The newest chapter in the legacy of the iconic Shin Ramyun pot.
. The thin aluminum also meant that water boiled gloriously fast, which is, for obvious reasons, convenient for when you’re making instant ramen.I still remember the day I walked into H Mart and saw an entire shelf dedicated to these golden Shin Ramyun pots. I had just moved to New York City and was learning to fend for myself in my tiny Manhattan kitchenette.
This may be why that shelf of cheap aluminum pots was such a Proustian madeleine for me. I was so wrapped up in building out my first kitchen as an adult, that I had forgotten all about my father’s flimsy bachelor pot. My parents had this one nickel-plated aluminum pot since before I was born. It was my father’s instant ramen pot, a holdover from his bachelor days in Seoul.
I bought one, of course, and to this day I probably use it once a week. The only difference is that I replace mine every couple of years because I find that, over time, the plating wears off and the bottom becomes porous . Despite its many flaws as far as pots go, I keep one in my kitchen at all times because a) it boils water freaking fast, b) it’s perfect for small-scale cooking, and c) it takes me back to a time, years before I was born, when a hungry 26-year-old bachelor named Ki Kim stood by his stovetop in a basketball jersey, waiting for his water to boil.
