The design was inspired by the gamasot, a traditional Korean cast iron pot dating back 2000 years. Grilling Korean BBQ meat on the lid of the gamasot became a widespread phenomenon in Korea in the 1990’s. To this day, restaurants featuring the sot-ttoo-kkung (the gamasot lid) grill are widely popular spots in Korea for dinner and drinking with friends. The sot-ttoo-kkyung grill can be designed to resemble a right-side-up or upside-down lid. The upside-down design grill pan is often called Chosun Griddle. (Korea was known as Chosun between 1392 and 1897.) The curved surface allows the fat or marinade to collect in the middle of the grill pan while cooking. This helps the meat become a delicious golden brown, rather than soaking in fat or boiling in marinade. You can cook vegetables, mushrooms, garlic, or kimchi in the middle with the flavorful fat or marinade from the meat. It is truly a full Korean BBQ experience at home! When you are not grilling or table-cooking, the grill pan can double as a frying pan for stir-fry and braising, freeing up space in the kitchen cabinet. MOOSSE’s superior thin wall casting technology and smart design reduces the weight up to 30% without compromising functionality. Its excellent heat conductivity and retention rate allows food to cook evenly and quickly. The grill pan emits far-infrared rays, allowing food to cook from the inside as well as outside. This can create a crispy texture on the outside while locking in the juicy flavors and keeping any loss of nutrients to a minimum.
