I knew you'd like it, Vincenzo. Everybody's does. We know it's junk food, but we have it in the back of our pantry for that moment we come home from a bar and need a quick rescue. Love how you wanted to hate it, but couldn't. You are amazing, Sir.
@@DrewReckless A year can change a lot. I'm vegan now so I make my own cheese sauce with cashews and dairy free cheese. The lack of cruelty tastes amazing.
I use to looooooove the blue box when I was a kid, but then I got older and questioned that powder!!!!! But I tell you when if you are broke and only have a box of this and a can of tuna.... OMG the flavors mix together... Damn it now I am hungry
I was raised by a Sicilian mother so homemade everything! It would have been great if you had made your good version and compared them together; taste, the time taken to prepare, ease, etc. What an eye-opener! Homemade foods don't have to take all day to be good. I love your channel!!
@@vincenzosplate I make a béchamel base which I add shredded aged white cheddar to. I bake the macaroni in the oven with the cheese sauce mixed with shredded mozzarella. I also add bacon usually. It’s of course not authentic, but it’s incredibly tasty. Love your content! Keep it up!
Oh, I know you would hate this Vincenzo....but this was my one processed food item I would have as a child, and I admit it's still a guilty pleasure from time to time. What's interesting is that the packaging is different than here in America: the pasta is directly in the cardboard box (smaller diameter and isn't quite as yellow). The cheese powder is actually way more of an artificial yellow (so maybe it's even a more concentrated drug for us Americans). It's weird your box directions say to use 1/2 cup milk and mix everything. The American directions are to melt butter, than add 1/4 cup milk, mix the packet, and then mix the macaroni. One time my mom and I tried another Kraft macaroni product that might be more popular now: using an instant Velveeta sauce that has no prep: it was the most artificial 🤮 I have ever tried. I don't know if I should suggest trying one of their instant packets just so you can appreciate the "cheese powder" 😀. Now I did grow up with good cooking: my mom especially would focus on great home cooked dinners. When I was a tiny kid, I also never got enough of broccoli with cheese. Now also being in an area where I can get better ingredients, I'm just prepping most my own food.
It's interesting to hear about your experiences with different versions of macaroni and cheese! Food preferences and preparations can vary across regions. It's great that you appreciate both homemade cooking and exploring new ingredients. Keep enjoying your culinary adventures! 🍽️👨🍳
@@vincenzosplate Yeah, it's just one of those items that I know isn't good, but it's still a guilty pleasure from time to time. Maybe there is a secret "salt bae" in that Kraft cheese powder.😀
One thing i can say is that "box meals" are a good starting point for new and young cooks, because you can take the ingredients and show them how to cook right. Good for teaching techniques, but now good for teaching proper ingredients and their uses.
To be honest as an American, eating Kraft makes me cry too. Italian food is some of the best in the world....also my parents make spaghetti mushy...it's not right...I love my pasta Al Dentè, everytime.
I don't get why most people outside of Italy like their pasta overcooked. On the other hand, the way I like my pasta even an Italian would call them undercooked
Yes, after watching your videos nobody wants to cook Like before Thank you very much, Vincenzo, for sharing your great cooking video with us. Greetings to Suzanne, to Sebastian, to your families in Australia and in Italy and to you from the Swiss Kitchen Dummy.
That's interesting! 🤩 "Käsespätzle" sounds delicious, and it's fascinating to learn about German cuisine. It's amazing how different cultures have their own unique versions of pasta. Keep exploring the world of food with me! 🌍🍝
I cant lie..... as much as i love real mac n cheese of any kind, there will always be a place in my heart for boxed macaroni and cheese. its awful , i know, but its a nostalgic thing.
I LOVED this video! Ages ago when I was in art school and had pennies to my name we used to cook this up, tossing 2 boxes into the boiling water.

@@vincenzosplate Can't wait to watch it. Cheers from the South of Brazil. Grand grandson of Italian immigrants here. Angelo Ruzzarin Borges. U r the best!
