    I'm baffled why 80 percent of the comments are people flipping out that silicone rubber is a ingredient, its not when he mentioned the silicone he was talking about the cutter that effects thickness and how wavy it is thats the reason the camera was zoomed in on the ramen being sliced

      Javorie Johnson people are so stupid these days. I kept scrolling and people actually think silicone was added to the noodles...its the material of the damn cutting mold

      Nothing to be baffled about! As people should PAY ATTENTION! That's what he said, he should have Explained it better! Companies are know to poison food by putting toxic things in food in case you are not aware or don't know that! Subway did it, they used chemicals to make tires in the bread. To all the other comments and commentors about this, you are the STUPID ONES!!! You are obviously the ones who don't read ingredients and Don't know what you are eating or maybe you don't care!

      In my country all food factories are much cleaner . This is a small factory. You should see a plain food factory here . Nothing on the floor is completely forbidden, and there’s no spraying on the shoos you need to cover in a special automatic machine your shoes. This is nothing compare with it . ua-cam.com/video/_Wzbs021qX4/v-deo.html

    When I go shopping in Asian grocery stories I always consciously looked for things that are made in Japan or product of Japan. I trust the people tremendously simply because of their work ethic. The prices of their products are usually higher than those that are made in elsewhere but I think it's worth it.

    The ramen noodles already have all of the ingredients in them by the time they are cut, but silicone utensils are commonly used in kitchens both professional & domestic, because it is possible to shape dough or batter in almost any form, using silicone, because it does not stick to them.

    Large cities like New York, Philly, and LA become over saturated with ramen shops, while they basically don't exist in the rest of the country. I think real progress would be building them in medium sized cities across the country. I have 4 pho shops within reasonable driving distance, but the nearest ramen place is halfway across the my state. I don't get it because I feel like ramen is more popular, yet no one's making it outside of large cities.

      Although Title 21 mentions a variety of rubbers, FDA-approved silicone rubber is the ideal elastomer for food-related applications. Silicone is ideal for use as a food grade rubber because it is a non-toxic material.

      @@justrosy5 @2:04 It was the way he said it, "whether it's wavy or straight its by adding a certain silicone rubber". But ya he was referring to was silicone flaps inserted below the output of the roller cutters. Its not something your gonna find on a standard home pasta roller, though i think Alex did a video on making a homemade modification for one.
