Rapid Ramen Cooker Microwavable Cookware for Instant Ramen BPA Free and Dishwasher Safe Perfect for Dorm Small Kitchen

How do you review this? At a high level, it works as advertised. You buy this not because the material is some special ramen cooking material, you're literally buying this because, like me, you didn't have a bowl that fit the shape of cheap Maruchan or Nissin ramen bags and you're tired of throwing away styrofoam ramen cups. Like I said, with so many factors like personal ramen noodle preferences, all the microwaves out there cooking at various levels, at the end of the day, it works as advertised. You can take any normal sized bag of cheap ramen, toss it into the microwave, and get some good ramen. And those little handles let you take it out without burning your fingers. This is why I'm giving it 5 stars. If I was a picky reviewer, and factoring in how I like my ramen, I'd give it 4-stars but that doesn't seem fair. But, why would you do that you ask? Well, after several tests, I've found the water fill line isn't quite enough water, at least for the ramen I like. The few times I've filled it up to the line, when the noodles are done absorbing the water/broth, for me, there isn't enough and the noodles start drying out. For perfect ramen (at least, in my view) with this, put in the seasoning first so its on the bottom of the container (if you put it on top, it doesn't get mixed into the water enough and sits on the noodles). This ensures all the seasoning gets submerged in the water and mixed in. If you put it on top of the noodles, it can get really salty. Then, place your noodle block on top of the seasoning and pour any broken pieces on top. Next, first fill it up to the line. Wait a few seconds while the water makes its way through the dried noodles. When it dips a little below the line, fill it up just a little over the line. Finally, put it in the microwave for 3:20-3:30 seconds. It says 3-4 minutes. I found right in the middle is the sweet spot with my 1000W, 15 year old microwave, to get the water boiling enough but not scolding hot I get at 4 minutes. Anyway, no more styrofoam guilt, and my ramen finally fits in the bowl. Read more

I bought the Rapid Ramen Cooker as a wedding gift for my friend’s husband, and it was a perfect choice! He absolutely loves ramen, and this makes it quick and easy to prepare right in the microwave. The polypropylene material feels sturdy and safe, and it cooks the noodles perfectly every time. It’s simple to use, easy to clean, and surprisingly convenient. Such a fun, practical gift, especially for a ramen lover. Highly recommend! Read more

Cooks the ramen in the microwave perfectly every time! Fits one package of ramen and has a line for the water measurement. Brilliant for everyone to easily make ramen noodles. Keeps my kitchen clean! This is such a simple way to cook ramen. When my kids made ramen in a pan on the stove, they didn’t always clean the pan right away (I don’t want them to wash our pans in the dishwasher). But this is dishwasher safe and makes clean up easier. They put it right in the dishwasher! Might have even saved our relationship. Read more

These little cookers have been one of the best addition to our kitchen cookware. While some have thought it strange, our boys, 7 & 9, feel so much more independent knowing they can easily cook their own ramen instead of needing help all the time! (and, they do like eating ramen, a lot lol) Easy to clean and use, dishwasher safe. These get used to heat up other types of foods as well and even serve as snack bowls for things like goldfish, chips or candy, we've already bought more and will probably by another set of ramen cookers, or the mac n cheese ones very soon. Only one note to the negative; the handles can get a bit warm, even hot, if you put it on the longest suggested cook time, so make sure to check it out before just reaching in. Read more

They work like a charm and are easy for the kids to use Read more
