Out of town for work & staying in a hotel for a while. Never cooked in the microwave before. I like that this video got to the point with easy instructions. Thank you.
Pro tip if you can't/don't have milk- just leave a smidgen of water at the bottom and and a few packets of mayo instead. Turns out really creamy. I'm a trucker and milk really doesn't seem to keep well with all the altitude changes so I found this as a decent alternative
I love a simple video that gets to the point and isn't full of unnecessary dribble delivered by a youtuber that's full of himself. Great job! Now this recently divorced bachelor may not starve 😁
Thank you so much for this vid 🙏 I’m not allowed to cook when I’m home alone and I was craving Mac n cheese. Also, I like how u are very straight forward.
More pro tips... 1. use less water, so you don't have to drain. 2. add the butter BEFORE you put in microwave, no worries about boiling over. 3. NO MILK. Once pasta is cooked to your liking, just add in the cheese sauce. Add more butter if needed. No MILK !!! 4. Enjoy.
Very helpful, I would only add, that I use a pair of chopsticks to mix the cheese powder in the pasta. It mixes more thoroughly and less sticks to the mixing tool. Also, any nut milk or even evaporated milk will work just as well as regular cow's milk. Enjoy!
Thank you so much 😊 Tbh I know how to cook macaroni and cheese in a pot but today I was like so lazy so I just searched up “how to cook macaroni in the microwave …” Your so helpful thank you!❤️
my stove broke but I made pulled pork in the crockpot, French fries in the air fryer & want mac n cheese to go with it, thank you bc I didn’t think you could cook it in the microwave until watching this video 🤌🏼
Stovetop recently stopped working and been craving KD for a bit now, simple and easy! Always thought it would taste weird in the microwave but other than it being a little chewy.. It tastes the exact same :)
You could add a bit more water and put it back in the microwave for a couple of more minutes (it shouldn’t be chewy. Maybe your microwave oven is old or weaker than average).
I’m commenting from my boyfriend‘s UA-cam, but anyhow, we are in a like bachelor type of apartment with a shared kitchen and this is a lifesaver because I have such a bad social anxiety that I don’t wanna go out in the kitchen and make KD 😭😭😂
I’m going to make this in a 4cup glass measuring cup because it has a handle. I would add that after the second 3-minute zap, taste one or two macaroni to see if it’s throughly cooked. If chewy, add a bit more water and microwave another minute or two. Easy peasy!
Pro tip 1 add 1 TBL spoon of butter after first 3 min to stop pasta from sticking together Pro tip 2 add 1 TBL spoon sour cream, mayo or ranch with cheese, butter & milk for creamier pasta Pro tip 3 cover pasta with shredded cheddar & microwave for 1 more minute for extra cheesy Mac n Cheese! Your welcome
I use a large bowl and do it in 2 minute intervals, then add the butter milk and cheese for the last 2 minutes. I don't have boil over and it is nice and tender and creamy.
Kudos to the man who uses extra butter and no milk. I like to put it in a bowl and throw some cheddar cheese on top and microwave in a second time 30 seconds
If you add a little salt or oil to the water it won't boil over. Also, adding butter or margarine isn't really optional. It's needed to to help the cheese powder dissolve and mix properly.
Fun fact: on a normal Kraft Mac n cheese box it’s only gives stovetop instructions ( I think) so whoever thought of kraft Mac n cheese + microwave= cheesey goodness you have saved mine and everyone’s time
My college life has gotten a lot better now. Thank you.
I’m at my colllege and I can say the same

Its better than milk imo
Ty
Thanks man
Depending on how much pasta water you have left over you can use some of that as well
ty this is a life saver

Came out very salty, pro tip: not with salted butter !
@@NoyaVol never had that happen. Come to think of it though I don't think I salt the water When I'm boiling the pasta.
@@singing4fun next time ill do the same with regular butter and see if its better
Well to late and I'm just a 13 year old that's hungry so I will cook however I need to be yum yum
Best hack ever! Worked perfectly!!! I don’t know if I’ll ever cook it on the stove again now that I know this 😂 way less clean up. Thank you!

Thank you so much I was home alone and didn't trust myself to use the oven this really did help and work

I dont have chopsticks
@@MsZoki "I dont have chopsticks"
Well, stop by your local Chinese take-out place, and they will give you a pair FREE.
I made it with almond milk once and I did not like the after taste of almonds on my mac and cheese 😖
@@breanna.O4O89O i wish milk never existed because i hate how gross it is yet i'll never prefer alternatives
Evaporated milk IS cows milk. 😅
I love this! I didn’t want to stand over the stove so I watched this, and it tastes much better too!! ❤
SO MUCH BETTER
@@ILikeRealMuzik yeah
When I saw my sister make a different version of this it looked so good I knew I had to try it out 6 months later look where I am now
I like these instructions better
Facts
Unlike the others who explaines after 5 minutes or more doesn't get started to 15 minutes 🙄
Why ? The visual is easy peasy
Me too
they sould have the microwave version on the box
Good video. No chatting, no long drawn out boring stuff. Just easy instructions on how to make Mac n Cheese. Thanks. Good video
Thank you for this buddy now I don’t have to sit at the stove for 15 minutes just to do the noodles

