Mac n Cheese Made Easy – a Steam Microwave recipe:

Panasonic CS-894 Mac & Cheese 6
Mac and cheese is ubiquitous these days and this comfort food classic has become a mainstay on the menu of a huge range of restaurants. But making it at home can be quite a faff as it involves a couple of hobs, an oven and a grill.But the results with the Panasonic CS-894 steam microwave exceeded my expectations by a long way, with a crisp top, a thick cheesy sauce and perfectly cooked pasta. My guests tucked in and devoured it-it’s great with a green salad and if you fancy it you can put some sliced tomato on top near the end of the cooking process for a bit of excitement.

With the amazing Panasonic CS-894 steam microwave Mac & Cheese becomes a one device meal and if you don’t have a cooker at home the multi-functionality of the CS-894 really is a godsend, allowing all sorts of recipe choices that wouldn’t otherwise be available.

I have really enjoyed exploring the possibilities offered by the Panasonic CS-894 steam microwave. It’s a beautifully designed and built device that not only looks very sexy but is very straightforward to use.

The four basic functions-steam, grill, oven and microwave- all work really well and the multi-function aspect makes this a machine that really can replace a cooker in your home. I’ve been really surprised by the possibilities and how it opens up healthier ways of cooking with less fat. Now if the clever people at Panasonic could only make one that would mix cocktails too…

    I had my own version of this last night minus the onion – the steam microwave is an interesting option.
