Clearly it is the same brand. Perhaps you meant it was made by a completely different corporation that has licensed the brand name? Kind of like how Sara Lee cake mixes are no longer made by Sara Lee, since they sold that division some years ago. Now Sara Lee only (or mainly?) produces meat products, like the Hillshire Farms, and Black Oak brands.

See, where he went wrong was he followed the cooking directions on the box. NO ONE makes it like it says to on the box lol You get that soupy, horrible mess if you do. You measure the butter with your heart, and just enough milk to make it creamy, then stop. Never follow the KD directions. Never.

Honestly, the white cheddar kitties and bunnies annies is my favorite its just like the white cheddar but cute shapes that undercooking makes them really satisfyingly aldente for boxed mac and cheese

@dolfinsbizou Месяц назад

Being European and living in Canada, I've come to associate boxed mac and cheese (which I had heard of A LOT before moving to north america) with KD, so I am shocked to discover that Canada's neighbours have a different version of the stuff, and that you find it to be much better than KD. (Though I don't know how you managed to get it this soupy, never happened with me) Now I guess I have to find a USian version to taste it.

He followed the instructions. Never follow KD instructions or you get disappointment. The Cheetos ones DO deliver on point the flavour (if that's the taste you're going for)

i have to agree with him on the KD. I do like the Sharp one, but only with hot sauce and ground beef if I get ambitious enough.

The taste has changed around quite a bit to where you kinda have to make your own formula to get it how you personally like I feel

I always end up adding less milk and more butter than all the instructions call for a few of these seem wayyyy more runny than I remember, like the orange and white annies shells are basically the same

@jessicapadron7886 Месяц назад

Same

@Fafhrd42 Месяц назад

I think they were preparing them all per box instructions, and the Annie's instructions don't include milk and butter (iirc after the main instructions they put milk and butter as 'optional'). Epicurious made the same mistake when they did their 'all the mac and cheese' video.

@silm4ril Месяц назад

Yep, if you follow the box directions for Annie's, you are doing it wrong. Always sub butter for milk.

@000euMJ Месяц назад

I always undercook the pasta and then finish cooking it in the sauce untill it thickens. I even usually add more milk doing it that way, but it still turns out thick and delicious.

@ErickC Месяц назад

@@Fafhrd42 : that's not a mistake, deviating from the box instructions would make any comparisons pointless because you're now playing chef and injecting your own tastes and judgment into the outcome versus ranking the products as they were intended to be made. I'm sure the Deluxe boxes would taste great if they chucked the sauce and made their own, but then what's the point?

@jonlavigne3270 Месяц назад

I think the draw of the "deluxe" is that you don't have to add butter and milk. I actually like the Great Value Deluxe but I understand the chemical aftertaste. The secret is to make the macaroni with peppers and onions and kielbasa and two cups of water and a cup of milk and add the cheese sauce after the macaroni has absorbed most of the moisture. So use the pasta and the sauce to make something that isn't mac and cheese at all.

When I make Kraft Original I pull a Chef John and add a small pinch of cayenne (like a 1/32 or less tsp), just enough to know there is something there without actually tasting it or feeling a burn. Wakes the taste buds up.

Thanks for the warning! Looks like I won't be trying Canada's KD anytime soon, though I had been curious to see if it was just like regular Kraft Mac.

You missed the Vons/Safeway/Albertsons and Ralphs/Smiths generic boxes. Ralphs actually has two, both of which are pretty similar to the original blue box. And Trader Joe's boxed, although I think TJs discontinued elbows and just have shells with white cheddar now...

The Daiya brand was my special treat back when I was gluten and dairy free (misdiagnosed Celiacs, really UC, long story). Specifically the white cheddar version with veggies, which I think you missed. I still am allergic to dairy, so I will give one of the higher rated vegan brands a try. Thanks for suffering for us!

@ladygrndr9424 Месяц назад

I will say, I wish you had grouped all the vegan brands together, not only for ease of finding them but to see how the ranked directly against each other :)

@DiannawithtwoNs Месяц назад

Less than six minutes into this video and I found myself craving mac & cheese, so I went downstairs to make some! We didn't have any of the boxed stuff so I used some pasta (several different kinds, combining what was open), two different types of cheese (sharp cheddar, and some 4-cheese Mexican blend for added flavor), milk, and cream of chicken soup. Popped it in the oven for a bit after boiling and added some breadcrumb on top, and as usual it was a 10/10. This is a recipe we have on the rare occasion and it makes me realize how much more I'd like to have mac & cheese on the regular.
