Hey everyone! thanks for watching and sharing this video. Tell me where you’re from if you’re new! My kids and husband love kraft Mac n cheese. I edited this out of the video, but I can make a gourmet homemade Mac and cheese with $50 in cheeses and they’ll still ask for “normal” macaroni and cheese 🙄😂. Have a great day! - Lisa
Something about the Kraft version - I am not saying I won't eat a fancy Mac n' cheese, but I would say add lobster to it if you want a fancy variety. Thanks for this, I'll give it a go simply to skip stirring the noodles every few min, or watch the pot over boil - always a good time.
hi! i'm new, watching from oakland, ca. i still love kraft mac n cheese; probably nostalgia from latchkey tween after school snacking days. now, with a little, we make mac n cheese a lot, so this instant pot version is great! as of this morning i only knew bits and pieces about cooking with an instant pot, but now, after watching about an hour of your videos, i feel much more confident. i'm not an experienced cook in general, but especially in covid times, i'm learning. i'm a teacher, and i really appreciate your pace, delivery of info, and explanations. you remind me of some of my adorable rockstar students who love to cook. thanks for your help!
"normal" mac n cheese. Of course! If it aint broke, stop tryin' a fix it!😂
prefer it in the instant pot over the stove. The stove isn't always fully cooked while the instant pot does. This tend to leave the stove making me feel ill while the instant pot I feel great and the food even taste better. I'd assume doing something similar with spaghetti. Also get pretty sick eating stove pot spaghetti. I actually put the butter into the water to cook and leave it in for 5 minutes after the 4 minute cook time. They end up really soft in turn. I then add the of course the milk and cheese powder after. to be fair I've even done it without milk and it's turned out fine adding a little more butter. not too much to overwhelm it.
Trying this today for snacks at a daycare I work at! Using the same instant pot
This helps handicapped folks like me that cant manage stovetop cooking. I also chop up onions and green peppers to cook with the noodles.
I have a newer instant pot without the manual option. I just set it to the 3 mins on high pressure, and when it got to pressure and started its 3 min countdown, I set a 5 min timer on my phone. (to let it naturally release for 2 mins before I fully released pressure). This worked perfectly! Thanks!
I made the one box version today and my husband thought it was the best mac and cheese ever.. I really appreciate you sharing this.
I'm a trucker with a Ninja Foodie and this adjustment has helped greatly, thank you. 😊
I an SOO glad you worked this out. I knew the secret was going to be, getting right amount of water. Thank you for saving me the experiment.
Maximizing the use of an appliance extends to using it for the simple "guilty" pleasures (like Kraft Dinner) as well. My 8 sisters and 1 brother grew up with it and still love it so
Kraft Dinner ❤👍 +
Instant Pot❤👍
= one more❤👍 🤣😂
I have a different brand of pressure cooker and just got it a little while ago and have been experimenting cooking things. I saw you, the other night, make mac and cheese. I was looking for a snack tonight for my fiancé and I and was looking through the cupboards, saw the box of mac and cheese! I have to try it! I have learned how to use my machine like the Instant Pot, so I did it, step by step, but in addition to the normal ingredients, I add jarred queso dip cheese. Oh my. In the 52 years I've been on this planet have I had PERFECT noodles! My fiancé was in awe, as well. Thank you, Lisa! I love your videos, too. You're funny and I just love your laid-back personality! 😊❤
I'm in a snow storm in Texas with only an instapot to cook. This is very helpful
I’m new to Instant Pot. This is my 3 meal. And my Mac & Cheese came out perfectly! Thank you so much!
😅 I grew up eating the box version. Secretly, I still love it. 😁
It worked beautifully with Annie's brand too. Delish!
I used this method four times now and it's been consistently perfect.
Love it works perfect added those to my how to list!! Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much for this awesome video. I followed your instructions and my Mac and Cheese came out perfect! 😊
Immediately tried this and it definitely works perfectly!
