Hi,

I just got an electric convection oven. So, now I'm wanting to do some baking, but at E-Mart they do not have muffin tins, cookie sheets or any such baking utensils. Not surprising, of course.

But, I wondering if anyone knows where to get them. I do recall being in such a huge kitchen supply store once at Namdaemun that is certainly likely to have this kind of stuff, but maybe some of you know of other stores with these supplies.

Thanks.

I have never found Emart to be helpful, but try Lotte Mart or a Homeplus. You'll never be able to find the wide variety of stuff like back home, but it is possible to find basics here. Just takes some time.

Where are you?

[crossmr]

My e-mart has some of that stuff. Near the pots and pans. Is yours one of the bigger e-marts or smaller ones?

I do a fair amount of baking and Gmarket has been the only place to find the ingredients i need not to mention pans of varying sized and shapes.

If you're in Seoul, the area around Ulchiro-4-Ga (almost directly across the street from where the Army Corps of Engineers compound is located) has a few baking/cooking supply shops. They have pretty much everything you could want (minus the ingredients), including the paper cups to put in the muffin tins.

Ok, it took some looking, but I remembered a site! It's all in Korean so you'll have to have someone help you.

OMG

Good site~

Don't tell AsiaESLBound about the kilogram of pepperoni for 8.500won though, it'll blow his conspiracy theory.

and hit up the baking district in Jongno 5-ga. You can get nearly everything there.

Thanks for all the replies.

Check out Bangsan Baking Market.

It's in the same area that everyone's mentioned near Jongno 5 or Euljiro 4. It's great!

There are also some great websites in Korea that will send you everything you need!

Here's the directions to Bangsan baking district:

Go to Jongno5ga station, on line 1 and go out exit 7. Walk straight till you cross Cheong-gye-cheon (the stream), then turn right on the road immediately after it. The first left you get to has a sign above it that says 방산종 한 시장. Walk in a bit and you'll find dozens of shops selling ovens, utensils, bake ware, ingredients, and everything else you could need to bake. There's much more variety than Emart or LotteMart.
