A wobbly light weight plastic container of boiling water with a hanging cord, what could possibly go wrong?

"I'm not a huge Mac N Cheese Fan"..... Well Emmy....I thought we had something, but it looks like we are just drifting apart.

"Not a mac and cheese fan" It's a good thing your content is adorable…

"not a huge mac and cheese fan" reported for hate speech.

i got so shook when you started brutalizing the mac and cheese boxes, because ive always just??? lifted the flaps on the top

3:03 Thank you. I am glad to know I'm not the only one who goes Norman Bates on packaging. 😁

I find it funny that you have such a diverse and accepting palate, but you're not a fan of one of the most universally loved snack foods. No shame or anything, I just think that's so interesting. I wish I could have as mature a palate as you.

Emmy has such a wonderful demeanor about her. I came across these videos in a very low point in my life and they really have been adding just a bit of hope and goodness every day. Sincerely, thank you, Emmy!

Woman Repeatedly Stabs Mac & Cheese Boxes in Vicious Double-Murder

Not surprised you don't like mac & cheese, if the boxed kind is all you've ever had. Made from scratch, with more than one kind of cheese & baked with a crispy topping, mac & cheese can be delicious. Add meat or seafood, and it's divine! Adding green veggie (broccoli or asparagus) makes a one-pot meal. Try it! ;-)

Emmy, you're great, but we're gonna have to talk about this you not liking mac-n-cheese business.

This may be a silly emotion/event to share, but watching this on a binge of your videos, I truly realized how incredible your presence is online. I've been following you since my father passed away (two years ago) and I just lost my mother a week ago, and I have found an immense amount of comfort in you and your videos. So much love for you and your family, and anyone (if anyone) reads this.

not sure how i feel about plastic being connected to the burner....

i saw this tested on another channel. you're not supposed to crank it when the pasta is cooking. only when mixing the sauce stuff. and there is s setting timed for pasta in the instructions to prevent the boil over

Whenever I've tried to open boxes from those supposedly perforated areas on the side it's always been incredibly difficult. I've learned to just ignore them and open from the top, like a normal box. Mmm...mac 'n cheese juice.

Not a Mac and cheese fan?! I'm so hurt!! I still love you though lol 🤣

3:04 i dont think I've ever seen this side of Emmy lol

“The lid is pretty hard to take off..” *takes it off with such ease* 😂😂 ( I’m talking about the first time btw😂)

Wonder what Emmy does with all these gadgets when she's done. I'd love to see a declutter/collection video!

And why do people cook in plastic, why

Emmy I don't think it's fair for the "pot maker" for timing because the lid is off while the Nation Mac N' Cheese maker had its lid on while boiling.

The title cracks me up. It's like saying: *cereal storage device* VS *A BOWL*

Watching this in bed with my son and he says to me " Oh, what's her name? She's preeetty". Lol!

"I don't press here. I just do this. Right?" *scene from a rejected horror movie ensues* Emmy, the dichotomy of utterly adorable and occasionally terrifying is why we love you.

I loved my hotpot when I drove an 18 wheeler longhaul over the road. I also had a tiny crockpot which I think was originally supposed to be a fragrance diffuser of some sort. I found it to be great for making a two serving, slow cooker pot of stew. My final must have was my rice cooker. I had almost it all covered with those three things.😁

That's it! What I loved about Emmy is that she give her very honest review about each and every of the products. Most KZfaqrs are just gonna give it positive reviews

I loved the bit where you murdered the blue box!

With what they say about plastic leaching harmful chemicals into drinking water from water bottles & advising they only be used once & thrown away. What on earth would they say about a multi use old piece of cheap tacky plastic you heat up & can smell while using. Metal pots and pans all the way.

The title should be “Mac and Cheese Box Durability Test” 😂

I listened to this right before bed and feel so zen. It`s like being on the phone with an old friend. Love you em! and now I want mac n cheese

I’m calling the cops for you stabbing that mac and cheese box lol

I feel like Emmy is going to raise the most well behaved children with a passion for life. Shes such a wholesome person

I think the mac and cheese maker is probably something college students would love. But, in regular households, WHY? Wait i can think of why, i had a lot of small appliances when i lived in a place with no stove, but, none were true unitaskers, but, i imagine you could make any pasta, rice and ramen in the mac and cheese nation. At least i would and saves on dishes to wash, it being plastic is not a great thing tho.

