Joyce,

I am not an expert yet, but I will do my best to help you cooking Korean food.

About my camera:

I am still learning about photography. I used to use a Canon PowerShot S45 , but I bought an SLR camera just 2 months ago, so since then I am using it. It is a Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP (400D or Canon Kiss digital X in some other countries), and I am totally in love with it. It is just so good.

My lense is a Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM (I just bought it a week ago), which works brilliantly. Before that I was using an 18-55mm f 3.5-5.6 standard lense.

The 50mm lense is great, because it takes clear pictures without needing extra light.

Hi Sue,
I live in an area where there is only one korean restaurant and they do the cooking in the kitchen, so it is not fun or appetizing when it arrives at the table. I bought an indoor grill for the purpose of doing bulgogi but the heat intensity is not enough, so it was given as a gift to someone who could make use of it. I was browsing on the internet and found a korean bbq plate and started researching on how to use it, and happened on your blog site. Would you give me some advice on what I would need to set up my own bbq at home? I only have an inkling of a clue on how to set up, maybe a propane tabletop stove with a bbq plate on top?
Thanks so much for any advice you can provide.

Hi, Thanks for the info. If I would like to buy a Korean BBQ table (for my backyard party) like the one in the Korean restaurant, where can I get one? Where did your mom buy the table for her restaurant?
There are a few people who want to know this, see below:

Hi Kimberly,

My mom lives in Korea and she got the BBQ table at a kitchenware shop in Korea. Those kitchenware shops usually specialize in restaurant kitchenware and are easily available.
If you are not in Korea, well I have no idea. Is there a Korean kitchenware shop where you live? If you are not sure, ask the restaurant owner.

michelle,

The tabletop propane stove like you mentioned is the right kind to use.
It’s what I use at home, and many restaurants in Korea use them as well, to save putting gas pipes in.

So use a portable gas stove and a grill plate like in this post and that should cook well for most Korean style BBQ.

Saw the article about the BBQ grill plate but could not
figure out hot to purchase one for my husband. He lived
Korea for nearly a year and enjoyed very much the cooking
and has made many great dishes. He’ll go nuts over this..
Thank you.
