Rice cooker mac & cheese

Think a rice cooker is just for making rice? Think again. This is no one trick pony. Tonight it's macaroni and cheese in the rice cooker. For a less creamy version use less cream/milk/sour cream.

[@fuzzycracklins1508]

"Let me add just a smidge more..." (puts in a big handful of cheese) LOL that's how I would make it too! Great video

[@hangezoe6725]

Jose Raul Miguens Cruz rude

[@dayzeafterz3844]

haha she did same with sour cream *just a smidge*

[@zenarobinson3851]

you do my kind of smidges!!🤣🤣🤣

[@carolchristoffel1075]

Love the fact that this cleans up quickly and easly and does good with most things. Great for singles who don't want a ton leftover.....However if you have a multifunctional rice cooker, you can cook the mac and then, switch over to bake function to obtain a dryer and crispy crust on the mac which I love. Since getting my rice cooker (mini) and multifunction rice cooker, I seldom use other pans. Much Easier to use rice cookers.

[@megumiyamashita9270]

great recipe for collage students.. ! Thank u ..: ) ^^

[@amaeluwah1279]

great for busy moms as well

[@christianhaack-hamilton8517]

Love how you’re not able to spell college

[@tonycapp23]

Just made this. Added a little chicken, and some bacon.. Turned out amazing.. WOW.. Great job on this recipe, and please keep uploading anything new you make in this little wonder of a rice/slow cooker.

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

Anthony Cappiello yum...that sounds good. Thanks!

[@Croxby1]

I don't have access to a stove, and haven't had things like mac and cheese, or spaghetti in years...now i can! Subscribed! Off to watch what else i can make haha

[@kristawalters7]

This looks great! hey if it runny use one tablespoon cornstarch mixed with one tablespoon cold water. Be sure to thoroughly mix the water with the starch to prevent lumps. After stirring the combined starch and water into the liquid to be thickened, cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. I cant wait to try it ! i got my rice cooker today!

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

Nice tip.

[@faliray4889]

I was very skeptical about this working, but I baked macaroni in my rice cooker and it worked. My sauce was olive oil and red chili pepper flakes. Spicy but good. Thank you for this video.

[@donnacey4875]

Thanks for the great recipes. Now I can make good use of my rice cooker. Peace out from New Zealand.

[@sewyoona8446]

i'm contented what I see. thank you for the tip. very useful for college student who rent a apartment.

[@inchman656]

what a delicious looking recipe! i saved this vid for later

[@CoreyViruz]

oh wow that looks delicious, I just got mine in yesterday. I'm going to try your recipe, looks like it's perfection.

[@TheDareston]

Thank you so much for the vid. Me and my dorm mates salute you.

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

+Ervin bien Beldua (Dareston15) You are welcome!

[@teresaames7902]

The sauce will thicken when it cools a bit. Some broccoli and chicken or tuna would be awesome. Even kielbasa would be yummy the sky’s the limit on that.

[@fermin3rd]

A+++ Tried in one of the Japanese Rice Cookers and had to add more broth, water, and milk but taste amazing!

[@babowbabowbabow4130]

I can dust off rice cooker and use for something other than rice. thanks

[@EatWthMeera]

Hi

[@leslieslass]

When I make this, I'll also put it in my air fryer after it's cooked to brown it . Plus putting sliced tomatoes into it, would make it yummy as well

[@raiusdaltar1483]

Sliced tomatoes in Mac and cheese is psychotic

[@marlisetp]

The mini rice cooker seems to do a lot of things. I can't wait for my Dash to get here. Thanks for the videos!

[@franklinloo2160]

With that full amount of cheese, I'm very sure my body will get VERY HEALTHY 😁😂🧀

[@zoorenard1101]

I will never cook mac and cheese on the stove top! Thank you so much for this recipe!!

[@tinktwiceman]

Amazing what can be made in a rice cooker.. I'm a college student and will be trying all these recipes haha. Thank youu!

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

tinktwiceman I'm so glad! I have some new recipes I'll be trying soon in the rice cooker.

[@STKST-db7kt]

Works great if you pay attention to instructions. kzbin.infoUgkxviiltW7NlHbp_VL_bLbIkbLAvILVhnia For those that complain about "mushy" or "wet" rice I suspect they are using the included cup to measure rice (which is really only 3/4 cup) and then putting in water using a separate measuring cup that is a full cup. This results in too much water and you will get mushy or wet rice and think it is not done. Just use the included cup for both rice and water, or your own measuring cup for rice and water according to your package directions. It will come out fine. I've used mine for years for brown and white rice. If your machine is bubbling white froth out of the steam vent then it means you should have rinsed your brand of rice first to remove some of the starch. Sheesh. Makes me wonder how people can cook well enough to feed themselves.

[@salaskusina]

Thanks for the video. Gonna cook now with my rice cooker!

