The Ddukbaegi is a fascinating Korean kitchenware that has been a prominent part of Korean cuisine since the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392). It is now an extremely common item that you can find in nearly every Korean restaurant. Despite the commonality of the Ddukbaegi in Korea, and how it stands on the frontline of Korean cuisine, the world is not yet familiar with what the Ddukbaegi actually is.

So here are the Ddukbaegi’s 4 most appealing features that perfectly introduce the Ddukbaegi, just for you!

1. The Ddukbaegi provides impressive, hot, boiling or sizzling food that can be cooked in the bowl and served directly to the table(cookware-cum-serveware). It retains heat, so it keeps food warm for a long time.

Top tips to make your dish the most impressive on the dining table

- For dishes like Bibimbap, drizzle a few drops of oil on the bottom of the Ddukbaegi before you put it on heat. This will enhance the crackling sound. Remember, just a few drops!

- Keep the Ddukbaegi on the heat until everyone who needs to be at the dining table has arrived, move the Ddukbaegi when everyone is seated- this is so the soup is boiling, the rice is crackling or the food is sizzling at its best!

As well as being able to cook and serve many Korean dishes, you can also use the Ddukbaegi as a cooking pot for different dishes that you are more familiar with. You can enjoy your favorite food while it is boiling and crackling in the Ddukbaegi. Some ideas are porridge, soups and stews.
