The Benefits of a Teppanyaki Plate
The benefits of a high-tech Teppanyaki plate are endless. Firstly, it's a healthy way of cooking, requiring little to no butter or oil. The plate gets very hot, preserving good nutrients. You can briefly cook fish, meat, and vegetables, preserving flavors and serving a healthy meal.
Moreover, cooking on a Teppanyaki plate creates a cozy atmosphere, as everyone can prepare their own dishes in their own way while still sitting together at the table. Using the plate can also lead to surprising culinary experiments, such as steaming. Pouring a moist substance over the plate creates steam, enhancing the flavor of your dishes in a subtle way. If you want a more intense flavor, you can use a dome to cover your dish and let the steam do its work.
In addition to grilling delicious meals, you can also use the Teppanyaki plate to keep sauces warm or reheat leftovers after barbecue sessions. The plate retains heat for a long time, allowing you to make optimal use of this feature.
How Does a Teppanyaki Plate Work?
It's easy to use. You can use the Teppanyaki grill plate immediately upon receipt. Make sure to light the binchotan charcoal and let it reach a high temperature. It's difficult to prepare dishes at a low temperature. Once the Shichirin grill is at the right temperature, place the Teppanyaki plate in position and let it heat up first. The advantage of a Teppanyaki plate is that it gradually gets very hot and retains and distributes heat evenly. The thicker the plate, the better it retains heat and the less likely your food is to burn. Once the grill plate has heated up properly, drop some oil or butter onto the plate and you can start cooking.
To get the authentic Japanese cooking experience, we recommend the Yakiniku BBQ spatula set. These spatulas are made of high-quality stainless steel and are specially designed to help you prepare and flip your dishes on the Teppanyaki plate. They are also effective for removing debris from the plate, keeping it clean and your food flavorful.
How Do I Clean a Teppanyaki Plate?
When the plate is still warm, it's wise to immediately remove any residue from the plate. This is best done with a sharp object without damaging the plate. Steel wool or scouring pads are not suitable for this task, but the BBQ spatulas are perfect for helping you with this. Then you can thoroughly clean the rest of your plate with our Starter Kit cleaning. This kit contains all the essential products you need to fully clean your Teppanyaki plate and Shichirin, so they are ready for your next grilling adventure.
Additionally, the Teppanyaki plate is dishwasher safe, providing extra convenience for rinsing the plate after removing the largest debris. Although placing it in the dishwasher helps to rinse the plate and remove small residues, it's important to remember that for effectively removing large residues, manual cleaning with the BBQ spatulas and our cleaning kit is the most effective method. This ensures that your Teppanyaki plate remains in optimal condition and is ready for every use.