When I was a kid I NEVER like Kraft Mac & cheese and still don't. I don't know why people at the time was so hype about it and their stupid commercials .lol
What does you being Swiss has anything to do with it? There are different types of cheeses. Kraft Mac and cheese is like a dollar. I don’t expect it to come with real cheese with that price range.
Final point: take a cheese and grate it, dehydrate it, and mill it into powder, an you could store cheese during times of drought or calamity. America was built on the fronteer, and the fronteer was build on drying and canning and preserving. I feel that we hold the market for processed goods because of that history from our country.
@@vincenzosplate espacially since this isn't even convenience anymore at this point. I mean, if you do the same steps but instead of the powder, dump a handful of shredded cheese in there, even if you don't change anything else, you already have a better dish at the exact same time with the exact same effort.
The worst part: there's generic versions of the blue box. As a kid, I had a lot of the generic stuff. The mac and cheese ended up being huge chunks of pasta. The mac and cheese ended up coagulated and rubbery. Vincienzo, forgive me for I have sinned, but the only way I could eat that stuff was to add ketchup to it. There's only a few brands of processed cheese that taste good. Kraft is often considered one of the best. Land O Lakes and a few others. Past that, the quality drops sharply
@@vincenzosplate 🤣 What can I say. I grew up on KD and as a kid you find weird ways to hand fun. Ketchup and Hotdogs for me! But since then I've learned to jazz it up by baking macaroni with Bread crumbs, paprika, black pepper and Real Cheese :) I do use an air fryer instead of a microwave at least
Wow Vincenzo, this episode is hilarious! You just roasted Kraft Mac and Cheese which has been a staple to many North Americans. I love it Vincenzo you are the best!
My wife’s cousin is a chemist at a big food company. His job is to give food texture and flavor via chemicals. For example, how to create cheese flavor that is cheaper than the cheapest cheese. All natural chemicals… natural means nothing on a food label.
I never understood these packets, you can knock up a mornay sauce while the pasta cooks and just mix together at the end. That just takes the time of the pasta cooking so is quicker.
The amount of pasta is for 2 persons. So, in the same amount, if you made by your self,with real cheese and good quality pasta, coming more cheaper than this and better for your health. The tasty is from milk and butter, this makes it tasty.
I think one can forgo the dodgy powder, make a butter sauce (butter, flour, a bit of salt and water, perhaps with some garlic) and and a little bit of cheese that you grade. Or maybe it can be saved by boiling the macaroni in the sauce. In both cases, it'll still be a rather bad product, but I think a single pot-casserole would't be overcooked, and it'll probably be more convenient. Mac and cheese, I prefer it with a caulifour soup as the main thickner, and it's easier to conserve that way.
Did you ever try SPAM (the canned meat by Hormel)? I think it's an abomination but during WWII, it was the only meat a lot of Hawaiians had during the early years of the war. As a result, Hawaiians still love it and has become a "comfort food" for them. I never had Kraft macaroni and cheese as a kid (we were poor and mom made most food from scratch) but my own children had this as a quick lunch, and as a result, they love it because it reminds them of when they were kids. These days, they love the mac and cheese I make from scratch (using bechamel base), but they would still eat this Kraft garbage.
It's fascinating to learn about the cultural significance of certain foods like SPAM and Kraft macaroni and cheese. Food holds powerful memories and emotions for many of us. If you ever feel adventurous, I'd love to share some homemade pasta recipes with you. Happy cooking and creating new food memories! 👨🍳🍝
@@vincenzosplate Certainly. One of my earliest (and fondest) memories was my grandmother coming to visit and making homemade ravioli and cavatelli with my mother at the kitchen table on a huge wooden board they kept for that purpose. And for what it's worth, I used to make Carbonara all wrong. It was your technique for making Carbonara that I use now for special guests. Next time, I'm using a better pasta from your recommended list!
In simplest terms food like this is meant to what we call “shut a kid tf up”, never thought it was meant to be good for you, just good for parents mental health.
