fun. It was also pretty hilarious to see that that they directly tried to upstage Velveeta shells and cheese (the tastiest product ever to be made from petroleum, in my humble opinion) and failed hard.

Something I sometimes add to KD is a tiny bit of sour cream. It gives it a nice creamy taste, as long as you get a sour cream without too much added flavor.

I wonder if the shapes are purposefully blander because kids in America tend to not like strong flavors?

[@kaemincha]

i mean, kids in America ate plain mac n cheese for years and they were fine... Kraft mac is already known for being fairly bland (not saying that's bad, i love it). I think something about the texture of the noodles and possbily the ingredients of the shaped ones changes from the OG experience.

This was a major failure of exclusion. 2) your dentist called and told me to tell you to stop grinding your spoon on your teeth. 3) the shapes are WAY better. You just overcooked it. 😂 4) if you want shells get velveeta or Annie’s white cheddar. 5) I’m pretty sure you overcooked everything. There shouldn’t be that much steam coming off a pasta dish.
