Method

Combine cheeses, milk, water, pasta and seasoning in Combi Pan.
Our tip Stir well and push the macaroni down under the milk; any pieces poking out turn hard and crunchy in the dry heat of Bake.
Select BAKE, 200°C390°F, ; unit preheats . When ready, slide pan into Level 1.
Mix butter and panko.
After baking, stir mac & cheese and top with panko mixture.
Our tip Bite a piece of macaroni before the topping goes on: it should be tender, and if it's still chalky, bake it a little longer. The sauce looks loose now but thickens as it stands.
GRILLBROIL . Cool at least before serving.
