Description
We spotted these earthenware pottery pots on one balcony of one of the South Korean monastery. Large earthenware pottery urns are used in many different ways, from storing fermented ingredients through to storing a variety of seasonings and pre-prepared cooked or steamed foods. Each style of urn has its own name, depending on its size, usage and how it was made. The largest are called dok and are used for fermenting soy sauce, hot pepper paste and brown bean paste. The "kimchi dok" is used to prepare kimchi as well as the whole range of fermented vegetables. Source: Culture on Korea.net