[@joncampos5551]

Yes! Those bags with a built in ziplock NEVER work. Lol

[@EatWthMeera]

Darun helpful

[@tracietilly534]

Thank you 😊

[@klasspodcast4396]

this is my kind of cooking I'd add ground beef. I'm so hungry. lol

[@creepercraft100]

I'm going to add a little sour cream. *adds half the container* X,D

[@lastgameplay]

I just bought one of these.When you press down the cook button does it cook for a set amount of time, or is there a sensor internally ? The "Manual" that came with it doesn't say anything about how long it cooks. Thanks for the videos.

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

josh viking sits not a set time. As the liquid evaporates the button under the bowl raises and turn the machine off at a certain point. I always check my food during cooking the first time I make something new so that I know what time to stop it the next time.

[@janmicheals4118]

Could you add a note with the recipe included,please

[@lovesrilanka2010]

just made this..... AWESOME PLZ show some cakes also

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

VJ lanka I have a cake video posted. Enjoy!

[@eduardochavacano]

That looks so fine...

[@aspinlovertreatthemlikemyownba]

Love this mac cheese 😍😍😍

[@stuhiggins6065]

Looks delicious

[@kowz0r]

ima eat dis

[@caseyp5301]

Do you let the rice cooker finish its cycle or do you cook for a specific amount of time?

[@Chic1953]

Loved watching you make this! I just bought a rice cooker today and can’t wait to make my first dish. Could you add a can of tuna to that? Thanks for sharing!

[@cat8469]

what a great little gadget!!

[@michaelveasey8008]

ILOVEU , I GET DOUBLE THICKNESS SMOKED BACON (4 slices) COOK IT ON 4 PAPER TOWELS ( WHITE 3 ON BOTTOM, 1 TO FOLD OVER TOP, COOK BACON ON HI/5MIN MICROWAVE LET COOL CHOP AND ADD. REAL NICE. MIKE

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

Bacon in this would be so good! Thanks.

[@musicET]

Gonna try it. Thanks!

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

musicET hope it comes out delicious!

[@brittanyayala2013]

Looks good

[@realme72only]

Thank you. I think it got a lot of cheese but still tasty!

[@stewartmillen7708]

Can you use a rice cooker with a smart start setting? (i.e., add the ingredients in the morning, set a time for the meal to be ready, and when you get home it has just finished cooking?)

[@leslieslass]

Brilliant recipe & new subscriber

[@user-xv3lm1kx9l]

95 downvotes from vegetarians that don’t realize water and salt will work in place of chicken broth, probably

[@rahrah7749]

Im a college student and i think this is very helpful. And yes im so glad i came across this channel.

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

Rah Rah oh good! I'm so glad. Happy cooking!

[@dhainasim3013]

I don’t have shredded cheese what should I do? Already started and dunno what to do :(

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

Dhain Asim Slice thin and it will melt. Should be just fine.

[@lindacolgan6412]

Hello love your recipes for this mini rice cooker,can you please make a video for a chocolate cake recipe for this 1.5 cup mini cooker. Thank you so enjoy your videos so much.

[@divabarrie08]

What is the full recipe written out thanks

[@Chic1953]

Could you add a can of chicken or tuna to this? I hope you reply...I’m just learning how to use my rice cooker ❤️

[@jaxsonsmith8261]

I like adding crushed Cheetos to my mac n cheese

[@KGMH77]

I would add shrimp also

[@sriyanigoonetilleke5227]

Don't you have to strain the starch and wash the pasta or it gets too sticky. Will the starch add into the dish ???

[@jonaozo540]

When making mac n cheese, have you had much 'frothiness' on the inside of the lid? I haven't tried the sour cream, but will. I use half&half and chicken broth. I have also only used elbow pasta, but I have many others. Thank you again for your videos.

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

J Swain You are so welcome! Not a froth problem for me. A touch of sour cream or cream cheese just makes it creamy. Yum! For a little tang you can also add a small bit of mustard or mustard powder.

[@jonaozo540]

Third Street Kitchen I think I used too much liquid the time it frothed all over the inside of the lid. It took a bit of cleanup, but it still is easy since the lid liner is removable.It was still delicious.

[@jonaozo540]

J Swain I think mine cooks a bit hotter than yours. I copied your video above as exact as possible, still had some froth on the inner lid, and the noodles are pretty dry. Cooked fine, noodles are tender, but not liquid and not creamy like yours. I may try a 1/4 cup less noodles [?]. I do have a second cooker, so soon I will unbox it and compare the two.This one has made several pots of rice that was great, and this was my third attempt at mac n cheese.....elbow [twice] and rotini pasta. The froth on the inner lid is surely from the intense bubbling, and it sticks like glue.

[@jonaozo540]

J Swain I am going to use a little oil in the recipe to see if it combats the foam/froth......

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

J Swain I give you credit for trying so hard! Good luck!

[@allium2718]

You have canned broth in the US? Damn, we need that here as well.

