"불판" is a Korean term that refers to a grilling plate used for cooking various foods, particularly during outdoor barbecues or at restaurants specializing in grilled dishes. Typically made of metal, it is designed to withstand high temperatures and is often used to grill meats like 삼겹살 (pork belly) and 불고기 (marinated beef). These plates can be flat or have raised edges to contain juices and fats that drip during cooking. In many Korean homes and eateries, the use of a 불판 is central to the dining experience, allowing diners to cook their food right at the table, enhancing both flavor and social interaction.
