The finished product is round, about 40 cm in diameter—about the size of a large plate—with a thickness of around 2 cm and a weight of approximately 2 kg. Its exterior is exquisitely detailed, with even coloring and a very attractive appearance. The various patterns pressed onto the surface of the pancake resemble beautifully crafted ornaments. A typical iron pot pancake weighs around 4 jin (approximately 2 kg), contains very little moisture, and can generally be stored for up to a week without spoiling. The outer layer of the pancake is chewy and flavorful, while the inner part is soft, sweet, and layered. The taste of the dough is rich and aromatic, stimulating the appetite, making it very popular.
