So explain to me why I wouldn't want to smell like Korean BBQ for 3 days?

rather than an insertable piece to change its elevation, why not just make the heating element arm adjustable? this gadget is just 1 trick, a portable butane burner is useful for more than just KBBQ. its an actual portable cooking range with several uses, not restricted to the electric outlet. as a Korean, i would pass on it, there are better options with more functionality and different grill pan configurations for KBBQ

The best Korean BBQ at home device is a Electric pancake griddle.... You just plug it into a wall and you get instant griddle....I got mine for around 25 dollars and Ive been using one just for Korean BBQ for 10 years...

I have that same grill and it works great for me here in Korea. Sometimes it gets too hot and starts charring too quickly when cooking galbi ribs. Perhaps it’s a difference in voltage power? My grill is configured for 220V and assuming she’s testing it out in the US, hers is 120V.

why do all her videos get so much hate ? i really like them !

[Im_George]

Horrible design. And a lost opportunity to have the plate itself heat up us well, so constant heat from top AND bottom.

Esther is the best!!! I can’t wait to see what she reviews next 😀

[zekkoukyo]

Hi, I just started watching her reviews this year because quarantine boredom. I still don't understand why she got alot of hates...Seems like her reviews are usually pretty honest imo

Used this in Korea at my mother in laws home for pork belly. While an interesting idea for a grill. When the the grill gets too hot, the fat from the meat (ie. pork belly) starts to splatter it gets into the heating elements and causes flare ups, from the top down. Not the best and a bit expensive.

i visited my parents the other day and they brought this out - it was actually pretty legit lololol as far as cooking kbbq indoors, it does the trick with oil splatters & smell/smoke, but if you're looking for a do-all kind of gadget, i'd stick with a butane burner

Interesting product idea, but this looks more like a prototype with all of its functional flaws. Looking forward to version 2 after some refinements.
Zaigle:
- Make the heat lamp height adjustable and able to swing out of the way when loading up the pan.
- Increase the diameter of the heat lamp to cover the entire pan and put a lip on the pan so food won't easily fall off.
- When the improved version is released, send me one for free for helping improve your product and making it a hit seller. :D

BBQ always brings people together. It’s timeless.

Love this channel reviews are so honest. Who wants boiled Korean bbq

[whatismyname]

I have one and actually works really well.
It really eliminates making huge mass around table with oil splash and smoked up ceiling at your house
with exhaust fan attached at top.

For these kind of videos, you should really turn the background music off or much lower. My 2 cents to your editing team.

[Pettyjutebox]

It should be like those countertop pizza cookers that look sort of like this but heat from the bottom and the top.. If there was a heating element on the bottom too it would work perfectly..

[MrRazorteeth]

I randomly clicked on this video. Turns out to be my favourite auntie ester😹🤪

[delooaes]

Where can I buy one? Asking from Iceland. Thanks in advance 🙏

[truecanuck]

So take the tech, modify the presentation, and add infrared from the bottom and call it "searing mode" then?

I saw this on a drama
