Episode 96: Mac Cheese Frodown Part 4: Amy’s Organic

13 May, 2009

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

Mac Cheese Week at Freezerburns continues with the fourth installment of the epic Mac Cheese Frodown. Today’s contender is Amy’s Organic Macaroni and Cheese. Amy’s meals are definitely an acquired tatse and some have even gone as far as to say they are either really really good or really really bad. So if that polarizing effect applies to Amy’s Mac Cheese, which one will it be?

I hope you get on the Food Network Greg. I think you will.

@tod: Yeah, I was surprised about the affordability of this Amy's dish too.

@skye: I must admit, I needed to look up "Tureen". Seems to be correct.

@Bear: You can never go wrong with black pepper

@Meg: I think you are right about the paper packaging making it get crusty.

@Todd: MMMm Lasagna. I may need to get some to review this weekend.

@Jim: as always, thanks. Its good to see you guys are liking what I'm putting out. It makes it all worth while!

Jim

Greg puts a lot of effort into these episodes. Doing what he does is not as easy as it looks. I`m sure Chris Hadley would attest to that.

Todd

@ Bear, yeah i do like some crispiness on stuff like that, especially on Au Gratin potatoes and lasagna too :-)

Jim

Freezerburns/Greg Rocks!

Meg

I'll HAVE to try it now, I'm intrigued. Could it be the whole wheat pasta is giving it the unique flavor? Maybe it's the type of cheddar, like extra sharp? Anyway, a side comment. I've noticed that all of AMY's have that "crust" in the corners. I think it's related to the paper container as opposed to plastic.
Bear, a rameken is round and has the flutes up the sides. I think crock is a round, deep tub w/o handles.

Bear Silber

Very interesting....not quite what I had imagined it would turn out as. Nice reiveiw.

It may in fact be a tureen as Skye points out. Were you thinking of a rameken?

I personally love my Mac Cheese crusty/crispy...same goes for the Au Gratin potatoes! Also, a little kosher salt on top and fresh crushed black pepper!!!! Mmmmmm.

Skye

It looks to be a tureen.

Tod

"smooth" reference was funny
"orangetastic" funny as well
"like someone cut the cheese" lol lol
I can't wait to see the conclusion and results tommorrow!

I am suprised it was only 2 dollars I always thought Amy's brand cost more since it is all organic.
