WowI honestly wasn’t sure to expect. I saw this ~2 years ago and I never pulled the trigger on buying it. I decided that I’m getting pretty tired of microwaving ramen since we don’t allow kitchen stove plugins, so I bought this.Initially, I thought I bought an overglorified plate warmer and I was about to return it simply because the instructions were pretty… lackadaisical in describing what to do so I decided to wing it based off what the instructions said (see booklet pic.)First time I failed pretty hard. I:1) Filled both compartments to fill line with hot tap water2) Cooked the egg and veggies FIRST for 7 minutes3) Stuck the ramen in the (now boiling) water in the large compartment4) Cooked all of it for 3 minutes.The ramen and the veggies came out great. The egg was a disaster. I ran it under cold water and tried cracking the egg and *splut*, the uncooked yolk spewed out and for the rest of the egg, the shell stuck on. Bummer. I ate the ramen anyways and it came out just a smidge softer than al dente. Nice.So I tried it again in almost the same order.1) Filled with hot tap *just above* the fill lines2) Cooked my veggies (only mushroom chunks) and egg for 7 minutes3) Added the ramen, seasoning packet, carrots, and spinach to the ramen side4) Cooked for 3 minutesNow, instead of cold tap, I used a bowl of water and ice and cracked the top of the egg (since there’s usually an air pocket up there.) I shelled the egg in the ice water and cut it in half inside the soup and all I can say is… WOW. It came out just like the local ramen shops I go to. I’m blown away.This’ll definitely stay at my work place. There’s also a scrambled egg recipe too!

Beats Old School Stove or Microwave CookingIt heats up faster than a stovetop and cooks your eggs and ramen to perfection. The smooth Teflon makes it a breeze to clean. I jus tho of it sideways to make sure the hot water and soap make contact with the Teflon and not the electrical area. Dries throughly with a good absorbent paper towel. Any missed food particles will slide off with the paper towel. Highly recommend this product for regular ramen eaters like me :3

Love it, has minor flawsLove it. Used it more than 10 times in a week or so. Always makes Ramen great and used it to make rice for the first time here. Worked perfectly

Worth itThis is a great little machine and works fantastic and quick. I read a review about not working with the “better” ramen, if it doesn’t fit use your brain… break it into a smaller piece.Update: It’s been almost 2 weeks since I’ve had it, used it about 5 times and this thing holds odor like nothing else. It stinks up my room, I have washed it about 10 times with boiling water and soap, scrubbed it, let cleaners sit on it for hours, boiled vinegar, nothing seems to work. It’s a shame, because it works great but I’ll have to toss mine out. I wont deduct stars for it as the machine did work just fine.

Liked it so well we bought 2 more.bought one of these as a Christmas present for our oldest child, it works great, doesn’t take anymore (or less) time to make instant ramen than the stove or microwave. but its much easier and more convenient if you want to put veggies or soft boiled eggs with your ramen It is also easier to drain if you like your ramen without broth or with less broth. I am much more comfortable with kids using this than the stove and having a wall mounted microwave this is easier to reach. we bought 2 more for the 2 other kids (and us) to use.
