In Korean this is “dduk bae kie.” These ones are shiny but I prefer the one’s that aren’t shiny. I used this for soon du bu, doenjang chigae, and sam gye tang. They are perfect because the stone retains the heat until you finish your meal. Of course you can cook without them but your food will be more delicious if you use a stone bowl.
Hi. I just want to say your website is great. I stumbled upon it looking for different kimche recipes. I had two questions. I wanted to know how much does your recipes serve. I only need enough for my self and I really don’t do left overs it just ends up going bad. Also wanted to know if I could use cast iron to make the stews or is that not a good choice.
I bought an earthenware bowl and a hot plate from a Korean houseware store. I bought the shiny one as a starter bowl because the nonshiny one is $$$. Do you have to treat the bowl before using for cooking? Also, how do you transport the bowl from stovetop to the hotplate? Your video never shows how you transport the bowl. I normally order to the tofu stew in a Korean restaurant but it is brought to our table while the stew is bubbling hot. I’m scared that my silicone oven mit will not be safe enough to carry the bubbling hot bowl off the stove.
Just rinse it slightly before using. I use cotton cloth to move the hot earthenware. : )
hey maangchi!
does a 뚝배기 need a gas burner to work properly?
or does a regular stove work just fine?
thanks!
im planning to make 순두부!

An earthenware pot works well with either gas stove or electric one.
Good luck with making delcious soondubu jjigae!
Hello Maangchi
I Bought Earthenware Bowl From Korean Store
It Looks Beautifull It Has 3 colours in one ;)
How To Make Rice In It
And Is It Non Stick Pot
Hi Maangchi! I was wondering how big is the bowl as in the diameter of the bowl. I’m trying to order it online but I didn’t know which size to get. There are sizes small, medium, large and extra large.
I recommend purchasing a medium size earthenware bowl. Mine is medium size, but I would like get large or extra large one someday. When you cook your stew with a small bowl, the soup will easily boil over.
Kim Thai,
It is sold at a Korean grocery store.
please let me known where can I get the earthenware stone. Thank you so much.
I don’t know why!
Earthenware is fragile, so you will have to cool it slowly before washing to prevent it from cracking.
As long as the inside of your earthenware doesn’t crack, it will be ok.
Hi Maangchi! I bought one of these bowls to make your delicious soon dubu with. After I used it a few times, I noticed that the outside of the bowl would start releasing a small amount of reddish liquid, which then dries off and leaves a crust on the bowl as it cooks on the stove (so it looks like some soup boiled over and dried on the side of the bowl). Do you know why it is happening? Maybe I didn’t wash the bowl properly last time? Please help me! Thanks! :)
