i.love.lucy Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Well, all ramen noodles need is really hot water, so possibly yes. But does the water get hot enough in the coffee pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Our family is voting yes but are worried about the taste of coffee. Ds is liking the idea of putting the seasoning in the filter part. lol Let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 My college kid wants to know. :001_huh: :lol: Gosh, I have no clue - never tried it - but perhaps someone will and tell you all about it! Does your son/daughter think that it could work because water gets heated and the noodles would soften? Would they put the noodles in the pot and filter hot water through? When does the seasoning packet come into play? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I used to make mac & cheese in a coffee maker at college (:ack2:), so, yep, you can absolutely make ramen in a coffee maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the interest of full disclosure, I'll admit that it's my old coffee maker that I have never used for coffee, only to make hot water for inferior hot cocoa that comes in those little packets. :tongue_smilie: I didn't want to send him with a new one that they'd likely break.

Julie in CA Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 I did it all the time when I lived in a dorm. So, uh, do you just break up the noodles & put them in the carafe and then let the water drip in there? Did you have to let it sit in the pot for a long time to get them done enough? Inquiring minds want to know...;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabrett Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Just wondering, have they tried making a grilled cheese sandwich with a clothes iron?:lol: Why don't they just buy the roman noodles in a cup. All you would need to do then is heat the water with the coffee pot and pour the hot water in the cup then let it sit. Much easier.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you would need to do then is heat the water with the coffee pot and pour the hot water in the cup then let it sit. Much easier.:D You can do this with the noodle packages as well. Just put them in a bowl or plastic container, pour the hot water from the carafe over them and place a plate or some kind of cover over the top to trap the heat in. Let sit for about 2 minutes and the should be good. If they aren't soft enough yet, use a fork to separate them a little bit and let sit some more. I used to live on ramen but didn't use the flavor packages (give me a headache - maybe MSG?) - I'd add a little butter and garlic powder. Yummy.

Chris in VA Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I used to have my preschoolers iron a sandwich during our houses and homes themed unit! It's great fun! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenpatty Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 LOL, I've never tried... but who says ramen has to be cooked, anyway? In college (and now, for a rare treat) we'd break up the noodles (while still in the pack), sprinkle on the seasoning, and eat them like chips. Quite tasty!

Dobela Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yes, my Japanese roommate in college showed me how to cook ramans in a coffee pot. What we did was run the water thru first then add the noodles and let them cook on the hot plate until to our liking. Add the packet and eat. It was alot easier later when we started heating the water in the microwave though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch at Home Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I am certain it is possible though I have never tried. Ramon noodles are cheap. It wouldn't hurt to do a couple of trials. A hot pot would be easier but I don't know if they still make them. It is amazing all the thing we made in hot pots, popcorn poppers and over candles.

Wendi Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 You can buy that as a treat in the Asian grocery store: bags of crunchy ramen noodles with various seasonings. Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 A hot pot would be easier but I don't know if they still make them. . They still make them. I always take one along when we go camping as it heats water much faster than my propane stove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I did it many a time. Put the noodles and spice packet in the pot. It works best if the noodles are broken up. Pour the water into the reservoir and brew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo Ninja Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I used to iron grilled cheese sandwiches, and taught the guys in the dorm how to do it. The trick is to wrap it in foil first so the iron doesn't contact the bread and butter directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) I'd recommend that s/he heat the water in the coffee pot, put the noodles in a bowl, pour the water over the noodles and put a small plate over the bowl for a couple of minutes. That should do the trick. Edited September 12, 2010 by Mrs Mungo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in CA Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Just curious.....are microwaves not allowed? LOL No microwaves allowed in the dorm rooms.

A hot pot would be easier but I don't know if they still make them. It is amazing all the thing we made in hot pots, popcorn poppers and over candles. They still make hot pots, but the ones I've looked at are pretty small capacity (4 cups). Ds wants to be able to share his hot chocolate/instant oatmeal/top ramen with his 3 roommates. The coffee maker capacity is 12 cups, and I already own an extra coffee maker that he can use. I had a hot pot years ago, and I really liked it.

Pour the water into the reservoir and brew. Yep. For mac & cheese, I'd put the macaroni in the carafe and pour the water in the reservoir. It would take a while, but eventually the macaroni would soften while sitting on the heat. I'd pour the water off, add the day-glo cheese, and eat. Sometimes I actually added half & half I nicked from the commons :D. Desperate times. Desperate measures. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put noodles and packet in a big mug, add hot water and let it sit a few minutes...we don't even bother with a cover. Just find the right mug that can fit the right amount of water and then you don't even need a measuring cup. This is also easy for multiple servings.

ElizabethB Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 This is much better for heating water, smaller and less likely to break, I had one in college. http://www.amazon.com/Travel-Immersion-Water-Heater-Voltage/dp/B000AXS0UE Maybe look for one with more stars, but the general idea is good...

Tutor Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Yup, you can cook Ramen noodles, make cup-o-soup, "boil" hot dogs, cook lentils (dh says so anyway... I haven't tried this one myself), and clean your toothbrush all with a coffee pot. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