For a dorm room just get a Forman grill and a rice coocker (the cheap ones work just fine no need to get the the good ones) i lived with only those 2 for 5 years in my dorm and did absolutely fine, if u have any imagination or youtube there is almost nothing you cant cook to have a lovely meal. And hey if u get good at it and a few girls start to join you for diner, thats a bonus :)

mac and cheese maker would turn into a Romen maker for me.

I feel like the Mac and cheese makers would be gd for a college student

Alton Brown would HATE this!

I love mac and cheese of all types from boxed to homemade and everything in-between 🤤 If I'm making blue box, I always add 2 extra tablespoons of butter and I'll grate in some more cheese for extra gooey richness along with a teeny squirt of mustard for balance. 👍👍

"Why you would need one of these" I ask the exact same thing of rice cookers.

The mac and cheese maker could be useful in a place where there's electricity but no stove.

I hope everyone reading this has a g'night :)

Could have used that in college for my ramen...

As a Dutch person the whole cheese 'n mac thing is kinda lost on me, because I never had that...but this video made me aware that cooking things the old fashioned way is just as good as as doing it in those fancy objects :-D Thank you for this amazing video!!

Emmy, I bought the mac and cheese maker at a yard sale just yesterday afternoon. It's in almost-new condition and I got it for only twice what you paid (it was originally sold at CVS for $19.99). About 45 minutes ago, it hit me that I should look for a video review of it before attempting to use it and sure enough, this was at the top of the list! You're right about it being limited as to what you can cook in it (the instructions specifically tell you not to cook rice in it), but it has the potential to become an ubiquitous symbol of college dorm/bachelor pad life in America! With that thought in mind, SmartPlanet should also come out with the Ramen Noodle Nation ramen noodle maker! It would probably be the same thing, except with an off-white body and temperature dial, a red top and base and a different logo. Emmy, I've found that you can get the top off easiest by holding the body handle down with one hand and pulling up on the opened slot door with the other, although that's just when it's not running, so I'll have to find out when I try it out! I really enjoy your international MRE reviews. I have a Vietnam War surplus canteen, canteen cup and cup stovestand (they all nest together nicely inside the cover) plus a USGI mess kit. Have you ever thought about doing videos about field kitchens?

5:50 sounds like the opening of a Seinfeld episode.

The mac maker would be for dorms or small studios that might not have ovens/stoves or even a camper

I was all "What is this Savers place you keep speaking of" and then you showed the sticker and it clicked. Its Value Village up here in Canada (or VV Boutique if you want to class it up)

Just some helpful info on this device for anyone curious: It was developed for disabled people who are in wheelchairs and/or have a motor control disorder like Parkinson's or cerebral palsy. The reason it's more accessible than a stovetop pot is these reasons - It can be placed much lower down on a short table the right height for a wheelchair, it can be very difficult for people with disabilities to grip a spoon to stir so the crank handle allows for stirring. Metal pots filled with water are heavy and it can be very difficult with people with low grip strength or shakiness to lift the pot off the stove and bring it to the sink to drain without dropping it or spilling it on themselves. It can all be taken apart easily and put into a dishwasher for low effort cleanup. It can also make lots of other food besides mac & cheese

"Press here" is a lie!!!!! Lol

"I won't be tasting the mac n cheese" looks like YOU DID 😅🤣😂

Emmy, the box stabing method killed me.... lol!!! Great video♡

Maybe you’d like Mac and Cheese when it’s made with actual cheese and baked in the oven with breadcrumbs? Brb gonna make Mac and cheese

Yeah, I'm not sure why they make those types of devices out of plastic.

So weird because literally 2 hrs ago I made Mac and cheese and thought about how Emmy would describe the color of the cheese powder as “bright or neon orange”. Trippy!