@@HRHDMKYT That's something I learned xD Haven't been back to the stovetop since my last comment lmao
@@ILikeRealMuziklool!
Very good video! For those concerned about BPA and plastic, alternative is to use a Corningware bowl - - 1.5 - 3.0 L size will work fine.
I’m so mind blown I never thought this kind can go in the microwave!! Thank you!!!
13 and don’t know how to use a stove very helpful

Thanks for this video now i can make mac n cheese whenever i want!
Perfect problem solving idea
POV: your mom doesn't let you cook and you want Mac&cheese
U DESERVE 1000MILLION FOLLOWERS W INTRUCTIONS
Great vid. I really needed it since I ran out of gas as I was cooking
OMG thank you so much ur a legend I was starving I had no food but I had Mac n cheese thank you so much ❤❤
This could be some easier instructions for kids.
That’s exactly why I’m watching it
I didn’t feel like washing out a pot thanks a lot
My stove stoped working and I was getting hungry thank you
this is a lifesaver, i’ve basically been living off mac and cheese and our stove just broke recently
Thank you so much I was mad bc my mom didn’t want to make any but thank you so much❤ I thought I was going to blow up my house lol
actually turned out edible and tasting okay 9/10
Its the middle of the night and my mom told me to fo to bed and im hungry for mac and cheese thank you for the instructions
THANK YOU! I can't use the stove when I'm home alone but I wanted mac and cheese.
could only afford the box of mac n cheese, couldn't buy milk or butter 😅 Thank you!
I’m going to make this in a 4cup glass measuring cup because it has a handle. I would add that after the second 3-minute zap, taste one or two macaroni to see if it’s throughly cooked. If chewy, add a bit more water and microwave another minute or two. Easy peasy!
i haven't done this since i was a kid but my pot rusted out and i don't have enough money atm for a new one thanks for the refresher lol
Being in a college dorm, this helps a lot since we don't have a stove
My noodles came out with a disgusting mushy texture like i cant bite it in half its mushy how do i change thag
Mine did the same 🥲 ruined a box
thank you so much! These instructions were so much easier to follow!
Nice! This method probably saves a lot on electric and/or gas as well.
i made some today and it was actually good!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much. I’m not allowed to use the stove because I’m home alone so thank you so much.
I did this and it actually taste good!!!
ayo it worked its 5am for me and all of my pots are dirty thank you
It's literally 12:00am and i'm making this for my uncle that just got out of work:)
Pro tip 1 add 1 TBL spoon of butter after first 3 min to stop pasta from sticking together
Pro tip 2 add 1 TBL spoon sour cream, mayo or ranch with cheese, butter & milk for creamier pasta
Pro tip 3 cover pasta with shredded cheddar & microwave for 1 more minute for extra cheesy Mac n Cheese!
Your welcome

@@Cold_Winter808 who are you
Pov: it’s 1am and you were gaming and hungry but don’t want to wake up your parents
Every time someone likes my comment I'll force myself and make a bowl of kraft dinner
Fattie
Some of us are broke can't afford a stove the belief that everyone owns a stove is foolish a microwave is 20 bucks a stove is 500+
I’m a kid so this way of cooking dinner mac and cheese is mush more easy and safe so thanks😊
Thanks so much! this tastes SUPER good! Will be making again.
Bored as hell wacthing these because i dont got a working stove and i want some mac and cheese

POV: You want to eat Mac&cheese with Netflix but your parents are away.
Has anyone in the history of microwaves ever been able to see what happens inside a microwave?
look through it's screen thingymabob otherwise you got a weird microwave man..
Goodlooks just saved me mad time
I use a large bowl and do it in 2 minute intervals, then add the butter milk and cheese for the last 2 minutes. I don't have boil over and it is nice and tender and creamy.
Guys i made this at school, it was a little chewy but otherwise delicious 10/10 would eat again
this was actually lit
Be careful if its over heated it will EXPLODE 😧
I added the milk only and the mix it was soooo goooddd
I use olive oil but only 2 tbsp instead of 4 butter. Plus I use extra milk as I like it creamy
I searched this up as a joke and now im doing it daily💀💀💀
LOL SAME I LOVE IT NOW
I’m doing this so I don’t Fing wake up my Dad at night while I work a 1 to 10 job.
Give this video like cause it helped me a 13-year-old
Thanks😊
I added salt pepper and velveeta to the mac&cheese ( velveeta is a cheese brand)
Thank you the recipe was great.
It works this made my day!
Kudos to the man who uses extra butter and no milk. I like to put it in a bowl and throw some cheddar cheese on top and microwave in a second time 30 seconds
Not bad at all I was hungry and I found this ima go make it

This method I use, but less milk. I use a glass Pyrex bowl, and sometimes extra cheese and sour cream instead of milk.

Thank you! My house doesnt have s srove
This is Amazing. Thanks. makes it easier😀
Thank you so much for this vid🙂 It’s help me a lot
If you add a little salt or oil to the water it won't boil over. Also, adding butter or margarine isn't really optional. It's needed to to help the cheese powder dissolve and mix properly.
Ok thk
That butter addition great especially if you're using non-craft mac and cheese.
Thanks, that was really helpful.
Fun fact: on a normal Kraft Mac n cheese box it’s only gives stovetop instructions ( I think) so whoever thought of kraft Mac n cheese + microwave= cheesey goodness you have saved mine and everyone’s time
2 things:
First, this is easier than what it says on the box.
Second, it doesn’t taste that different
