Avoiding dry spots in mac and cheese
💡 Method reminders
- •Store mac and cheese in shallow portions so reheating stays even the next day.
- •Use the method that matches the texture you want back from mac and cheese.
- •Stop reheating as soon as the center is hot so mac and cheese does not dry out.
❌ Common misses for this method
- •Very high heat from the start if mac and cheese is dense or sauce-heavy
- •Overcrowded pans or baskets that trap steam around mac and cheese
- •Repeated reheats of the same portion
