Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased the Easy Mac 18 individual packs, not the bowls. This is the perfect size for a side item. I am using a home microwave of 1100 watts to heat up this product in a medium size bowl. The package instructions say to use 2/3 cup of water, and heat for 3 1/2 minutes. Two minutes with an average home microwave of 1100 watts is plenty. Unless you use a large bowl you will need to watch for the water to keep it from bowling over in the microwave. I find that at the 1:45 mark I need to stop the process and stir. I then continue to heat, but watching as I will need to stop again prior to completion. My first attempt I followed the instructions of 3 12 minutes, and I did not monitor. Water had boiled over, and there was no water left in the container to dissolve the cheese mixture. 2 minutes seems to be the perfect time; noodles are tender, and there is plenty of water to dissolve the cheese and thicken up the mixture.
