I use cook my ramen noodles in the bowl I would eat them out of

Looking back that's incredibly stupid but my thought at the time was, "I got to put the noodles in something, how about a bowl?"

So I'd put the noodles in a bowl (glass or porcelin or whatever they're made out of these days), pour water in, put it on the stove

Lucky the bowl never exploded on me

Why a pot wasn't the first thing that came to my mind I'll never know... Weirdly, I don't know when I realized I was being stupid. Just one day I was like, "I should put my noodles in a pot"

Seems pretty normal, just pour the kettle into the bowl…

stove

Oh, oh no…

Depending on the ramen this works in the microwave, as long as the bowl is microwave safe.

However, I've gotten into ramen that you drain (chopsticks work great to help drain, no colander needed!) after cooking so I've had to be slightly less lazy. Plus I can microwave the frozen veggies on a paper plate while the ramen's cooking on the stove. Then eat it from the saucepan!

EDIT: had intended to reply to the parent post, sorry about that!

I also like draining them and scatter-frying with an egg and veggies, cheese, or whatever

Even a pot shouldn't be the first thing that comes to your mind. It should be an electric kettle. Or are you from the US where you can't use electric kettles (efficiently) cos ur shitty electrical grid runs only on 120V and therefore it takes ages to boil the water lol

[–] VelvetPinkOtter123@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

A kettle? What's that?

I did try shooting my gun a whole bunch and cooking them with the heated up barrel

[–] emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

In Canada our electricity also only goes to 120v, but the simple solution for this is to utilize the already hot water from the water heater. The hot tap on full already comes out steaming. Add that to the electric kettle and it takes less than a minute to boil 500ml.

I've always been told the water from the hot water tap isn't safe to drink due to bacterial and mineral buildup in the water heater. Not that I can drink my tap water where I live anyway (America!) but even when I lived with delicous well water I never drank the hot tap water.

I would eat out of the pot instead. Now Im refined and I microwave the bowl of water to heat it up, once its close to boiling, drop the noodles in and put a lid on it to lock in the steam. Wait 5 minutes and were good to go.

That's great! I am impressed the bowls survived.
