Required Kitchen Tools

When making mac and cheese the Darius Cooks way, having the right tools makes the process smoother and ensures that silky, cheesy texture.
  1. Large Stockpot – For boiling the pasta to al dente perfection.
  2. Medium Saucepan – To prepare the creamy cheese sauce.
  3. Whisk – Essential for blending the flour, butter, and milk into a smooth base.
  4. Cheese Grater – Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded varieties.
  5. Baking Dish – A 9x13-inch dish works perfectly for even baking.
  6. Oven Mitts – Safety first,  especially when transferring that bubbling, cheesy goodness from oven to table.
