Hello folks, just thought I’d pop this here after seeing a few people saying they don’t like the new M&C because it’s too watery.
As far as I can tell, the “old” M&C needed around 130-150ml (150g) water per 50g dry ingredients.
However, on the new M&C - and spag carbonara, and pasta bol - the instructions now say to only add 100ml (100g) water per 50g dry ingredients.
So next time you mix some up, it may be worth grabbing some scales if you have some to double-check your ratios.
The new lower water requirement does also mean a bit of extra stirring and post-heating standing time makes for a better-cooked meal with no hard pasta bits.
