best invention since ramen itself. It seems like you should just be able to do this in a bowl, but it does not work the same. I think is it the material. It is also shaped to perfectly accept your standard ramen brick, has a line for the appropriate amount of water (plus or minus for your preference) and the bowl stays cool when you remove it from the microwave.

For less than $10 each, these are definitely worth it.

Sturdy, easy to use, and just the right size for heating up all kinds of things in the microwave, including leftover pasta, tofu, rice, oatmeal, lasagna, soups...a lot of foods easily fit in this bowl and the serving size is just right. The material is like smooth super think plastic (so doesn't bend or chip or crack easily) and the bowl doesn't retain the heat after microwaving so it's safe for your hands to take the bowl out of the microwave. No warping or any weakening of the material noticed after using it 1-2x daily for months for a large variety of foods. Easy to wash, as the smoothness doesn't make too much stick to it. I started with 1, but ended up getting 2 more because of how often I was using it. And did I say again?...easy to wash!

I think I saw this on a YouTube video a couple of years ago and thought it was really stupid; how hard is it to boil water? But, I've recently gotten into premium instant noodles and wasn't really happy with the results I was getting with a bowl in our office microwave; I could never quite get the water to boil well. This works perfectly. It's kind of cool to watch as the water, which starts below the top of the noodle, starts to boil and covers the noodles.

I was most skeptical of the claim of using half the seasoning. But I've done this a few times and the flavor is fine. One exception to this noodles that include a non dairy creamer. If you want to get the proper look and consistency you will need to use the full packet.

I'm really pleased with this and have one in my desk and one in my cupboards at home.

I've been wanting one of these for a while now and I've always been skeptical of its functionality, but I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad I did! First off, I was expecting some kind of cheap plastic container. Surprisingly, this was not the case. The Rapid Ramen Cooker is a nice sturdy, and solid container.

Plus, it's so easy to use! If you somehow forget how to use it, the directions are embossed on the inner bottom of the container. Simply drop the whole top ramen in (I personally like to break it in half for shorter noodles). Then fill with water to the marked fill line. Finally, pop it into the microwave for 3 minutes.

My microwave is 1200W, and I wasn't sure if the cooking time was universal so I watched it as it cooked. You can see the water bubbling as it reaching boiling temperature. I was worried about it spilling (the reason why I decided to watch it), but surprisingly it never bubbled past the top of the container.

Once the 3 minutes was up, I carefully gave the handles a quick touch"”I was afraid the container would be too hot to handle, but it wasn't! Stir the noodles and add the flavor mix and you have yourself some perfectly cooked ramen! Perfect for cold days or for when you're feeling under the weather.

Amazing amazing product. I keep one at home and one in the office. Whenever I forget to get breakfast, I tear open a bag of ramen, crumbs flying everywhere, and put the main ramen patty in this cooker. 3 mins is all it takes if you like your noodles firm like me. I like using the entire seasoning pack, but it calls for more water AFTER microwaving. Otherwise, use half of it as instructed.

Saves time
Saves me from skipping breakfast
The best.
