Do you put 1 cup of cold water with la noodles to the microwave? Or do you need to put warm / hot water?

No, fill cold water to the line you shall see. 4 minutes on high in the micro......perfect each time. Then, just stir in half of the season pack. You will love it. Get ready to buy Ramen by the case for only $4.00

There's a line you fill the water to, and it doesn't matter what temperature the water is... That's why you're putting it in the microwave...

A person is never supposed to use Hot water from the tap, as it comes from the Water Heater, which is Rusty inside.

Water boils at 212 F. So at 100 F the liquid lets say water at 100 is warm, but not hot enough to cook or boil uncooked noodles. I tried . Great for coffee, but never piping hot. Much better than drinking a beverage cold when u want it warm. I also gave one away for niece to fill with 1/2 water to warm baby's bottle. But she said she always let formula drop on her wrist to make sure not too hot for a baby's mouth. Time wise less than 10 mins . The indicator Lights up so that helps. Unplug when not in use.

The amount of water to use is indicated by a line inside the bowl (and yes, you can get a measuring cup and add the appropriate amount of water... but what is appropriate?) I just need the one ramen cooker and the amount of water indicated works for me. Even though it looks as if it will "boil over" it doesn't and the handles are cool when I take It out of the microwave. My daughter said her husband used to use plastic bowls, but they were "funky" when he was finished. My family has had a lot of discussion on the correct way to make ramen noodles... this just made it a lot easier to microwave.

this warmer i keep on all day. it has a built in timer (on and off). about 20 min till warm cup. if you want a quicker way to warm up your cup just put some water in it and place in the microwave for a min or two.

With distilled water (recommended) room temperature is fine, but water that is warmed up feels better and probably loosens a little bit more mucus. I heat for 30 seconds in a microwave.

I don't see a problem with heating the water in a microwave. Optimal temp for water is 195-205 degrees. I also found filtered water makes a big difference in the flavor of the coffee.

You put grounds in along with hot water. I heat water in a kettle. I'm sure you could use a microwave. I let my coffee "brew" about 4 minutes before I press the grounds down through the water. The flavor is amazing because there isnt a filter absorbing all the flavorful oils. You can go to a coffee shop and request your coffee to be French pressed if you want to try it first.

1. Yes 2. I always add a teaspoon or 2 of water or stock before I reheat. (be sure to open the little vent on the lid before you put it in the microwave) A little steam helps to keep the food tasting fresh. Food tends to get drier as it cools, so a bit of liquid helps. 3. Depends on how full the cup is. That cup holds just short of a quart of food or liquid. I would put it in the microwave for 1 minute - on high, then check it and stir. Then another minute. Keep reheating a minute at a time, checking it and stirring until it is heated to the temperature you want. Take it slow. Each type of food reheats differently.

If you try putting this teapot in the microwave, the outside layer will get incredibly hot and the heat won't penetrate too well into the interior of the pot, like other dark shiny ceramic containers. The traditional way of making tea is to boil a kettle of water and pour the hot water into the teapot. You can use a little of the hot water to pre-warm the pot.

A microwave oven, probably 20-40 seconds, depending on the power of the oven. It should stay warm for at least 10 minutes. A possible alternative is a hot water bath.

No water needed. Just plug it in and turn it on to warm. You just need to place your food HOT from stove because it keeps it warm. It won't heat cold food.

You do not HAVE to use boiling water. You can use hot (not boiling) or cold water and wait 30-60 minutes and have tea. Hot water is faster, boiling is even faster. I use these to cold brew. Put the bags in a pitcher of water, put the pitcher in a refrigerator. In a couple hours, the ice tea is ready and it is cold.

Never used the no boil noodles. I use Barilla lasagna noodles, uncooked, and follow the recipe for quick and delicious lasagna that came with my pan. Actually my son puts it together and it is his specialty, lol. He's 14 now, but started making it when he was 11.

I remove all metal parts from the lid and warm the water - no greater than 3 minutes - in the microwave. Works great! I wouldn't recommend getting water to a boil in the microwave.

I just received one today. My method was to put a medium-sized glass of water in the microwave for 90 seconds. Warm it up separately, then once the water is hot (not burning) to the touch. Place the grip in the water for one minute. Then it will be warm enough to stretch without tearing. Even with this it will take a couple of minute of struggling and cursing to fit it over the handle. But once it is in place it is perfect, and no slippage.

Hi, Judith, I've put the pot in the microwave without a problem mainly to reheat prepared tea on defrost (works great---no loss of flavor) or to heat the water in order to heat the teapot. However, I would never use the microwave to heat the water for tea because it is impossible to gauge if the water is the correct temperature. My guess is that it would be difficult to find any pottery made nowadays which was not microwaveable, don't you think?

I have poured boiling water into the dish, but warm it with hot water first. I am a "safe rather than sorry" type and don't want to make the mistake of having it crack or break because of a sudden and extreme change in temperature.
