Sotbat's pots are crafted using Sancheong Goryeongto (산청 고령토), a special clay from the Sancheong region of Korea known for its remarkable durability and heat-retaining properties.

The Sot is inspired by traditional Korean Onggi, and its unique pattern is drawn from the Suhwa-mun (수화문), a symbolic design historically used on pottery to represent abundance and regeneration. In the past, these patterns were often etched into traditional Korean earthenware to invoke prosperity and renewal. Sotbat continues this tradition by incorporating wave-like Suhwa-mun patterns onto the pots, wishing for the continuous flow of life and for a fruitful future.

Adding a whimsical touch, Sotbat’s Suhwa-mun also carries a fun wish: ‘맛있어져라,’ which translates to ‘Get delicious!’—a playful charm cast over every dish prepared in the pot.

Ideal for cooking rice, stews, soups, steaming, and even baking bread, this Korean Sot combines timeless design with modern functionality, making it an essential tool for anyone who loves hearty, home-cooked meals with a touch of tradition.

Cleaning Instruction

Initial Cleaning: Before first use, rinse your Sot with hot water to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing. Avoid using soap, and allow the pot to dry completely before cooking.

Post-Cooking Care: Let your Sot cool naturally after cooking. Clean with a sponge and hot water, and dry the base thoroughly by placing it upside down to prevent moisture buildup and mildew. We recommend not using any soaps.

Drying and Heating: Always ensure the Sot is completely dry before placing it on heat.

Storage Tips: Do not leave leftover food in the Sot overnight. Transfer any remaining food to another container to avoid odors and stains.

Odor Removal: To remove odors, soak your Sot with hot water and a small amount of baking soda for about 10 minutes. Discard the water, then gently scrub the interior with a soft sponge and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
