3 Pack Yumei Instant Hotpot Self-Heating 425g, With Vegetable and Noodles in, Tomato Flavor(Tomato Soup)

Buy it!Pros: It's an experience. So much fun!I did this with my roommates last night, and we had a blast.It comes with little chop sticks, and we loved all the little veggies inside.Spice level- for me it was perfect. I added all of the packets. If you love spicy food, you'll be happy. (I could've gone spicier.) Make sure you stir everything well.Cons: the pasta didn't cook 100% so we did have to use the microwave to finish. Could've been fixed if we'd added more water in our pots to begin with. Add way more water bc you want your pasta cooked as well as broth.It does need a touch more seasoning, like lime juice. We used Tajin and it was PERFECT. Chef's kiss!Takes about 10 mins to cook, so we did spend a couple hours on the whole process. You'll need a good amount of time for this.Spicy- for me, it was the perfect level of spice, but the guys wished they'd added only half of their spice packets. :[Get it. It's fun. It's not expensive for what you're getting. These pots are heavy.

I bought the 3 pack cause i thought this would be a fun little experiment with me and my kids - the reaction of the water, it heating the food, and then we get our reward! The food!And yes, they had fun doing this.That said, i really debate between a 3 and 4 star. We got the heat one, which was the only one available at the time, and... As others have said, it's very bland.Now, THAT said, it's very easy to make it not bland: it's so oily that almost anything you put in it will diffuse very well. I added a small amount of sweet soy sauce, dried/ground garlic, and a lil bit of fish sauce. I could have absolutely added more than just this: but this, in itself, turned a bland meal into something pretty tasty. And, it came with a bunch of veg, and you could EASILY add any fresh veg, as well. So, ultimately, i decided to go with a 4 bc of this fact, that the only drawback i had was the flavor, which was easily corrected.Finally: there is a lot of waste in a kit like this. I could not recommend this as a daily, or even monthly, item if you have access to power outlets. But, for camping? For a one time thing with your children? A few times a year for lunch at work? Sure, yeah.

This is a cool idea but to me it just isn’t good. The flavor is just strange as well as the contents. The heating element and everything worked as it should and came just as pictured.

I never thought that getting a tasty meal like this could be this easy and so much fun! I'm buying more of them 👍 update: I have been purchasing the tomato flavor and it tastes awesome if you add most of the packet of chili peppers! also a good trick is to add hot water (if you have it handy) for the meal (not with the heating pad) , use cold water preferably for the heating pad (about 2 inches of water only) Also put the bamboo shoots (the stiff beige sticks in the seal transparent packet) at the very bottom so that they cook completely you won't regret it if you do it right! also I do the same thing as an other reviewer I let it sit for 12-15 minutes after it begins bubbling instead of the 8 minutes then everything is cooked perfectly! the tomato flavor is the least spicy but taste awesome with lots of chili peppers ;-) 👍 these make great meals ! Enjoy

Saw these on a youtube video, so of course I had to try them. I love the little kit, and it's easy to prepare. It would be fun for a kids sleepover party. Now, I did NOT like the noodles that came with it. Texture is a big deal for me, and the texture of these was very off putting. But the taste of everything was good. The broth is SPICY. I liked it, though. The veggies are good too. I would definitely buy more, maybe a different flavor, or especially if it came with different noodles. Kind of expensive, but I consider it a novelty item for where I live, in Mississippi, USA. If the price was better I'd buy more often and put in my long-term prep supplies for the convenience.

Phenomenal idea, brilliantly executed, poor texture and flavor. I got the original and tomato from the same company and they’re both oddly sour? I was expecting tomato and not weird sour hotpot with 0 flavor of tomato. The texture of the noodles that come with it are wayyyyy too chewy and if you use ramen to substitute it the pot steams them basically making them a weird flavor and texture. I wish all food companies would have something like this especially for those struggling with electricity or homelessness but the flavor and textures just aren’t there.

what I experienced was nothing short of transcendence. I felt like I was walking through the gates of flavor heaven and possibly hell.. in one bite.The spice? I was sweating, my eyes were watering, and yet, I couldn’t stop eating. It was like I was tripping on flavor somehow both painful and amazing at the same time.Would highly recommend if you’re looking to experience something… transcendental.

These are great first for the reviews that say there is no fill line for the red cup it's the dots in the corners one cup works perfectly then fill the white cup to the fill line gets super hot as for the taste it's a sour tomato soup close to Tom yum very mild spice level and you don't have to actually add the spice it's separate the vegetables are crunchy and the noodles have a chewy texture I was overall yummy and good size also fun to make comes with chopsticks as well nice little kit on the go to eat anywhere just remeber the plastic will get hot when cooking but won't melt .
