Buying Korean Kitchen and Home Goods
· ppasong
Cookware, small appliances and home items from Korean retailers.
The voltage issue
Korea runs 220V at 60Hz. US outlets are 120V. Korean appliances need a step-up transformer, not just a plug adapter.
What ships well
Cookware, kitchen tools, storage, textiles and non-electric home items ship without complication.
What to avoid
Large appliances, anything with a compressor, and pressure cookers with sealed vessels.