I just made this, followed each step. And it was perfect. I like Mac and Cheese once in awhile, today was the day. I had to add a little something... a little cream cheese... Monterrey Jack cheese. 😋😋😋 Yummy good stuff!! Thanks for sharing this easy way of the Boxed Stuff 😋😋
Thank you for this post! We had a fire in our oven/stove & it’s during the Covid 19 pandemic. We needed to find alternative ways to cook & you’re our hero. Truly appreciate your posts.
Sorry to hear that!!
So fast and easy. My kids loved it.
Awesome hack! Thanks for this! Quick easy dinner now even easier!
Making this later today now. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this! My partner and I are living in what's essentially a hotel room, and one of the rules is that we can't have a hotplate, so we got an instant pot and we're pretty broke so great value brand easy mac with canned tuna is a go to for us
Add a can of cream of mushroom soup and some drain, canned peas to your mac & cheese with the tuna
Man I love boxed Mac and cheese so much. I’ll try so many different recipes but I’ll still always go back to the box lol. Thanks for making this video I’ve been looking this up online and always found recipes that are a flop. Yours makes a lot more sense!!
Looks delish. Thanks😊
Thanks for this! i am stuck in a scenario where i have an instant pot but no access to a stove. This video is pure gold.
This was perfect. Thank you for this!!!!
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed today!
Thanks for the tip. I'm giving this a try.
This recipe work perfect thank you very much
Thanks for the videos. Our family just started using the Instant Pot. We're from Iowa.
Thank you for this! I don't have a stove so this is super helpful!
Excellent! Thank you for this - my mac & cheese came out PERFECT!
Thanks so much for testing thos and sharing. Currently visiting family we are staying at their cabin and mac and cheese box is always easy when feeding picky kiddos. So I did a quick search of box mac N cheese and found your! I knew my IP would be put to good use. Also the Mac N cheese turned out fantastic! Kids are quietly wolfing out down and humming 😂.
Thanks again!!
Amazing! Thank you so much! ❤
I am having my kitchen renovated so I have no stove ..I'm doing everything with the instant pot ...thank you!
It's amazing good idea useful tips
Thanks for this.
This is exactly why I'm planning on investing on an Instant pot.
thank you for this video!!!
Thank you thank you thank you. With little kids is so much easier to not have to worry about boiling hot water that could spill or forgetting about the boiling hot water. Thank you.
We just got an IP Ultra Mini and discovered your channel! 🙂 My wife, also named Lisa 😁 and I are total fans!! Can't wait to put our IP to good use. 🙌
Thank you for showing us how to do this. Our stove top is not working and I am learning a lot more things our instant pot can cook.
I'm going to try this.
This worked perfectly thanks! fist meal in my preassure cooker and I cant believe how well it turned out. I used kraft brand with a Deni cooker. A difference was i sauted some vegetables before (onion, red peppers, mushroom) in sesame oil and butter then added everything like in the video. Thought id try out the "brown" feature on the cooker and it worked just as well as a wok. I think the oil/butter made the noodles not stick because they were just perfect when i opened it. 3 minutes to cook and I waited 4 under preassure. Oh I should mention in my manual it says not to cook cereals / apple sauce or macaroni]
oodles because those things tend to sputter and could block the floating valve. I guess the trick is using exactly 1 and half cups of water so that doesnt happen. Great recipe, thanks again.
Thanks. This this helped a lot I used her water amount plus a little extra (for evaporation) and cooked it on a stove top. The rest of the recipe is the same either way, stove top or pressure cooker.
Where I live propane is expensive so I avoid the stove, additionally, I have rheumatoid arthritis, and for me this is much more doable - thanks for sharing!
Thank you!! My Valentine’s Day special going forward. My KD stuck to the pot when I poured them. I think it was because my pot was wet from just being washed. Be sure to pour into a dry pot! Turned out good tho! ❤
Good thing I've never tried my Kraft macaroni and cheese in my pressure cooker, it's a good thing to do thanks for sharing!
