Mac-N-Cheese

How are you currently serving it, how much product do you prep at a time ?

OK, off the wall idea from a non-restauranteur. When I have left over M&C, I cut it onto 2 inch cubes and deep fry it for about 3 minutes until it is a little crisp and brown on the outside. Gets rave reviews with the family Totally different side dish!

Does that come with a Cardiology Consult?

It's always the little things isn't it.

I like Joe's idea, if you can, of frying the leftovers as a good way to repurpose.

We served enough in our restaurant that we made new every day. When I first got there they were using a pre-made, frozen product (and it tasted like it). I showed them that including labor costs, we could be that by 1/2.

I like the idea of making to order but the issue is time. Without a microwave you'll have to heat to order and that would take time. Time to cook the pasta and then add the sauce and then cook.

It's really a couple of questions.

Who's your target audience, kids or adults. Makes a different on the version. For adults a few more ingredients and they've wait for cooked to order. Kids want it now.

My favorite mac n cheese was at a bbq joint here in town. Good stuff but the kicker was a cheese it crumbled topping. Probably used a microwave but it was awesome. The Q was good too! Oh and they use a cookshack. Took a tour of the kitchen and spotted it. It was a huge electric. Not sure what model.

had a restaurant for 5 yrs. starting doing mac & cheese but stated drying out during the day. finally took it off the menu. later figured out that using a micro wave container ( 8 oz ) we would make up the mac & cheese then put it in containers and top it off with cheese. store them in the frig add just a little milk and micro for 100 sec. depending on how many you do at one time.to this day people keep cuming up to and talk about my mac& cheese. best of all no waste