[@xrpbold6264]

I didn't know Wolfgang puck produces cooking ware, anyway if u add some sausages would be good.

[@EstebonRocks]

My one and only question with stuff like this is is it safe for the rice cooker

[@sueg2658]

Looks delish! You have a great channel. Thank you! I see you use Raleys brand. I wonder if you are in the Sacramento, Ca area? I'm East of Sacto.

[@sarahabouhashem1431]

Sorry is creamer,m double cream or single?

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

+Sarah Abouhashem I use a light cream. Heavy cream was just too much for me. You can also use milk. Adjust to your own taste.

[@nabillamantika4681]

If I don't have sour cream, so what should I do to replace it ?

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

+Nabilla Mantika You can use milk, cream, any dairy.

[@kimha5862]

+Third Street Kitchen can i use sweetened yogurt instead, thks by the way ^^

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

+Kim Ha try it. Let us know. I'd try plain yogurt myself if I was to try it but I'd like to hear how it worked out.

[@tinklvsme]

Noooo use 1/2 nvr whipping cream. I bought his ull size 1 just for Mac n Hez. Mine like this died. I used it all the time.

[@gerry3x]

Thaw out some frozen crawfish tails and mix em in at the end

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

I bet that would be good.

[@dayzeafterz3844]

ty for your vid!

[@cliffcarlo180]

I tried this recipe and unfortunately, I suffered really wet farts for almost four days afterwards. What did I do wrong?

[@TheMabes69]

You were born, lol

[@momfromnj911]

TheMabes69 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@deaundra15]

Dairy isn't human food yet it's still eaten 😁

[@shabaotb]

Lmfaoooo

[@mokarobinson8903]

maybe you're lactose intorlent

[@sarahsong2620]

looks so creamy

[@kraft2032]

10000 cal :P looks good

[@ajs01331]

When noodles are boiled , starch is released into the water and poured down the drain when the noodles are poured into a collander . Where does the nasty starch go in this recipe ?

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

ajs01331 Hmmm, maybe it depends on noodle brand but my noodle water has little discoloration in it when I pour out the water. I get a foamy surface when boiling but taken off the heat the water isn't that bad. But I'm not discounting you comment. If you like use those 'no boil, no drain' noodles they make now. They are made just for this type of thing. That should work perfect for you. Let us know how it goes! Enjoy!

[@M.Happie]

The starch off of noodles isn't a bad thing. The starch is literally the ingredients in the pasta leaching out into the water (ex. Flour). Alot of cooks will use that water to thicken stews or sauces.

[@carleeharder8996]

would this work on a pressure cooker?

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

I have made mac and cheese in mine. I had to really watch the time but once that's adjusted, yes!

[@tarhatamaningsahali3869]

what is the duration for you to wait to make sure that mac and cheese is done after you put in the shredded cheddar

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

tarhata maning sahali Just long enough to melt the cheese well.

[@rufinocac8275]

Third Street Kitchen im starving ryt now.hahaha can i put dice mushroom

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

Rufino Cac Sounds tasty. I added crispy bacon the other day. Another time I sprinkled in French onions. The only way I like cauliflower is in mac n cheese. Anything goes!

[@ikimchi4753]

Is it bad to use metal as cooker?

[@spazzinvader9083]

yes, it change the flavor too

[@fatdice911]

So you first add everything but the cheese, and cook cycle, then add the cheese and go thru another cook cycle? What if you wanted a nice crusty brown on the bottom? Would a third cook cycle don it?

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

+Andrew Gore I think that adding cheese with the other ingredients would make a crusty bottom. Yummy.

[@babycareful1927]

Can i replace the chick stock with just water?

[@ThirdStreetKitchen]

+Anderson Ramirez Yes. That is more traditional.

[@firstmateblackpowder6266]

Aye not a good idea to be banging a metal fork on the side of it !

[@khadijahnaimah2526]

im going to make this...soon 😈

[@jeanstivers6517]

Just a smidge, a little more or less?? No measurements on cheese? Bite of pasta to see if done? Seriously? Unsure of liquid amount. I wouldn't attempt.

[@animalchan]

Do u need chicken broth

[@maddmitten]

PASTA!!! js

[@Theialovee]

the second time u connect w the cheese, how long did u cook?? 20-25 again? thank u!! i will do

[@ThirdStreet.]

Just five minutes to melt the cheese in well. Enjoy!

[@girlfireice]

chicken broth = water in which a chicken carcass is boiled with herbs and seasonings.

[@kedwa30]

+Harshita S Thankfully there is vegetable broth sold in stores as well.

[@TheMabes69]

DAMN

[@lindyramadhin2139]

looks great, but you and i have a different definition of a little

[@angelicasanjuan2198]

[@MrJerart]

[@edgarbermudez1590]

[@Britishperson131]

I love when people speak "American" lol I don't mean to bash but thats Pasta and that's mature cheddar not "sharp" 😋

[@jamming8519]
