So to make mac 'n cheese, would I just use around 1/4 cup (like the envelope) with the cooked noodles, butter &amp; milk like I was making mac from a box?

Yes it's a little stronger than the box cheese in taste so just start with a little until you like the taste

My girlfriend prefers a tablespoon or two, which seems about like a box of Kraft in terms of intensity. I go with a quarter cup or a little more, personally -- I like it cheesy.

FYI, I first bought Cadbury's many years ago, and they used to say the following in their microwave instructions: mix the powder in a mug with a small amount of milk until it forms a paste, then add the rest of the milk and stir. This is the easiest way to get that powder incorporated with the milk. Delicious!

I use 1 and 1/4 Teaspoons but remember you must be sure to bring your milk to almost simmer and then let cool to room temp. Heat will kill your starter I also have a yogurt maker and set it for 9 hrs.

I also made cheesecakes in mine. I have a recipe that fills a 9" pan. Using 1/4 of the ingredients gave me enough to make 2 of this size.

The Marcato 150 comes with a dual sided attachment for making Fettuccini or Spaghetti. There are other attachments available for Linguini, Vermicelli, (Thin Spaghetti), Cappelinni (Angel Hair). You can also make Lasagna or Ravioli. How long your noodles are is up to you. When you "roll out" the dough through the rollers, you start at 0 (rollers wide apart), then dial up the numbers until you get the thiness you need. The dough will get longer as you roll it out, so just cut the dough to the length you'd like. For Spaghetti or Fettuccini, I usually go to "7", skipping every other number. I have no problem keeping the rollers clean. The key to making great pasta is a dry dough; elastic, but not wet or sticky. You just lightly brush off the rollers, because the dough will not stick. If it does, let the dough dry, then it will brush off easily. Easy recipe for pasta dough: 2 cups Semolina flour 2 cups All Purpose flour 6 eggs 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil pinch of salt I let my bread machine do the work, but you can knead it.....the important thing is to wrap the dough in plastic, and let it rest for 30 minutes. Depending upon humidity, you may need to add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Fresh pasta is WAY better than boxed, IMHO. I'm never quite sure what people mean by "macaroni", but if you mean a short, hollow noodle, this machine will not do that.

Hmmm, I don't know how well that would work. Whether you heat in a toaster or nuke it, it would likely get either steamy and wet or just cool off. With this one, the key seems to be to fill it completely. Oatmeal, soup, stew all do really well. Pasta stays warm, but not as warm. Even without first heating the thermos by pouring in boiling hot water and then pouring it out just before adding your heated food. I haven't tried pizza, but judging from how pasta or mac n cheese don't stay as hot as a soup, stew or oatmeal, I'd say pizza might be more appealing cold or toasted in the morning and then eaten for lunch at room temp. If you try it, I'd love to know how pizza does. :) Hmmm, I don't know how well that would work. Whether you heat in a toaster or nuke it, it would likely get either steamy and wet or just cool off.

I bought mine from the woman who designed it and had it commissioned. She said it wasn't built with those cheeses in mind, but you could keep it hand tight by every hour or so just going in and turning the knob hand tight. If you use a tool, like a wrench, you can pull the press apart. As tight as an average person can turn it is sufficient to knot the warm curd together for a cheddar style cheese.

Yes you can. Pour milk in whatever size container you want to use and then add starter after hearing it up on stove. I would make as much as I could as I eat it with fruit and cook with it too.

I can't remember. I just bought the mac and cheese and they came seperately (one instruction sheet), but you could copy it and add it to the other one. You could do that with the ramen one also. My grandkids love these and my son said the ramen tastes better. I love it cause it's fast for making grandkiddos food!

I put about 1/3 cup. I also read thru the responses and add a few shakes of salt. When you put the stick of butter in, make sure it soft and pack it in.

I use about 1/4 cup for a one pound loaf. Actually, it says on the can to use a certain percentage of the weight, but I don't have a kitchen scale, so I just use 1/4 cup. That would be 1/2 cup for you. Let us know how your bread turns out.

I haven't tried to do that yet, but I'm not sure how it would work out. I think the yolk would probably explode rather than 'set'. But, I have made Egg McMuffin style sandwiches with it using English muffins and it does that really well.

That's all I've used since I got the thing for Christmas. Just make sure you get the unit hot before pouring in the eggs, and don't go crazy with the amounts. Just use the equivalent of one egg. For Egg Beaters that's 1/4 cup.

I would imagine you would use like a Fox's Ubet syrup. Milk, coffee, in the blender. Not sure tho, sorry.

My husband gets a box of elbow macaroni with one of those packets of powdered cheese sauce. There is 6 oz. of macaroni in it and I am able to cook up the entire box. I fill up the unit to the Max. level (1 litre) with cold tap water and it takes just a shade under 4 minutes to boil.

In the microwave? I suppose so. I put leftover soup or spaghetti in a small one to reheat for lunch. Personally I prefer to make the soup on a stove top so the flavors have more time to blend, but if you were making something simple, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