Never had the boxed stuff (thank God). I tried many recipes for Mac n cheese. Used fresh cheese, made my own sauce, baked it with breadcrumbs, etc... My friends loved it but it wasn't for me. Too rich for my palate.
People eat this because they never learned how to cook and convenience has become a fetish. However, this Mac & Cheese food it is not the worst food, it is just very bland. Making the same dich from scratch should not be more expensive that this package version.
Vincenzo's Plate is the 'David and Goliath' story of one man's struggle to save Italian cuisine and our bellies from bad industrial food, Tiktok amateurs, and Michelin star knockoffs.
@@tamibayus3390 unfortunately a lot of people eat only to fill their belly and/or to show off to their friends/circle, they either don't know what a good food is or just don't care
@@vincenzosplate I'm Italian and I have it in my cupboard but I only eat it when I'm too lazy to make real pasta past midnight lol I like the trashy cheese powder 😂
Kraft uses ziti pasta, Velveeta uses shell pasta. Sadly, if you can cook, you can do better with only 10 more minutes of work. Living in America i prefer kraft over Velveeta, however, i would rather make it myself properly because that way i know what is in the food without any preservatives.
This is such a huge honour, I hope you'll continue to learn and make amazing Italian dishes and with my help, i'm confident I can help you succeed in the kitchen.
Vincenzo I love when you roast / make fun of bad quality foods. It is hilarious. I agree with you 1000% Kraft Mac and Cheese is awful. Powdered fake ingredients. Make it the authentic Italian way.
As a lover of authentic Italian cuisine, I am passionate about using fresh and high-quality ingredients to create dishes that are bursting with flavor. Kraft Mac and Cheese may have its place as a quick and convenient option, but it can't compare to the rich and genuine taste of authentic Italian recipes. Embracing traditional cooking methods and real ingredients is the key to creating memorable and satisfying meals.
laughing hard... Yeah, that stuff, even the organic version, is tasty. Once in a blue moon, we get a box of the organic version. Why when I can do better? No clue. Anyway... Get a good sharp cheddar & shred it. Make a béchamel using cream, *heavy* cream is the best. (Yeah, the kind for making whipped cream.) You can go with half whole milk & cream, too... As soon as the béchamel is thickened to your liking, stir in a good 2 to 2-1/2 cups of the shredded cheese, stirring to melt & blend. Add pasta & mix. And pepper. It goes very well with pepper. ;D I like using penne or the little shells (my favorite shape as a child) for the pasta. They both seems to fill with the cheese sauce. It does not taste like the boxed stuff, it tastes better, but without the chemicals (which is probably why it is addictive). That is my way of making quick American macaroni & cheese. We do not have it often, but it is quick to make if you have "one of those days".
They could improve it by using real freeze dried grated cheddar (freeze drying techs gotten really good recently thanks to legal weed and artisan hash makers)
You should't be embarrassed when you eat this, but I do want to suggest try recreating your own at home and not just settle the ready to eat ones. I'm sure you'll love the experience and the flavors it creates is out of this world too. If you want a recipe, here's one from my website. www.vincenzosplate.com/macaroni-and-cheese-recipe/
American Kraft Mac N Cheese is AWFUL! Being a USA Citizen of Indiana…. My Mom cooked homemade food for us everyday! It wasn’t until I were in my 20’s that I ever tried it! 🤢🥴 I think I was 25 before I actually had cereal! Mom got up and made us fresh breakfast, packed out lunch for school, and a big meal for dinner!!! Then some kind of “before bed” dessert. MISSING MOM! 🙏🏼
Please never try the microwave bowls of this product. Even lovers of Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese are bitterly divided on this product, which doesn't even require milk or butter. Just water. It's a soup of chemicals.
