Instructions say nothing about straining noodles. It sounds like your microwave doesn't cook as well as their microwave. Next time put in for a little longer, or use a little less water. I used to have to do this, too. I think I just used a little less water. No biggie.

How can you screw up Kraft Easy Mac?? :D

That stuff is pretty good actually but yeah, it takes a few minutes after nuking for the pasta to absorb all the water. And as someone else stated, you don't add the powder until that happens.

Yuck. That's not macaroni and cheese. That's some sort of evil salty yellow goo. (I only eat that Easy Mac crap when I'm craving evil salty yellow goo. :laugh: )

Cook it on a stove top. Just use macaroni and real cheese. None of that box crap is worth the effort.

Easy Mac tastes like garbage. Spend the 10 minutes to make it out of the blue box.

Only the real thing is good. Just go look at the 20 boxes of kraft under the kitchen table. Oh wait, we gave those away.

I make good macaroni and cheese. The REAL stuff, too, not the instant stuff.

Learn to cook real food. It's better for you and it tastes better.
