Square Ramen Microwave Bowl Set — 45 oz Noodle Cooker with Utensils
Product description
Designed specifically to fit square blocks of instant ramen, this cooker removes the need to snap dried noodles to make them fit. The interior shape accommodates whole square noodle bricks so your noodles remain intact and neater while cooking.
The set comes with the microwave bowl and a fitted lid that features an enlarged drain outlet plus two side clasps to keep the lid from falling off during pouring. Also included are a fork, spoon, knife and a pair of chopsticks stored with the bowl. The top opening serves as a steam vent and a pouring/draining spout.
Made from microwave-safe plastic, the container measures 7.87 inches long including the handle, 6.1 inches wide, and 3.74 inches tall. Its total capacity is approximately 45 ounces, large enough for single large meals or two instant noodle packets in one batch.
The side handle is sturdy to help lift and pour without burning your hands. While convenient for heating ramen, pasta, soups, cereals and oatmeal, please note the lid does not include rubber seals and is not leak-proof — it’s not intended for carrying hot soups or other liquids outdoors.
Cleaning is straightforward: the smooth plastic surfaces rinse by hand easily. The design emphasizes quick microwave cooking and minimal cookware to wash afterward, making it especially useful for busy adults and students in small kitchens or dorm rooms.

It’s built for microwave convenience and minimal cleanup, with included utensils and a heat-safe side handle. Note that the lid lacks

Much better than round bowls
Fits square noodles far better than a round bowl and the handle feels sturdier. Glad I switched to this design.

Worked once I figured it out
No instructions were included, so I used an online helper to learn how to use it. I had left the drain lid open at first, which kept the noodles from cooking properly. After closing the drain lid the noodles cooked through. Plenty of room for two packets. Saves me from washing pots — very happy with the purchase and would recommend.

Great for dorm life
Surprisingly handy for students living on campus and just as useful at home for noodle fans. I bought one for myself and might grab a few more as gifts for family. Good quick meal option.

Smart, practical design
I love that the steam vent doubles as a draining spout — keeps food hot and makes pouring simple. Cleans easily by hand; not sure about dishwasher use. I’ve used mine a couple times with an electric kettle and it’s been great.

A bit oversized
Does what it says but seems larger than necessary. If that’s not a dealbreaker it works fine and is inexpensive enough to replace if you don’t like it.

Okay, but lid is tricky
Would be a full rating if the lid snapped on more easily. Aside from that, it does its job heating and draining noodles.

Feels cheaply made
Material feels cheap and not worth the cost to me.

Perfect size for big appetites
Big enough to cook two ramen packs at once. I usually prefer boiling on the stove, but the lid makes draining easier than grabbing a colander. Wish the sides were flatter so I could add stickers, but overall five stars from me.

Versatile and convenient
Works well for ramen, reheating meals, and even salads or cereal. Cuts down on clutter since it replaces several dishes. Appreciated the included utensils.
