You team up with a group of friends and/or family to cook an array of raw ingredients—thinly sliced meats, mushrooms, head-on shrimp, Chinese lettuces, fresh noodles, and more—in either a single simmering pot in the middle of the table, or smaller individual sized pots heated on induction burners built into the table. Once cooked to your liking, you dip the food into the sauce of your choice and eat it. Rinse and repeat until extremely full.
