Can you really cook an egg in it?
I’ve written many times about soon dubu — the Korean tofu soup that arrives at the table bubbling furiously in a superheated crock made of volcanic stone. You then crack an egg into the soup and let it cook.
People who have never tried the soup — or even visualized it — have asked me if it really cooks the egg. Well, take a look at this soon dubu, soon after it arrived at my table at So Kong Dong, my favorite soon dubu house on Buford Highway. This video should leave no doubts.

It would not only be cooked, but hard-boiled in no time in that cauldron. Korean egg-drop soup.

I can make a poached egg with a baggie.

Since we discovered the tofu soup at So Kong Dong, we can hardly eat anywhere else on Buford Highway. Sinus-clearing perfection.
