🔥 Korean Stone Bowl : Dol-sot (Stone Pot) Vibes & Origins 🔥
📌 Origins – Where It All Began
✅ Ancient Roots – Used since the Three Kingdoms era (Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla). ✅ From Big to Personal – Inspired by Gamasot (iron cauldrons) but sized down for individual servings. ✅ Built for Heat – Made from volcanic rock or granite, keeping food sizzling hot. ✅ Crunch Factor – Creates that golden, crispy Nurungji (scorched rice) at the bottom.
1> Nurungji is another delicacy. When cooking rice in a dol-sot (stone pot), the crispy layer of rice that sticks to the bottom can either be scraped off and eaten as is or soaked in hot water to make sungnyung (scorched rice tea). Either way, it’s an absolute treat! 🍚🔥

2> These days, restaurants typically use dol-sots made of real stone, while in most households, earthenware pots (made from clay) are still referred to as “dol-sot” and commonly used for cooking. 🍲🔥
