I have hot pot at least 1-2 a month and it is definitely my favorite food in the colder winter months. I've been a foodie ever since I learned how to cook. I love hot pot because it's simple, warm, comforting, and allows me to try variety of different ingredients, flavors and textures all at the same time. This list of recommendations includes my go-to grocery/ingredients list along with some nice-to-have items if you're wanting to splurge to add to your next at-home hot pot grocery run. It includes hot pot materials, meats, seafood, veggies, soup bases, pots, and dipping sauces. Enjoy eating the best hot pot family-style or just with yourself at home.
