A compression chamber for a compression type ramen cooker is capable of cooking ramen by compression by blocking a discharge of air in a cooking container while cooking ramen. The compression chamber includes a lid, a chamber container having an upper portion on which the lid is mounted and a bottom surface to which the cooking container is coupled to seal the cooking container, a heater installed through the lid and mounted inside the chamber container to heat the water stored in the chamber container, a supply valve unit installed through the lid to supply water to the inside of the chamber container, a discharge valve unit installed through the lid to supply water in the chamber container to the cooking container, and a vapor discharge unit on a lower side of the chamber container to discharge compressed steam inside the cooking container.

A device for making and dispensing pasta comprises: a pressure cooking vessel; and a ball valve assembly comprising: i) a valve body coupled to a top opening of the vessel, and ii) a rotatable ball securely located within the valve body and rotatable between an open position and a closed position, the ball having a bore, wherein in the open position the bore provides access to the top opening of the vessel, and in the closed position the ball hermetically seals the top opening. The device also includes a means for dropping pasta through the bore and into the vessel; a means for rotating the ball to the closed position; a means for heating the interior volume of the vessel to cook the pasta; and a means for providing egress of the pasta from the device after the vessel has cooked the pasta.
