If you eat Korean food as much as we do, you have seen this heavy stone bowl that serves rice dishes especially Bibimbap. It is usually sizzling hot so they warn you from touching it. As a result, we never knew how heavy it is. It is called Dolsot and made of granite. You can also find a dolsot made of ceramic and is lighter than its granite counterpart. Dolsot serves as both a cooking pot and a serving pot as the stone retains heat long after the dish is cooked. It is usually whitish-gray granite color and with time it gets older and blackens.

 

If you haven’t had Bibimbap yet, I will leave you with this. Mixed rice (crispy at the bottom) sautéed with vegetables, spices (or rather pastes), meat and egg in a hot sizzling pot. White Tiger has a great one on the menu topped with home-made kimchi.
