Upgrade Your Ramen Noodles with the New Microwave Ramen Rush Noodle Bowl

It’s officially back-to-school time, especially for college kids. While linens, dorm decor and school supplies are top of mind, stocking up on the perfect cooking supplies to make quick and easy dorm meals should also be on your list.

But, let’s be real. While there are lots of things one can cook in the microwave, the one every college student learns to quickly love is Ramen noodles. Fast, easy and versatile, “instant” Ramen noodles can act as a quick snack between classes or even a full meal. But now you can say goodbye to that styrofoam cup and keep your pot clean for a different meal with the new Ramen Rush microwave noodle bowl. This product is designed to cook up one pack of Ramen in just three to four minutes and comes with handy reusable chopsticks.

How to Use

Simply add your favorite packet of ramen noodles, then add water to the fill line before cooking. Microwave for 3-4 minutes (times may vary) and add any seasoning and additional add-ins to taste. Allow Ramen to sit 1 minute prior to eating.

Made in the USA

Crafted with care in the USA, this durable BPA-free and melamine-free ramen cooker is the epitome of convenience and quality. The ridged bottom enhances cooking by distributing heat and prevents sticking by allowing the liquid to flow beneath the noodles as they cook. The chopsticks and cooker are dishwasher safe, so cleanup is a breeze!
