and there's a warning on it that says "do not microwave"? wtf? how else are you supposed to eat this shit. I've had literally millions of these and i think I'm fine. am i the only one to not notice this apparent health warning?

 

[Neol]

Your supposed to put hot water in it and let it settle till the noodles are cooked.

I don't know anyone to do it this way though.

 

[Makai]

You're not supposed to microwave styrofoam. You boil water and pour it in.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

There's often metal under the paper lid. Microwaving it is a fire hazard. There's also the problem of using a microwave to boil water, which leads to super-heating and a scalding hazard.

Boil your water in a kettle like a civilized person.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Honestly you're already eating instant noodles so #yolo.

 

[thefit]

The cup when microwaved gives off cancer causing chemicals. You've been eating cup of cancer all along.

 

[Anustart]

Hell if I know, yolo. I microwave the hell out of em.

 

[Resilient]

eh, so im eatng a cup of noodles and realised i never read instructions WTF!?

 

[norm9]

Got a craving for my fancy bowl noodles for dinner now. Will not microwave though.

I think once you put water into a cup-o-noodles, it's no longer purified.

I imagine he's quite safe...

 

[Makai]

Now that I think about it, do microwaves get any hotter than boiling water? It's probably safe.

 

[waxer]

Never heard of microwaving them. But then in countries lacking electric kettles this doesn't amaze me either

 

[co1onel]

People actually stick the entire thing in the microwave? I've always just poured hot water over it.

That's the way I do it. Well did it - I haven't bought one of those in quite awhile.

 

[entremet]

Hell if I know, yolo. I microwave the hell out of em.

RIP

Microwaving instant noodles sounds so weird.

 

[Fat4all]

I bought a pot just so I could boil water for ramen back in the day.

Is boiling water seriously a puzzle for some of you?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Quite disappointed in you.

 

[Forgive Me]

i dont think thats how microwaves work

 

[Dedication Through Light]

i usually eat those wider noodle bowls with the spicy shrimp variety that you add water too and then microwave after pourimg the seasoning in. it has more flavor than nissan cup noodles.

 

[xxracerxx]

Microwaving styrofoam sounds like a terrible idea. Follow the directions and pour hot water in.

 

[Kirye]

I was told the warning before, and I tried using hot water but it just didn't taste the same so I went back to microwaving.

Some smoke to get their cancer, I microwave Maruchans like once a week.

 

[Resilient]

Is this the beginning of the great Kettle vs Microwave debate?

 

[Ape]

I could probably sell my microwave if I don't use it for my cup of noodles.



What I'm reading is that the Styrofoam melts? That's never happened to me. Not yet at least...

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I wasn't aware there was much to debate on that point.

 

[Linkyn]

Before today I never realised so many people don't use a kettle for their instant noodles.

 

[Rest]

Yeah, you don't want to microwave styrofoam. It's not good for you.

 

[Floridian]

Put water in a bowl, heat it up. Pour the hot water in the cup and let it sit for a minute. Ta-da;cooked cup noodles.

You've boiled water in microwaved styrofoam and eaten out of it millions of times? Might want to go see a doctor....

 

[Shining Sunshine]

I remember someone microwaved a cup noodle in highschool.

It bursted into flames. The fire department also came.

 

[KarmaCow]

I have never used a microwave for instant ramen type stuff, especially the Cup Noodles type because it usually comes in styrofoam which would probably kill you if you breathed in the fumes after microwaving it.

No, no it doesn't.

Not all of us are British.

 

[itwasTuesday]

You add hot water, not add room temp then heat.

 

[Dicer]

Since this is a ramen thread, why cant I get pork ramen anymore...?

It wasn't really pork

Oh wow.

Here I thought Alton Brown had put in all the necessary work to civilize us. I see there is still a long way to go. Kettles are perfect.

Well, if you are heating water and nothing else it can become superheated and explode in your face.

So always put a wooden stir-rod or something in the water. Until we can find a better way to heat water this is the best you can do.

They're an idiot and didn't fill the cup with water.

 

[Dicer]

I know but I need my pork flavored salt...

I used to be able to get pork ramen and now you cant even really find pork bullion as a substitute unless you hunt for it.

 

[cameron]

How do you not read the directions? It usually states to fill the cup with boiling water.

It would be awesome if microwaving the cups caused people to become infertile.

 

[Bright Side of Life]

Don't own a kettle so I just use a small saucepan unless I'm at work or too hungry to boil the water, pour, and wait

 

[Razmos]

You all need to find jesus an electric kettle

 

[Linkyn]

I'm not even British, just seems like common sense.

 

[v1lla21]

You're supposed to pour the hot water into it. Lol.

I put them in the micro only if I'm at work. But I rarely eat a cup of noodles there.

 

[Stinkles]

Oh shit wait you put water in them?

This explains everything.
