I'm pretty sure that it is safe.


I've heard that that's a myth from reliable sources. Then again, I've heard from 100x more unreliable sources that it's true. I've eaten off of microwaved styrofoam before, and I'm still kicking. I think that if it were horribly unsafe, that it'd have been pulled from the market a long time ago.

Cliff notes: I've eaten on it, I'm still going.

Edit: BAM!

There are microwave instructions right on the label. I don't think that it is going to hurt you. I've done it many times, and I turned out somewhat ok.

Damn cup ramen............

Microwaving saves the time by 3x literally. Once I found this out, I'm never going back.

traditional way:
1. heat water until it is sufficiently boiling (a good 5-10 mins)
2. pour water into the cup
3. let it sit for 5-7 mins until the noodles get cooked.

microwaving:
1. add luke warm/cool water into the cup
2. run it on microwave for 3 mins.

(the heat will efficiently cook the noodles and boil the water simuntaneously)
