can you use this for ramen?

I've never tried it for ramen, but it's worked for everything I've tried so far. For ramen, you just need to boil the water...right? Well, this pan will do that so I guess it will work.

I do not know anything about ramen other than ramen noodles. It is great for grilling meats indoors when it is either too hot or too cold outside.

If you do it the way you describe (using the soup cup for water and the main cup for pre-cooked noodles) I don't see why not. You could also try my "leakproofing" trick for the main cup and see how it works for you: place an oversized piece of plastic wrap/cling film over the top of the main cup before putting on the lid. (If you're using really thin, cheap plastic wrap, it might take a couple layers, or more if the lid on the main cup has started to stretch a bit with wear. Test it with some water first to see how effective it is, or to add more plastic wrap if you need it. It works fine for me, but then, I don't subject it to a lot of tipping. Heavy duty plastic wraps seem to work best, and that could get expensive if you did it every day.) Good luck!

I had one of these for several years. I actually chose this one because of the wide mouth and reports that it could be cooked in. Officially, the answer is yes. However, my needs were mostly for boiling water and I found it wasn't so easy to clean after using for other purposes. Not so much in the beginning, but we lived in a hard water area and over time once the calcium build up began, it became hard to get the stains out. It probably didn't hurt anything, but I think that while it's possible, it is less than ideal for foods. I left this behind with another family member when I moved and bought a different model and I can say that I wish I had this one back! Whichever one you decide on, make sure it goes off automatically once it boils. The one I have now doesn't do that and I've come back to a pot with all the water boiled away and the whole unit so hot - I'm surprised it still even works.

Yes it can be used for stir frying. Works well and cleans up easily. But I don't think it's stovetop safe. About 12.5"x3.5"

You should be able to. We got it for cooking a rack of lamb, which is not very balanced, and had no problems.

Yes, I have made ramen in mine at least 200 times since I have purchased it and it is still in great shape.

I use it to slightly flame fried rice fried noodles. I don't have a hot enough stove to get that nice roasted flavor to my stir fry like the restaurants

I am sort of curious why you would want to make miso soup in this type of cook pot?

Yes you can. I have cooked soup and hot dogs in mine. It is very versatile, and I use mine every day.

Sorry have not tried but don't see why you could not. Only meat pieces are infuser and metal screw on handle

I wouldn't use it for that purpose. I would be more inclined to buy Avery small crockpot for that purpose. This griddle is just for cooking.

yes if it is just broth. If it is chunky then don't waste your time. the chunks stick to the heating element and you end up with a burnt tasting soup and good luck trying to clean it

I'm not sure what you're using it for, but my favorite brand of Asian noodles has potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate as ingredients. Of note, the noodles are still considered all natural. It is the only dry noodles I've found that doesn't melt or stick in the pan/wok when making chow mein (fried noodles) or lo mein. It also has a nice elasticity and springiness. So if you're making raw ramen noodles, yes it can be used. If you're using it as a soup ingredient in cooking ramen, I don't know. I don't know its taste or reaction with other ingredients.

This is mainly designed for beverages. If you try it for mashed veges I would add some stock to the cooked veges.

I imagine you can use it and it probably won't give much flavor. In any events, I don't reckoen it's dangerous, so try it out. I know you can use it in pancakes and such ;)

I haven't specifically made hot pot, but there's really no reason that I can think of why you couldn't. It doesn't have a huge capacity, but I have used it for a coconut milk based Cambodian fish soup because it holds it at a specific temp.

As long as you can make the dough for rice noodles, using the machine is worth a try. It can also be used for making mashed potatoes or spaghetti ice cream dishes.
