| Episode # | Item | Rating | Scale | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Chef Boyardee Macaroni and Cheese Microcup | 0.7 | Colanders | - | Didn't heat properly and a distinctly subpar taste. (Originally scored 0.35 out of 5) |
| 7 | Kraft Cheesy Made Easy Triple Cheese (microwaved) | 2 | Colanders | - | Not so much mac-n-cheese as cheese soup, not as good as standard Kraft. Did *not* thicken. (Originally scored 1 out of 5) |
| 7 | Annie's Macaroni and Cheese | 6 | Colanders | - | Lacks umami, but still decent. Similar to the standard Kraft. (Originally scored 3 out of 5) |

| 7 | Boston Market Macaroni and Cheese. | 10 | Colanders | - | A little expensive - $2.99 for a small box. Quite cheesy. The best of the batch. (Originally scored 5 out of 5) |
| 7 | Tasty Bite All Natural Vegetarian Bombay Potatoes | Not rated | Colanders | - | Good over rice, on par with cheap Indian buffet. Vegan. |
| 7 | Mrs. T's Potato and Four Cheese Blend Pierogies | Not rated | Colanders | - | Not terribly expensive, better and less greasy than the Cheemo pierogies |
| 7 | Pork Roast Florentine from Trader Joe's | Not rated | Colanders | - | Fiddly to make/high PITA factor, tastes decent |
