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.

WOW-- I had my doubts as the products are really just simple rectangular bowls that you place ramen noodles into and put in the microwave, but I am now convinced! The fill lines and microwave time of 3 minutes to cook result in PERFECTLY cooked ramen. Whoever figured this out to the exact shape and line height is more patient than I am, which is why I absolutely love these dishes for a quick and cheap microwave meal, and will be buying more of them for myself and as gifts for lazy people such as myself!

How did this thing not exist when I was in college?!?! Honestly. What a lifesaver. No more pots and pans and standing at the stove. Honestly, I was skeptical this thing would work as advertised, and it 100% does. Plop your ramen in, fill with water up to the line and then pop it in the microwave. No spills, no messes, no bubble over, no nothing. Easy peasy! It cooks it all the way through, it's dishwasher safe, and it's easy as can be. This would be the PERFECT off to college gift for any high school grad.

These little bowls work great for most types of ramen, but I still had to break up some of the brands as they don't fit perfectly. It is still easier than trying to fit a square ramen in a round bowl. The bowls themselves are sturdy, and they cook ramen efficiently in the microwave. The handles are a great addition and keep me from burning my fingers when taking it out of the microwave. It definitely makes ramen cooking a little easier!

Works wonderful, they are great, the college kids love them

It makes it easier to cook the ramen that doesn't come in Styrofoam cups. Super-easy cleanup, and makes good ramen (as far as instant ramen is concerned) with little effort and cleanup. I use these often, my reason for purchase is that in a move I've lost the ones I had before. It's a good Idea to buy several so that you always have a clean one.

Great and easy to use for 12 year old grandson to use in microwave without me helping. He loves it. Durable and colorful
