Crazy Korean Cooking Korean Stone Bowl (Dolsot), Sizzling Hot Pot for Bibimbap and Soup - Premium Ceramic (Medium with Lid)

I don't normally write reviews, but after I ordered my second bowl, I felt like this product was worth it. I first got one of the large bowls about a year and a half ago. I have since used and abused the hell out of it and it's still pretty much as nice as it was when I first got it. Since telling you it's a nice bowl doesn't really do it justice, I figured I'd mention a few of the activities it has survived.Cooking multiple times a week - I don't mean adding hot product or anything like that. I live in a small apartment and I don't have a normal stove, so I use a hotplate to cook with. I just throw the bowl on the coil and it heats up and cooks the food no problem. I've cooked everything from eggs, to stirfry, to ramen in it with no problems.Bean Hell - I once fell asleep while warming up some beans on the stove in this bowl, and woke up about 6 hours later to a room filled with smoke and the smell of burnt beans. The beans by this point were less a vegetable and more charcoal than anything else. Bowl took no damage from the extended heating session and I was able to completely clean out the cement like interior with only minimal soaking and scraping. My apartment by contrast smelled of burnt beans for months afterwards.Cooking the Plate - The plate is made out of a heavy plastic. In my infinite wisdom and attentiveness, I once placed the plate on the hotplate with the bowl on top of that. I eventually figured it out when trying to figure out what was causing the awful smell in my apartment. I figured something had gotten stuck to the coils or something. No, I'm just an idiot. The plate survived, though the coils did leave a faint impression on the bottom of the plastic where the plate had been sitting. To clarify, using the bowl/plate combo normally does not cause it to smell nor does it leave impressions on the plate. It's only when you decide to cook the plate that this becomes a thing. In addition, I will add that in spite of being plastic, there was no melting or deformation caused by the heating.So yeah. Looks great, cleans up easily, and survives most trials that you might run into. While I probably wouldn't recommend dropping the bowl on a cement floor, I definitely would recommend picking one up.

This Dolsot is beautiful for sure! It comes in a very sturdy brown box packaging that is also adorable and interesting. I kept it to keep mine safe while not in use or on display. Great for gifting, a very clever design! The pot itself is nicely sized for a dish for two or more or a really big soup for one! :) Makes the best Budae-jjijae I have ever made! No matter what I put in it and no matter how hot the temp food never sticks on! Very even heat. The lid is great too, with a little steam vent. Great for adding the noodles atop the stew last step! The trivet/tray makes stove to table super easy and last but very not least, it cleans so easily! Stew with so very much gochujang paste on Monday evening but no time to do dishes till the next day or maybe even Wednesday? This pot is for you. Cleans so easily with a bit of hot water a touch of soap and hardly any scrubbing. Even dried rice! All with no red discoloration! I am so very impressed that I will be getting a set of 4 small ones to make a table set! Love Love Love this product!

This is a beautiful and well made pot. The medium is the perfect size for 2 servings. Ideal for kimchi stew or steamed eggs (and lots of other things, too, but it does such a good job I just keep making kimchi stew and steamed eggs)! Read the instructions before using and always start it on low heat for a few minutes before raising the temp so it won’t crack. I use some oil or cooking spray so food doesn’t stick, which makes it super easy to clean. Please don’t be nervous about the plastic trivet. It REALLY will not melt. It’s thick and heat resistant at the temperatures used for cooking in this pot. Used as directed, I have no doubt this will last for many years. From the pictures, I wasn’t sure whether I would like the color, but in person, it is lovely. If you’re looking for a great gift for someone who enjoys cooking Korean food, you can’t go wrong with this.

It’s a good quality bowl, and the size is just what I expected. The only problem is the trivet size: it’s too small for the bowl. I already have 2 dolsots in my kitchen, and I know how they are supposed to fit in the trivet. This one simply doesn’t. It kind of sits on the edge of the lip instead of the well (the bottom) of the trivet. I don’t want to go through the hassle of returning and waiting for the new bowl but hoping that the seller would send me the correct size trivet .

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my Dolsot cooking pot! I like supporting Korean products and having authentic cookware and spices made/grown in Korea as I am learning new dishes to prepare. This particular one I recently purchased is a gift now that I have used mine and discovered just how wonderful it is to use. The first pic is Bean Sprout soup and the second is a hotpot style dish with fresh shrimp, mussels, baby bok choy, daiken and more! It not only fed my family of three but we had leftovers as well.. it holds a lot of food! Being able to use it on my gas stove was a plus. Love the clay as it holds the heat at a perfect temp to ensure perfect even cooking of every dish I make. My family loves it! I absolutely recommend purchasing this one as it has now become one of my favorite go to cookware to use.

The media could not be loaded. this little dish is the perfect size for an individual portion of Korean steamed eggs. It is very sturdy, easy to clean and can be used on any stove cooktop. For an individual portion, I mix one large egg with 1/4 cup chicken broth -you may add sliced green onions or chives, and a dash of gochugaru, also sold by Crazy Korean cooking on Amazon. Heat over low medium heat for about six minutes or until done to your liking -a splash of sesame oil is a nice touch! I like the fact that this comes with the trivet because this dish is very hot after steaming the egg. Pay attention to the size of the dish when you order. This is perfect for preparing steamed eggs, but would also work with bibimbap, soondubu, or other dishes. Money well spent!
