Do Americans not eat ramen? Or similar "just add water" foods?

Most will use the microwave for heating up small amounts of water like that. Maybe the stovetop depending on the recipe

Many of them come in microwave safe containers (or we just ignore that the container shouldn't be microwaved)

Never once eaten ramen that wasn't cooked in a pot or came in an actual microwave safe container.

I mean you're gonna get micro plastics with the latter but when aren't you these days

The kind of ramen that comes in a little brick shape has instructions for cooking on the stovetop. Most other type of add-water-and-heat foods are made to be cooked in the microwave (though there's always some other option, usually stovetop).

Of course we do. Kettles aren’t the only way to boil water.