Wow that's awesome 😎
Woohoo!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing 🌞🌞🌞
Love this
Thank you! We moved from MN ➡️ AZ and all of our things were delayed two weeks. I only had my instant pot. 👍🏼
Going to be my first meal 🥘 to try with my new duo 80
Might make this later today 🙈🙈🙈
I and my four grandchildren are in a hotel. Thank you for this, i brought my instant pot to cook
Thank you for sharing your great recipe.The quality of your video is realy nice. Is there any chance that I can get to know the model of your camera?
I think this is also brilliant for kids to learn to make this
I tried this! my Costco only sells the "50% more" boxes of KD so I did 1.5X the recipe and it wasn't ideal. the pasta stuck together and just wouldn't come apart. I love the instant pot but this is just something that the stove is definitely the way to go. love your videos!
Fantastic...I'm going to do this just for memory sake when I was a poor college kid. Hahaha thanks for sharing subbed.
My grandson absolutely loves boxes Mac n' Cheese could you make this in a 3 quart instant pot 😊 love all of your shows 💕 You do such an Amazing 💕Natural job ❣️and you're So friendly 😍
Just made it and it’s perfect 🤩 than you so much. I love mac n cheese and so does my toddler. I don’t have time to watch water boil 😂
Thanks don’t have a stove or burner so I appreciate it
a i staple and mini airfaryer is amazing for my tiny home
Have you tried the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Deluxe? We’ve done the normal Kraft macaroni and cheese fine but have a few deluxe boxes.
So if making 2 boxes do so double water to 3 cups?
Greetings from North Pole Alaska 🙋♀️😍
Hey neighbor ! Also from NP.. gotta love all this snow right! ? Stay safe out there :)
@@sassyassalaska2514 Yes :) lots of snow! ❄❄❄
good
Will this work with KD spirals? I find the spirals seem to cook faster than the regular ones.🙄
Just came here from 'Creator on the rise' email I received from RUclips. WELL DONE and a massive congrats! Looking forward to watching more of your videos :)
Omg where was this video when i tried it last week and failed
its a very good channel for food lover..hug
Super
I went to my cupboard to grab a box for dinner and all I have is the kind where cauliflower is added to the pasta. Gonna try it at the same times and hope it works out.
Привет, Лиза! Меня зовут Маша Маковецкая, я из города Омск, из России! Мои дети тоже очень любят макароны. И я готовлю им разные блюда из макарон. Я тоже люблю готовить блюда в мультиварке, однако, макароны так еще не готовила. Спасибо за рецепт! Обязательно попробую! (Hi Liza! My name is Masha Makovetskaya, I am from the city of Omsk, from Russia! My children also love pasta. And I cook them different pasta dishes. I also love to cook in a slow cooker, however, I haven’t cooked pasta like that yet. Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely try it!)
Hello, Lisa. My Son gave me the Instant Pot Duo Crisp 11-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker with Air Fryer Lid, 6 Quart, my for Christmas and Birthday present. It does not have the manual settings and the easy-release switch works differently. How do I use my settings to make this?
Dear Lisa, thanks for sharing your meals with us. i have one problem. Yesterday my new Instant Pot (Austria) arrived via Amazon. On my Version i dont have the button manuel, i have there the button delay start. and where u have the button adjust, i have the button keep warm. Can u tell me, how i can create this recipes with my version? thanks a lot.
Another really good mix in for Kraft macaroni and cheese...extra cheesy, add cheddar cheese soup...found eith condensed soups like cream of chicken...
Most excellent! Now I have yet another excuse to indulge in my childhood favorite mac & cheese!! I'll have to try this method but I'll definitely be doubling the amount. Not all for me, of course. Maybe. 😁
I dont know why you would get hate mail about it. I have 5 kids so the fastest way to cook anything is a big lift off my shoulders. Thank you for sharing. I subscribed to your page I like how you explain and show everything. Thank you very much. Ignore rude people and keep making your videos 😀....ps my oven is broke so I am learning how to make everything in my instant pot haha..I guess I will learn from you and your other videos.
So you don’t add more liquid if you increase the water?
is heavy cream the same as heavy whipping cream?
