Q: Microwave? Oven? Ridiculous that it is not described how to heat. Not everyone has a microwave.
submitted by Nope - 3 months ago
A: Hi there! We're really sorry to hear that you had a frustrating experience with our product — that’s never what we want for our customers. Just to share a quick tip: for the Panera Mac & Cheese 16 oz, we do include heating instructions for both the microwave and the stovetop. We know not everyone has the same kitchen setup, so we try to offer options that work for different situations. This particular product comes in a bowl-with-sleeve style, and you can find the instructions on the bottom of the package, just under the nutrition facts. I have also included the heating instructions below, I hope this helps Microwave: Remove lid and film. Place cup on microwave-safe plate, cover loosely. Heat on high 3-4 minutes (times may vary) until hot (165° F), stir halfway through. Let stand 1 minute in microwave. Carefully remove by the plate. Caution! Product & container will be very hot. Stove Top: Remove lid and film. Pour mac & cheese into saucepan. Heat thoroughly (165° F). Do not boil.

taste is good
I was mistaken because of the price I thought this was the 4 pack of cups but no it’s just 1 bigger bowl of it and it’s $7 too expensive no matter how good it is.

Just go to Panera
Trust your gut, don't buy this! Just leave it right there on that refrigerated shelf and talk your self on over to Panera Bread. This stuff tasted like frozen, stale, cardboard. Took one bite and immediately placed it in the trash.

Please reach out to our Customer Care Team at customercare@blountfinefoods.com. Please use reference number 1095190. We would love for you to try our product again or one of the other flavors we offer at your local grocery store.

Tastes like... plastic?
I’m not picky with food and I’ll eat whatever you put in front of me for the most part, but this was pretty bad. I genuinely have no idea what happened here. The consistency of the sauce and the pasta was fine but it had a really peculiar smell and taste to it, like melted plastic or windex or something. I could only get through about half of it before the taste got to me and I had to toss it out, I even double checked to make sure it wasn’t the actual container melting into the product when it got hot or anything. What a letdown! I’m embarrassed to have paid $7.99 for this.

Creamy & cheesy
I’ve been craving this Mac and cheese for awhile now and it was the perfect comfort food I needed for a chilly night. Bonus that you don’t have to do anything other than microwave it. Creamy and cheesy!

Delicious, quick and generous serving!
This Mac n cheese was so tasty! I love how quick, easy and delicious it was. The serving is large enough to share with my family. The price is higher than most other brands, but it’s worth it for the quality and convenience!
