I tried making mac and cheese in 3 different appliances, and the tastiest dish honestly surprised me

Throughout the mac and cheese taste test, I kept the ingredients consistent to accurately measure results.

• I tested the same mac and cheese recipe on the stovetop, in the oven, and in the microwave.
• The stove, my go-to appliance, made the creamiest sauce, but the oven version had the best flavor.
• The microwave mac and cheese was significantly better than I expected, but still underwhelming.

I've been using the same mac-and-cheese recipe for almost two decades.
