It is an automatic ramen cooker that can be mixed with water so that all of the ramen's cooking process can be accomplished by unmanned automation.

Instant noodle is an instant food that is made by adding steamed noodles to steamed noodle after steaming noodles, and started to produce it in 1958 in Japan, the first developing country. After seeing the taste of dried noodles, which is an emergency food for war, the ramen was made in Japan after the end of the war.

On the other hand, ramen was introduced to Korea around 1960. It is a high-calorie food that produces 500 calories per 120g because it has more nutrients per unit weight than dry food. As a result, the majority of people enjoy it as a convenient meal or snack replacement, and products that are characteristic of various food companies are being made and marketed.

One of the common and simple recipes for the ramen mentioned above is a pot (A cook-pot) which is used to boil, fry, boil, and fry foods. After adding the powdered soup, the powdered soup is soaked in the noodle soup, mixed evenly, cooked again until it is cooked properly, and then put in a bowl to be consumed as a meal.

On the other hand, the cooking process of this ramen, in particular, should be kept during the boiling time of the water, the process of adding the noodle and powdered soup to boiling water again, and all the processes to make them mixed with boiling water again. There has been a hassle to intervene.

Accordingly, in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-357815, a cooking selector switch capable of selectively setting a cooking time according to the amount of water in a common electric pot performs a basic function of boiling water and a cooking function of ramen.
