• Microwave Timing Conversion Charts. As you learned in the Timing section, the amount of time you cook food in your microwave is of critical importance. With microwave cooking, the trick is to learn to cook by time not sight. Many people become frustrated when attempting to cook in the microwave because they do not realize that most recipes for microwave ovens are written for the 700-watt oven.
• Once you get a taste of homemade, made from scratch mac and cheese, it’s hard to go back to enjoying Easy Mac. But, surprisingly, you can make a great-tasting homemade Microwave Mac and Cheese in just a few minutes, even if you don’t think you can cook.
• Stir in the cheese and broccoli and microwave for 30 seconds or until creamy. Serve the macaroni and cheese on the plate or into a bowl (I used a bread bowl) and top with optional red pepper flakes or desired toppings. Note: Use a deeper and larger bowl to cook Mac and Cheese in the microwave as it will rise when cooked.

While single-serve microwaveable bowls of macaroni and cheese are ready within minutes, these single-serve options don't work well for family dinners. Products like boxed Kraft Macaroni & Cheese dinners, which include the pasta and packets of powdered or liquid cheese, can also be cooked in the microwave. As with stovetop mac and cheese, the microwaved versions can be served traditionally, or with a bit of tweaking to make these meals your own.

Cook Pasta

The pasta provided in Kraft Macaroni & Cheese packages cooks in about 12 minutes in the microwave on high, stirring every 5 minutes. Use a 2-quart bowl or casserole dish to hold the noodles and the water, and leave it uncovered while it cooks. To save the step of draining the noodles after they've cooked, the manufacturer suggests using 1 3/4 cups water for the standard-size package. If you're using family style or another larger Kraft Macaroni & Cheese product, check package instructions so that you add just enough water to be absorbed by the macaroni.

Cheese It Up

Once the pasta has cooked, remove the bowl from the microwave. At this point you can add the cheese packet, as well as a few generous spoonfuls of butter or margarine, and a roughly equal amount of milk. Stir these ingredients into the pasta , so that the ingredients are well combined.

Special Touches

Adding additional ingredients to your macaroni and cheese can enhance the flavor profile of your meal. A spoonful of Dijon mustard undercuts the blandness some people dislike in a basic pasta cheese sauce. You can also replace the margarine with cream cheese, for extra creaminess, or olive oil, for a bit of sophistication. To amp up the cheesiness, supplement or replace the included Kraft cheese packet with other cheeses. Freshly grated Parmesan adds refinement, but you can introduce other flavor notes with feta, bleu or crumbled cheddar cheeses. Final touches include chopped fresh herbs, red pepper flakes or a pre-mixed blend of dried herbs.

Make It a Meal

A few extra ingredients -- and time in the microwave -- allow you to use the prepared macaroni and cheese as a building block for fuller meals. Kraft recommends adding 'pizza' ingredients like pepperoni, pizza sauce, chopped green peppers and shredded mozzarella. Or you might opt to cook up some frozen broccoli or peas in the microwave after the pasta is done, then combine these vegetables with canned tuna, a bit of sour cream and the prepared macaroni and cheese. For a Mexican twist, toss canned beans, salsa and shredded pepper jack cheese into the prepared macaroni and cheese. In general, it's best to give these meals an additional 3 minutes or so in the microwave.

As you learned in the Timing section, the amount of time you cook food in your microwave is of critical importance. With microwave cooking, the trick is to learn to cook by time not sight. Many people become frustrated when attempting to cook in the microwave because they do not realize that most recipes for microwave ovens are written for the 700-watt oven (the industry standard). However, you may have a different wattage oven than a 700-watt. What do you do?

The answer is easy. Just use our convenient charts that convert cooking times from a 700-watt oven to your wattage oven:

Please understand that other factors other than oven wattage may play a roll in the amount of time you need to microwave food for a particular recipe in your microwave oven. For instance, the cubic size of your microwave may factor into the equation. These charts are meant to give you a good starting point for determining correct times. You may need to adjust times further when perfecting a recipe. Be sure to write the times that work for you on the recipe so you will know what works in your oven in the future.
