Kraft Fresh Take Cheese Breadcrumb Mix in Rosemary & Roasted Garlic Review




Have you ever found a product that sounded like such an amazing idea in every way possible, until you try it? I had that happen to me recently. I have always been a fan of products like shake and bake, and bisquick breading. So when i found Kraft Fresh Take Cheese and Breadcrumb Mix i had to try it!

When you first open the package you see it is one large zip lock type bag that has a divider for the cheese and the bread crumbs. There is a warning that this product should not be consumed until cooked. That raised some red flags. It is just bread crumbs and cheese! I read on to see that this product can be used on fish, pork or chicken which gives it a nice variety. I used thin cut chicken cutlets.

This product is simple to use, simply combine ingredients by breaking the divide between the bread crumbs and cheese, shake, wet meat, and add one at a time. Shake the meat up in the bag and add to lightly greased and lined baking sheet. The first thing that i notices about this product is how much it smelled like cat food.

After i finished shaking all the meet up, i sprinkled the remainder on to the meat and baked. They came out nice and crispy, and well cooked. The bottom was soggy but it wasn't anything to complain about. As they were cooking the scent of cat food or animal feed became more apparent and stronger. Soon my whole house smelled like a veterinary office. I was so off put by this.

When i served the food none of my family members wanted to eat it, even my young son kept pushing this away. I have never experienced this kind of quality from Kraft and quite frankly i am stunned. I do not recommend this product to anyone