I didnt realize kraft dinner in the states came in plastic bags. In canada it looks much different, is it good? No not really, but it looks better than that. Edit. The "sauce packet" looks worse than it is here. It looks much more like cheese than that. It's still a powder and wrong. But it looks better than whatever the hell you just made somehow
Hey there! Thanks for your feedback. I always try to cook traditional Italian dishes with fresh ingredients, but I respect everyone's taste preferences.👨🍳🇮🇹
@Vincenzo's Plate oh I'm not saying its better here, it likely tastes the same as the american kind. Though i do usually keep a box or two in the house. My son will usually cook one when he gets home from school. It's quick, and easy, single pot, after school snack.
Did you grow up eating Kraft Mac & Cheese? What is your opinion now?
Not very edible as an adult. Only way to do that as an adult is to add ketchup. Only eat now when broke.
The Canadian version is way better than the American Kraft Mac and cheese. The Canadian one is called Kraft Dinner though. I still eat it all the time
It's a cheap meal when one is broke. Which is a constant for me right now.
Don't look at me with those eyes! I don't need your sympathy!
I LOVE MAC N CHEESE!! Ima chef as well but i understand its comfort food
Yes, put some hot sauce in it 😋
I love when he was like… yeah it’s tasty 😂… weirdly- he’s right. Love you Vincenzo!
Love you too, Brother! Hello from Australia!
The thing is that it's not even that cheap because you still need milk and butter anyway. At that point you can just make it yourself.
It would be best to just make it yourself.
But cheese is expensive by itself lol
(You can also add water instead of milk)

I don't think kraft Mac is that bad, however, I will always make my own first. I only eat kraft when my fiance makes it for me
Good idea, always learn to experiment on your own too. Maybe who knows, you'll be the one cooking Mac for your wife soon.
I have the same Moka pot and Large pot where you boiled the pasta :D hahahaha
Great!!
Id rather try a good Panna Cotta, since it's the message
here you can find my Panna Cotta recipe www.vincenzosplate.com/recipe-items/strawberry-panna-cotta/
vincenzo you should check out Tasting History with Max Miller: Macaroni & Cheese from 1845 for some history on mac and cheese and kraft as well.
Awesome 👍😎
Thanks ✌️
It's like eating cheese flavored glue
As sad as that looked, it looked better than the American version we get.
It's more of a nostalgia thing for me since I grew up eating it
do you still eat it?
Rarely but sometimes I just get a craving but do prefer making it from scratch
@@vincenzosplate I'm Italian and I have it in my cupboard but I only eat it when I'm too lazy to make real pasta past midnight lol
I like the trashy cheese powder 😂
Kraft uses ziti pasta, Velveeta uses shell pasta.
Sadly, if you can cook, you can do better with only 10 more minutes of work.
Living in America i prefer kraft over Velveeta, however, i would rather make it myself properly because that way i know what is in the food without any preservatives.
No matter how tasty it may be, it is not good for your body. Real cheese on the other hand is another story altogether.
I agree with you on this.
Vincenzo: Be creative
Also Vincenzo: Don't be creative
ops 😅
It's cheap rubbish but is sooooo delicious
Oh nooo
I think „delicious“ is not quite the right word for this chemistry product.
For you, yes. For me, not so much. Bet it's "deliciousness" is because of added MSG.
@@elektrogstanzl it's a comfort food for many Americans
@@henryford2950 Uncle Roger approves
i started watching your channel tried some of your recipes and i absolutely love them and yes i would just rather eat cacio e pepe than this crap.
This is such a huge honour, I hope you'll continue to learn and make amazing Italian dishes and with my help, i'm confident I can help you succeed in the kitchen.
Vincenzo I love when you roast / make fun of bad quality foods. It is hilarious. I agree with you 1000% Kraft Mac and Cheese is awful. Powdered fake ingredients. Make it the authentic Italian way.
As a lover of authentic Italian cuisine, I am passionate about using fresh and high-quality ingredients to create dishes that are bursting with flavor.
Kraft Mac and Cheese may have its place as a quick and convenient option, but it can't compare to the rich and genuine taste of authentic Italian recipes. Embracing traditional cooking methods and real ingredients is the key to creating memorable and satisfying meals.
