A Better Way to Cook Ramen
I really like Ramen. It is good, well spiced and basically cheap soup. But normally it requires you to boil water and I hate boiling water. This cooker though is what you need to cook the ramen in the microwave. That makes the process fast and allows you to fix it the way you like. Clean up is super fast because the 3 pieces are plastic. The base is basically a small pot with a handle. Into that you put the strainer and break up your ramen brick into small pieces. Fill the pot with water to the line in the strainer, sprinkle the ramen spices into the pot, put the lid on and put it in the microwave. You can use the suggested cooking time but everyone has their own preference for pasta. So the first time you cook, set the timer to the low range and when it stops, take it out and taste the noodle. If it needs more cooking, cook it some more but keep track of the total time so that the next time you’ll know the time you should use at the beginning. The ingenious part of this cooker is that the lid is actually a bowl so put the bowl on the table, take out the strainer of perfectly cooked noodles and put them into the bowl. Next, pour the spiced broth from the pan over the noodles and enjoy soup. But sometimes I want just the seasoned pasta and you can do that too. Just don’t put the seasoning in the pot for cooking. Merely put the ramen in the strainer, add water and cook it. At the end, put the unseasoned noodles in the bowl or on a plate and sprinkle a SMALL amount of the seasoning over the ramen. I used the full packet but that was basically way too spicy. But now that I think about it, the ramen was distinctly spicy and I might do it again. For the rest of you normal people though, treat it as you do salt and pepper. Just season to taste. Since I got this cooker, my case of ramen packets has begun to disappear. I have a quick way to make soup or pasta and I don’t have to stand around watching a pot boil. The microwave tells me it’s done.

recommend
smaller than expected so it overflows if water boils for too long in the microwave. very hot so can’t take out with bare hands. but gets the job done. plastic ware also doesn’t stain or at least hasn’t yet for me and i’ve used it at least 3 times for spicy/cheesy ramen

Does what it needs to do
Bought two of these and they work great. The only issue is when your pulling them out of the microwave the handle does flex so your hand does touch the bowl and it’s hot. That’s the only downside so far. I’ve bought two more to have at the house.

Ramen bowl
Not what I wanted or expected. The bowl is a little small for a packet of ramen but the strainer and larger cooking bowl work well. I would get it again if I can’t find bigger ones.
