      Mac and cheese essentially is just salt, fat, carbs. Since there is no acidity or heatness from peppers or spicyness from spices be cumin, cardamon, turmeric, coriander, it doesn't offends children's palate.

    Not surprised you don't like mac & cheese, if the boxed kind is all you've ever had.
    Made from scratch, with more than one kind of cheese & baked with a crispy topping,
    mac & cheese can be delicious. Add meat or seafood, and it's divine! Adding green
    veggie (broccoli or asparagus) makes a one-pot meal. Try it! ;-)

    I think the mac and cheese maker is probably something college students would love. But, in regular households, WHY? Wait i can think of why, i had a lot of small appliances when i lived in a place with no stove, but, none were true unitaskers, but, i imagine you could make any pasta, rice and ramen in the mac and cheese nation. At least i would and saves on dishes to wash, it being plastic is not a great thing tho.

  • @mordeys
    @mordeys 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Other than the off gassing of plastic smell. I can see this being useful for college dorm, truck driver or some who travels and stays in hotels alot. No need for a strainer. And to wash it just put water and soap in it and turn it on. Most things you would cook the paddle wouldn't be in the way. For $30 list price it should be better quality. But if I can find one for my son who is a truck driver or had I known about this for my husband. Would have. I can see frying small amounts of ground meat in it for stews of even tacos on the road. With the lid no splatter. But I think it should be a higher quality and it would be a great item.

    I always make a roux. Drain the pasta in a strainer and set aside. Melt butter in the pot, stir in the powdered cheese on low heat until its incorporated and clumped together. Slowly stir the milk into the mixture until smooth and return the pasta back into the pot, stirring until well combined. The cheese is much creamier this way. (: Try it!

    Just some helpful info on this device for anyone curious: It was developed for disabled people who are in wheelchairs and/or have a motor control disorder like Parkinson's or cerebral palsy. The reason it's more accessible than a stovetop pot is these reasons - It can be placed much lower down on a short table the right height for a wheelchair, it can be very difficult for people with disabilities to grip a spoon to stir so the crank handle allows for stirring. Metal pots filled with water are heavy and it can be very difficult with people with low grip strength or shakiness to lift the pot off the stove and bring it to the sink to drain without dropping it or spilling it on themselves. It can all be taken apart easily and put into a dishwasher for low effort cleanup. It can also make lots of other food besides mac & cheese

    Emmy, I bought the mac and cheese maker at a yard sale just yesterday afternoon. It's in almost-new condition and I got it for only twice what you paid (it was originally sold at CVS for $19.99).
    About 45 minutes ago, it hit me that I should look for a video review of it before attempting to use it and sure enough, this was at the top of the list!
    You're right about it being limited as to what you can cook in it (the instructions specifically tell you not to cook rice in it), but it has the potential to become an ubiquitous symbol of college dorm/bachelor pad life in America! With that thought in mind, SmartPlanet should also come out with the Ramen Noodle Nation ramen noodle maker! It would probably be the same thing, except with an off-white body and temperature dial, a red top and base and a different logo.
    Emmy, I've found that you can get the top off easiest by holding the body handle down with one hand and pulling up on the opened slot door with the other, although that's just when it's not running, so I'll have to find out when I try it out!
    I really enjoy your international MRE reviews. I have a Vietnam War surplus canteen, canteen cup and cup stovestand (they all nest together nicely inside the cover) plus a USGI mess kit. Have you ever thought about doing videos about field kitchens?

I'm sure you could even scrap the lid apparatus and use it to make hot water for tea, coffee, or ramen with how fast it boils the water. Also my extra-creamy boxed mac and cheese secret is to stir up the cheese powder with the milk right as i put the noodles in the water, let it sit for a while and stir it every once in a while to let it fully dissolve into the milk, then add it to the buttered noodles at the end. I also like to add a slice of american cheese, or (ashamed to say) if I'm feeling extra naughty, two slices.

    To be honest, if you want to get the water for pasta boiled quickly, you can use a kettle, and then transfer the water into a pot. It only takes about 3 minutes. I always use this method when I want to cook pasta, because waiting for the water to come to the boil in a pot takes soooo long. I don't think I've ever actually had mac and cheese, btw. Some of the home cooked versions (not the boxed ones) look really good, so I would like to try it at some point.

    This would forsure be useful in a dorm situation. I would almost even suggest it being helpful with kids just learning to cook while avoiding the open flame (on a gas stove), however the heating element with the plastic unit seems to be a potential danger. This ones a flip/flop for me, but the fact that it worked at all was rather impressive.