I know I'm a couple of years late to this, but am I really the only person that absolutely HATES kraft mac&cheese?
10:56 bon appétit😁
It's tasty because in contains MSG - like ingredients
u will be ok 🤣
Hahahahaah 😁
laughing hard... Yeah, that stuff, even the organic version, is tasty. Once in a blue moon, we get a box of the organic version. Why when I can do better? No clue. Anyway... Get a good sharp cheddar & shred it. Make a béchamel using cream, *heavy* cream is the best. (Yeah, the kind for making whipped cream.) You can go with half whole milk & cream, too... As soon as the béchamel is thickened to your liking, stir in a good 2 to 2-1/2 cups of the shredded cheese, stirring to melt & blend. Add pasta & mix. And pepper. It goes very well with pepper. ;D I like using penne or the little shells (my favorite shape as a child) for the pasta. They both seems to fill with the cheese sauce. It does not taste like the boxed stuff, it tastes better, but without the chemicals (which is probably why it is addictive). That is my way of making quick American macaroni & cheese. We do not have it often, but it is quick to make if you have "one of those days".
They could improve it by using real freeze dried grated cheddar (freeze drying techs gotten really good recently thanks to legal weed and artisan hash makers)
I am so embarrassed when I make and eat this I close the drapes, and enjoy it in secret.
You should't be embarrassed when you eat this, but I do want to suggest try recreating your own at home and not just settle the ready to eat ones. I'm sure you'll love the experience and the flavors it creates is out of this world too. If you want a recipe, here's one from my website.

Lovely this dish 😍👍

I love your Recipe
American Kraft Mac N Cheese is AWFUL!
Being a USA Citizen of Indiana…. My Mom cooked homemade food for us everyday! It wasn’t until I were in my 20’s that I ever tried it! 🤢🥴
I think I was 25 before I actually had cereal!
Mom got up and made us fresh breakfast, packed out lunch for school, and a big meal for dinner!!! Then some kind of “before bed” dessert. MISSING MOM! 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing your story, it's always nice to hear about homemade meals. And I totally agree, traditional Italian cooking is the way to go! 🇮🇹👨🍳
Please never try the microwave bowls of this product. Even lovers of Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese are bitterly divided on this product, which doesn't even require milk or butter. Just water. It's a soup of chemicals.
Put ketchup on it 😂
Crap Mac&drug 😄😄 Wait, how do u know it's worse than drugs 😂😂😂
HAHAHAAH 🤣🤣
Yummy
do you like Kraft mac and cheese?
@@vincenzosplate yes
you can do it when you are broke baby, I'll tell you that.
True!
I didnt realize kraft dinner in the states came in plastic bags. In canada it looks much different, is it good? No not really, but it looks better than that.
Edit. The "sauce packet" looks worse than it is here. It looks much more like cheese than that. It's still a powder and wrong. But it looks better than whatever the hell you just made somehow
Hey there! Thanks for your feedback. I always try to cook traditional Italian dishes with fresh ingredients, but I respect everyone's taste preferences.👨🍳🇮🇹
@Vincenzo's Plate oh I'm not saying its better here, it likely tastes the same as the american kind. Though i do usually keep a box or two in the house. My son will usually cook one when he gets home from school. It's quick, and easy, single pot, after school snack.
I thinks its MSG that make that tasty
🤔🤔
uncle Roger from a distance: FUIYOOOO
Definately! Too much MSG (which is a thing Uncle Roger) will have these symptoms.
Plus, look at the amount of sodium in the ingredients.
Why wouldn’t they put it in the ingredients list tho? Wouldn’t that make them vulnerable to litigation?
You're supposed to add ketchup.
😱😱
Ummm no you don’t
Nothing can substitute real food
so true!
I think you like to be very dramatic on camera but when the camera turns off you are eating all of it :D
Haha! You caught me. 🙈
