Yakatori
September 30th, 2008
For my next dinner party, everyone can cook their own food. Since I bought the Hotspot Yakatori table grill — just like the ones Japanese vendors use — I just cut up shrimp, beef, veggies, make a ton of rice and let everyone play Benihana-chef. Made of handmade fired-clay, it offers insulation that results in high temps for a wide range of cooking. Control the heat simply by sliding the door on the adjustable ventilation holes. The 100 square inches of cooking space on the stainless steel grill makes it handy for small parties. After dinner is finished, move it outside where it doubles as a little heater.