I prefer to cook in either a metal, oven safe glass like Pyrex or crockery container inside the inner stainless steel pot whenever possible ...can you recommend the best brand and max size of either type to buy that will comfortably fit in a six quart IP...for Mac and cheese, etc...also l have seen that you can make cookies and desserts like cheesecakes in
Mason jars...what is your opinion on that !
how much water for the 1.5 box size
Ok so I am new to instant pot but I have had no problems cooking most food and have constantly been using it for everything for a few months but I need advice or told how to fix my problems or what I am doing wrong. 1. When I cook 1 box mac and cheese Like u said I have no problems but when I cook 2 boxes I double the water like u said and it is not just steam it is like a steam fountain with splurging liquid everywhere around and down the instant pot every time I cook 2 boxes....what am I do wrong? I have no choice I have 5 kids I need 2 boxes and if my husband is home I need 3 which I have not even tried since I'm scared of the liquid..I really need help fixing my issue.
Also I need advise on noodles every time I try to cook spagetti noodles my pot does not seal and the noodles never come out soft even though I did everything like in videos and times and made sure my lid is put together correctly...I dont know what I am doing wrong. I did put it on sealing so why doesn't it seal?... I feel like a failure with instant pot haha
I need full recipr
I picked up a IP-Duo 6qt version 3 i think, but my buttons don't have a manual button! I've got slow cook, sauté, pressure level, delay start, keep warm, cancel, yogurt and pressure cook. Which buttons should I be pressing?
I would think of those choices, I would use Pressure cook. Then change the time to the recipe.
I have the 6qt and mines doesnt say manual
Every time I make my I never use butter. But good tip as I may actually have to get one.
I love homemade Mac n cheese... But I was obsessed with box because there's something about the powdered cheese! It's so cheesy & tangy.
I tried it homemade ONCE, too! Just wasn’t the same without the powdered cheese. I always add cheddar to my box but without the powder the cheese just didn’t want to melt right...
not what i was looking for, but I'll have to try it when the instapot isn't in use. I don't like the steam from the water gettng in my face...
also tip; add cheese to the top of it after u mix it, thats what we do and it's so good
At this time I don't have oven top. How many boxes of mac did you go thru to get the right amount of water😆
1 box: 1.5 cups h20
Cook high pressure 3 minutes
So do I wait for it to say L 03 then release or release at L 0
Wait 3 minutes after pressure cooking so L003! :)
Gotcha, It was a silly question. We tried it out and it was great. We didnt have milk but it still came out great. We added shredded cheese to it as well. Yumm@@Lisa.Childs
What if you add everything to the pot before the cook? Butter, milk, cheese mix and water? This isn’t a “hands free” method if you still have to go through all the normal steps of making max n cheese. Just a thought.
The most frustrating part is that the IP model you're using isn't anything like the one that I have which is a Duo Nova, a later model. Every time I try to use one of your recipes, I end up with the food burn warning and a big mess to clean up along with wasted food thrown away. ☹
I'm new to the IP, but I've been using stove top pressure cookers for 30+ years so it's not a new concept to me.
I think I'll just sell mine and go back to using regular pressure cookers. They just work better.
Hello
This helps me save filtered water.
so you say don't change the cup 1/2 of water, but you said if we use a second box we should double everything...so everything except the 1 1/2 cups of water?
I was confused about it to I tried putting a bit more water but ended up with soup. So I really dont know what to do

LONG STORY, SHORT: IP Steps @ TWO Boxes M&C 1.) 2 TBSP butter; 2.) THREE cups water; 3.) TWO bxs M&C, stir; Close lid; 4.) Cook @ High Pressure for 3 mins.,(Yes, THREE mins.); 5.) IMMEDIATE 'Fast release"; 6.) Immediately open lid to stir in cheese packets' stuff + heavy creme, Stir, Stir, Stir = Love. (Add more butter/creme, if necessary, per desired consistency.)
Important IP-user note: Add 1 tsp butter/oil BEFORE closing the IP lid; otherwise, because of the usual starch-release per noodles' cooking process, your IP may experience its own 'GI' experience, that is, boiling starch-water angrily exploding through the IP valve upon opening it. (The addition of Fat lessens / prevents this.)