Just on the appearance it looks reeeeally cheap lol. I was concerned until you showed what you paid. When I see something that looks plasticky shiny and brightly colored it looks like a kids' toy.

I love Emmy so much 😂 especially when she just started stabbing the box like it was nothing 😂

Emmy went savage on the box lol

emmy thank u for lulling me into a much needed depression nap while i skip class

Yey!! Mac cheese....my kids love it!I open the boxes the same way ...stab,stab,stab😉

I bet this would be great if you lived in a dorm or didn't have access to a stove top or microwave! I'm sure you could even scrap the lid apparatus and use it to make hot water for tea, coffee, or ramen with how fast it boils the water. Also my extra-creamy boxed mac and cheese secret is to stir up the cheese powder with the milk right as i put the noodles in the water, let it sit for a while and stir it every once in a while to let it fully dissolve into the milk, then add it to the buttered noodles at the end. I also like to add a slice of american cheese, or (ashamed to say) if I'm feeling extra naughty, two slices.

A Mac & cheese making machine that makes packet mac & cheese. Seems a waste. The idea of the packet is to make it simple anyway. I assumed from the title it'd make it from scratch.

I always make a roux. Drain the pasta in a strainer and set aside. Melt butter in the pot, stir in the powdered cheese on low heat until its incorporated and clumped together. Slowly stir the milk into the mixture until smooth and return the pasta back into the pot, stirring until well combined. The cheese is much creamier this way. (: Try it! You might even learn to love Kraft mac and cheese Emmy.

emmy make a bloopers compilation video!!! so funny

Induction coil cooking is used by many in college settings to get water boiling. I have a boiler that can be used for all manner of things, I use it for everything including noodles and water for soups and tea.

If Emmy made mac & cheese in a potty that would be epic but I wouldn’t eat it haha!

Other than the off gassing of plastic smell. I can see this being useful for college dorm, truck driver or some who travels and stays in hotels alot. No need for a strainer. And to wash it just put water and soap in it and turn it on. Most things you would cook the paddle wouldn't be in the way. For $30 list price it should be better quality. But if I can find one for my son who is a truck driver or had I known about this for my husband. Would have. I can see frying small amounts of ground meat in it for stews of even tacos on the road. With the lid no splatter. But I think it should be a higher quality and it would be a great item.

"I don't like mac and cheese" Well yeah you made Kraft

Those types of gadgets seem super silly when you have a full kitchen, but in college a pasta pot was one of the best things I had as freshman in college. We weren't allowed to have heating plates or open heating elements, but we could have pasta pots, electric kettles, etc. I tended to make ramen and spaghetti, though, because also didnt have a refrigerator for milk and butter. Lol.

7 minutes is too long... 5 and a half is better.. otherwise the pasta is mushy! and just a splash of milk and about a 1/3 of a cup of butter... to make it super cheesy... Comfort food at its best!

Oh man that mac and cheese maker would be really handy in a dorm! When I was in school we weren't allowed toaster ovens or burners and hot plates in the dorms because they all have open areas that get really hot and were considered a fire hazard. With this it looks like everything that gets hot (minus the pot) is covered so I wonder if it'd be allowed.

Thirty bucks to make fake mac n' cheese? I agree, Emmy. Pass.

I love it. I had a similar pot called a Hot Pot Express, just didn't have the slotted lid with the spatula crank, wasn't specifically for mac n cheese, it cost me $11 brand new. i would make ramen, canned soups, rice, tea, hot dogs.... really anything that could be boiled. I even managed to make a simple red beans and rice in it. I wish my pot had had a slotted lid with a spatula crank. At the time lived with my ex in a house that his parents owned and rented rooms in. We had the master bedroom with a huge bathroom (long bathroom counter, lots of room). I didn't like to go to the kitchen to make things if i could avoid it because the renters didn't take care of it, and I even once found a mouse hiding in the oven. It saved me from having to clean up after people and make my own meal only for them to destroy it in a matter of days. I also had a mini fridge, since they also would just take whatever was in the main fridge. Roommates can really suck sometimes. I now have a T-fal pot to boild hot water (ramen cup o noodles, tea, instant coffee and anything else that just requires hot water) to avoid carrying hot water up stairs and for whenever I get sick, and I generally use it daily. These types of pots have just improved my life so much.

