Korean Traditional BBQ Grill Pan

It�s a great grill and I love how all the oil just drips to the bottom. The nonstick grill on the top is the best too! I grilled 2lbs of meat and the meat didn�t stick to the grill at all! Overall I�m very happy with it.Advice to seller:This is my 2nd time purchasing the grill because the 1st time the bottom 1/2 of the grill was missing when I received it. I hope that the packaging box would improve with more tape around it. The usps mail lady dropped 1/2 of the lid grill in her bag but thank god she noticed that the box was opened and checked again. I saw her put the other 1/2 back into the box and handed it to me. I didn�t blame her since the packaging didn�t have much tape around it so it was easy for the product to fall out. I assume that�s how I missed the bottom piece the first time I ordered it too.

The grill pan overall is easy to use. If you are using this with your portable butane tabletop stoves (like we did), you should make sure the round base is securely mounted. We initially didn't double check and while cooking, the grill slipped but we caught it in time. Once secured, all was good.There are no instructions provided, so we weren't sure how much water to fill the base ring with. Through trial and error, the base ring should be filled with sufficient water (just under the top support rests) to ensure it doesn't fully evaporate during the first 10-15 min of cooking. A watering can (with a narrow pour spout) or water pitcher should be kept on hand while cooking to replenish the evaporated water. If the base ring isn't filled with sufficient water or dries out during cooking, the grease drippings will create a LOT of smoke. The water is the key to keeping this grill relatively smokeless. With that said, this isn't 100% smokeless - there will still be minimal smoke during cooking (something to keep in mind if you are using this indoors like we did).In terms of cleaning, the grill top is easy to clean. The grill top underside required a bit more effort to remove the burnt on grease. The base ring is also relatively easy to clean assuming you don't have any burnt on grease. Otherwise, it would require some scrubbing.

I can't believe I didn't get this sooner! Love this grill and don't forget to add water to the bottom tray or it will get dangerously smoky real quick. I love using the middle hole for sesame oil & garlic slices. Everything drains well. I've tried pork belly and beef, everything grills well! Easy to clean but I recommend rinsing it right away before the grease solidifies. It'll be harder to clean hardened grease in between the lines/wedges unless you run it under hot water for awhile.

I own several different types of Korean BBQ grill pans. This one heats up pretty fast at medium heat. The fat & marinade liquid run quickly to the collector making the meat crispy outside and juicy inside.This is an old traditional model made for the butane gas burner. It seems well made and fairly easy to clean.The grill pan is very slippery so it is hard to grab and impossible during cooking. It would be plus if the manufacturer provided at least one (or pair) handle with hooks that fit the holes on the grill pan for easy lifting.Also, the grill pan could be about 1/4 in. larger with three notches to keep the grill pan in place while cooking.Durability: Although I use my grill pans a few times per week at this point cannot tell how long it will last. Hopefully, it lasts longer. Will update after a reasonable time is passed.Value: The price is on the high side. It could cost a little less.So far I'm pleased with the product but there is a room for improvement.

I went to a korean bbq restaurant a little while ago and my kids loved cooking at the table. So I thought as a way to get them more involved I would buy a korean hot plate and portable stove top. Well we all used it last night and it was a huge success. Now I don't have to do all the cooking all the time...It was super easy to clean afterwards and cooked the chicken well. I was worried about fat spitting out of the chicken on the kids and table but that didn't happen. And I put water in the pan underneath and there was no smoke as mentioned. The only one small problem was the chicken pieces kept sliding down to the bottom of the pan but there is a lip on it so nothing slides off. So love it and would recommend it to other families if they are looking for a fun way to get the kids involved at the table.
