Korean stone bowl (dolsot) recommendations?

[fortheloveofmoar]

hi all

Looking for recommendations on stone bowls for korean egg steamers (gyre on join).

I saw this one on Amazon and it seems fine but figured I’d poll the good folks in kkf.

Same here. Almost picked some up yesterday at the Korean market, but thought I'd wait until I had the chance to do some research.

I’m not really well versed in Korean stone pots, but the one you referenced is stoneware, not stone. It’s a ceramic pot that’s pretty durable but not quite the same as real stone. I’d look in an hmart or ask a Korean restaurant, this guy is expensive and out of stock but I think it’s the real deal

Edit

These look like stone and waaay cheaper

I’ll have to stop by h mart when I go back to Chicago but we are in northern Wisconsin…soooooooooooooo yea.

Thanks for the recommendation… I guess that makes me think that ceramic is fine since it is for egg vs. the stone bowl is for Bibimbop to get that nice crispy bottom. I’m not sure you can use the stone for egg (at least I’ve never seen it)

Yes -- you mentioned wanting to make gyeranjiim. I've only seen the black ceramic bowls used for this.

I think you can probably just stop by your favorite Korean restaurant and ask to buy one of theirs.

My contribution to this thread.

Korean stone pots are really heavy and are intended to keep the heat very constant. Used for rice cooking and the dolsot bimbap. Dolsot means stone pot. Some large k markets in the US (LA, NYC, Atlanta) carry this item. Aliexpress also sells it but shipping may be costly.

Ceramic pots are used for stews (soy bean and chilli pastes) including egg stews (gyeranjjim). The food does not stick into the pot. Also found in k marts. We call it tupbaegui.

Have fun