*Potmaker* HAHAHAHAHA I love you Emmy

So relieved I found someone else that isn’t a Mac and cheese fan! Thank you for admitting it!

i can feel the nano-plastic in my lungs

U stole my heart when u said u don't like Mac and cheese.

I wonder how the plastic doesn't melt with the heating unit being right under it. also, I would totally take the nation Mac N Cheese if the water comes to a boil faster. hahaha I just saw you stab a box of mac n cheese😂😂😂😂

This would be somewhat convenient for those who live in a dorm room and I’m sure you can find other ways to use the Mac n cheese machine. When I was in the dorm room I used my Keurig as a source of very hot water instead of the microwave. It was more quicker and controlled in terms of temperature

I'm getting this for my son in college.

To be honest, if you want to get the water for pasta boiled quickly, you can use a kettle, and then transfer the water into a pot. It only takes about 3 minutes. I always use this method when I want to cook pasta, because waiting for the water to come to the boil in a pot takes soooo long. I don't think I've ever actually had mac and cheese, btw. Some of the home cooked versions (not the boxed ones) look really good, so I would like to try it at some point.

Can't believe you don't like mac and cheese. Do you like home made baked mac and cheese?

I’m thinking Emmy has never had real home made Mac n cheese... my auntie’s was to die for. Kraft is ok but homemade is the best.

“Im not a huge mac and cheese fan” Me neither 😂 I’ve never heard anyone else say that I’ve always been alone on that opinion

It’s just a Sunbeam kettle with a fancy lid. I love my Sunbeam kettle because it boils water so fast. But that’s all I use it for - heating water - because yeah, the washing issue.

She said "efficacy" a word not often used anymore in the English language.

This is for sure a college student item. Many dorms have very specific requirements for what cooking items you can have in your room. This reminds me of the “hot pot” or plastic electric kettles we are allowed when I was in school. We made a lot of ramen in ours...

Mmm...Mac 'n cheese juice :)

This would forsure be useful in a dorm situation. I would almost even suggest it being helpful with kids just learning to cook while avoiding the open flame (on a gas stove), however the heating element with the plastic unit seems to be a potential danger. This ones a flip/flop for me, but the fact that it worked at all was rather impressive.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't like mac & cheese

Hehe....! Emmy getting violent with that box! 😆 At the end of the day, old school metal pot for the win!

Perfect stoner gift! 👌😂

Actually, cutting up the butter will help it to melt down faster. I usually cut up the butter and put it in the measuring cup with the milk while the noodles are cooking. Also, you can always add spices to customize your mac and cheese to your liking.

Emmy: "I don't like mac-n-cheese." Also Emmy: *making Kraft, the grossest mac-n-cheese*

Handy tip. Save the milk as the last ingredient added in. The way the package directs, cools down the cheese. Makes it liable to clumps, and powdery texture.... still it's a good show. I have a microwave square bowl. It's saving grace, it's a large ish bowl.

Emmy have you ever had baked mac and cheese? It beats the boxed stuff by miles.

One of my favorite cheat day meals is mac and cheese with cut up hot dogs. Or adding bacon bits is also really good. Fyi, adding the butter and stirring it in before adding the milk is a little easier to incorporate the cheese powder.

Wow ive watched her for years and this is the first time i hear her say she doesn't like something

You can probably use it to hard boil eggs or Cook quick pasta dishes for yourself or your kids for lunch. Has a built in strainer has to be useful for something other then Mac n cheese. Or it can be used to cook lentils or rice since there is a built in paddle.

mMMmMm.. mac n cheese juice x-9 (love your channel! )

This is completely random especially on a 2 year old video but I have that same spoon you use. Also I have the same silver colander you use sometimes that has the holes in the shape of stars. My mom had it my whole life and gave it to me when I moved out. Always makes me smile when I see you use the same one. Now I feel the same way about that spoon lol
