Korean Dolsot Stone Bowl

Care Instructions:

• When you first receive the bowl, fill with water and a tbsp of salt, and place on a very gentle heat on the hob. Bring slowly to the bowl, and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour away the water, and gently wipe out the bowl. Never pour cold water into a hot bowl (or vice versa!). Once the bowl is dry, pour in a little sesame oil and swirl around. The inside will darken. Keep adding little by little until the bowl stops absorbing the oil. Store like this. This helps to prevent food from sticking, and to protect the bowl. 

• Dolsots can be prone to developing hairline cracks, so always heat up slowly, and wait until it has completely cooled before washing – then only use salt to clean, not soap. Never put a hot bowl into cold water, or cold water into a hot bowl.
