I don't care how many times I've ever seen this style of cooking done, I enjoy watching you Paul and could see it every day!😃

[@femtoeclipse860]

Cannot imagine the amount of practice it takes to be a Hibachi pro. In addition, you are directly interacting with the customer It must challenging cooking infront of 6 or 8 hungry people and cooking fast enough to not keep them waiting too long.

[@jamesledesma]

Dang bro you just boost my confidence to make this for my family! They keep bugging me cause they know I could cook but I hesitate trying to make this meal.. thanks my brutha your family and friends are proud of you I'm sure!

[@MrGonzoron]

Your confidence as you cook is inspiring! This separates you from all backyard chefs I have watched. Thank you for sharing some tips as you go along! I really liked the teriyaki caramelization tip in this video. Best wishes on your mobile business!

Glad i found your pages, one of the best things i did was buy a hibachi/griddle for my yard. Loving the content. Thanks for taking the time to make and share your skills & knowledge

[@micahhittinger6083]

Thanks for that! It’s awesome to see how you do it! Even if I don’t do everything exactly how you do, it’s a good baseline for great food on my blackstone!

[@snownomore803]

Another well planned video. Always learning something. Moving the teriyaki sauce on the griddle for a few seconds is a game changer. I tried this with a dry rub marinade by adding a little water. Works like a charm.

[@-8l-924]

I’ve seen and enjoyed hibachi cooking before, but when he put the chicken and steak down it was the first time I had thought about the possibility of cross-contamination. within seconds he spoke to that exactly, like he read my mind. looking forward to future videos!

[@carriemagruder4066]

I am wondering the same thing. Or how to keep each portion of the meal hot while you finish cooking. Sometimes it works best to finish cooking it all before serving it.

I prepared to be amazed, and then I became amazed!

[@gregoryking9348]

I have Blackstone regret. 😂 I'm an old phart and live alone and figured the 2 burner was more than enough for me, which it is, but it developed a large divot in the very center. I followed the break-in instructions to the letter but it still happened. It doesn't affect anything other than runny things like egg for hibachi cooking but for cooking things like bacon it's a drag because the fat doesn't run to the back and out the drain. But for hibachi it still rocks!! Thank you for the demonstration! I could smell the video! 😂 PS I second another commenters question about you showing us how to make the dipping sauces. Yum!

Hey Paul. As always, so much good information in this video. You add a style we gridlers don't see anywhere else. You are one with the flat top. I play Bass and Banjo and my connection with those instruments allows me to see the connection you have with what you do on the flat top. Is it called Teppanyaki? Hibachi? Something else? You play the flat top like it was a musical instrument. Flow. Rhythm. Timing. Experience. Technique... Most of all, patience. With us. 22.3 K admire you. Keep it up man!

Looks delicious Paul. One thing I really struggle with is cutting the meat on the griddle. I don't know if my knife just isnt sharp enough or what, but it just doesnt cut near as cleanly as yours. You make it look so easy.

[@bradracine3426]

Definitely need a sharp blade. Mine wasn’t cutting well and then had it sharpened and made cutting so much easier

[@kbasham03]

Paul love the videos they've helped my griddle skills alot. It would be helpful if you gave us approximate recipe amounts, I know you got it down and slap garlic and butter without measuring and it tastes great but I'm not there yet.

[@thebackyardhibachi]

Good idea! I would have to measure this out. I’ve been eyeballing everything for the past decade plus!

Watching your videos daily!! Keep it up and thank you for being such a good instructor. Random question but what is the thing on your soy sauce bottle called that lets you get the “consistent pour” as you say?

It looks like its just a pouring top that you would use with liquor bottles

One of the better videos that I have seen for sure. I have a question you mentioned turning your medium to burners down to medium high. What do you have the outside burner set to. For example I have four burners. I'm assuming you do as well. What do you set all of them at during cooking?

I only use the middle 2 burners
