It's known for its theatrical and interactive cooking process, where skilled chefs dazzle diners with their culinary artistry. With the Everdure FURNACE™ and our complementing Teppanyaki kit, you can bring this experience to your own outdoor space.
Getting Started: What You Need
To get started with Teppanyaki on the Everdure FURNACE™, you'll need:
-

Quality ingredients: Choose a selection of fresh ingredients, including vegetables, meats, and seafood, for your Teppanyaki feast.
-
Soy sauce, sake, mirin, and other Japanese seasonings: These will add authentic flavours to your dishes.
Steps to Teppanyaki Perfection
-
Preheat Your FURNACE™ Grill: Start by preheating your FURNACE™ gas BBQ. Set the burners to medium-high heat and allow the Teppanyaki griddle plate to heat up evenly. This step is crucial for achieving the iconic sizzle of Teppanyaki cooking.
-
Oil the Griddle Plate: Once the griddle plate is hot, lightly oil it to prevent sticking. You can use vegetable oil or a specialized Teppanyaki oil.
-
Begin Cooking: Place your ingredients on the griddle one by one, making sure not to overcrowd the surface. Keep in mind that Teppanyaki cooking is quick, so you'll need to work efficiently.
-
Season and Sear: Season your ingredients with a drizzle of soy sauce, sake, or mirin for that authentic Teppanyaki flavor. Sear each ingredient on one side until it develops a beautiful caramelized crust.
-
Flip and Continue Cooking: Using your spatula, flip the ingredients and continue cooking on the other side. Feel free to get creative with your seasonings and sauces.
-
Serve Hot: As each ingredient finishes cooking, transfer it to a serving platter. Teppanyaki is all about enjoying the food fresh off the grill, so serve it hot and sizzling.
Tips for Teppanyaki Success
- Keep the griddle plate clean between cooking batches to avoid flavour transfer.
- Practice your flipping technique—it's part of the Teppanyaki show!
