MDLUU Dolsot Bibimbap Bowl 32 Oz, Granite Stone Bowl with Wood Base, Dolsot Pot for Korean Soup, Rice and Stew

I bought this item to use as a shaving bowl. It is perfect to use it for this purpose if you have large shaving brushes like the Simpson Chubby 3 / Kent 12. I was able to create lots of lather with very little soap / cream and the granite bowl holds the heat of the hot water for a long time. You should soak the bowl in hot water for 2 or 3 minutes so it is able to act as a heat sink when you begin to shave. Since others mentioned that the metal ring does rust, I removed it prior to using the bowl (BTW - it is not glued on to the bowl - the trick is to dunk the upper lip of the bowl into hot water - that will expand and loosen the metal ring. Using a small screwdriver and a set of pliers, I was able to twist part of the metal ring and then used the pliers to just "tear" it away from the bowl without causing any damage) I added some stick-on rubber feet to the bottom of the bowl to protect the countertop - am sure I will get years of good use from this granite bowl.

It’s porous but cleaning and maintenance isn’t that bad. I use it for cooking rice or preparing Korean Bibimbap with the stone pot heated. Avoid extreme conditions like submerging it in water for days and then suddenly placing it on the burner at high heat. Does discolor and darken from stove/flames. But that’s expected. Other than the price, no complaints

I love these granite dolsot bowls! I have others, but wanted more and they are becoming more expensive and hard to find ones of this type. It's easy to clean, sturdy and I use them for food and for holding things like fruit in the kitchen.

This is a lovely, HEAVY, carefully made durable bowl/pot. I was very lucky because in reading about how to use it, I found out that heat between the stove and the base can build up causing the glass stovetop to CRACK!! I also read about the rim rusting. The outside rim can be snipped off if the idea bothers you. I returned it. One of the last things I want is a cracked stovetop. It should come with a warning. Stone containers can only be used on glass top if the stone is completely flat!

Ever since I tried bibimbap, I've been eyeing getting a set of these bowls to make our own at home. We finally did and so far happy with the bowls. The wood piece did end up scorching a little and kinda stuck to a couple of the bowls but overall we are happy with them.

Good stone bowl - I especially like the use and care instructions that came with it. I can't wait to get the bowl well seasoned.

Does get a bit rusty on the edges. It’s also hard to use and prep, so I don’t know how much use we’ll get out of it. I might buy again but probably wouldn’t unless you make a lot of dishes that use this

I did quite a bit of research before I bought the bowls as a gift. The person who received them absolutely loves them. They were even better than I thought they would be. Very sturdy and well made. The bowls have been used them a couple of times and we are looking forward to using them often in the future.

Great product for keeping food hot Pricey but good
