How do you care for your stovetop teppanyaki?

How do you control the temperature on the grill?
Before you start using your grill, you need to give it some time to preheat. This helps you get the best cooking performance from your grill.
First, you need to start by putting the grill on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.
This setting should allow the grill to heat up to around 350 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it depends on the environment and weather.
Then, you'll want to turn the heat down to low or medium-low for about 2-3 minutes to distribute the heat evenly throughout the grill.
It is important to note that steel conducts heat quickly but cools very slowly.
So even if you lower the heat on the burners, the grill will have enough heat to get you to work. Once the grill has preheated, it's time to start cooking.
If you understand that it is important to manage the heat on your grill, it will help to avoid damaging the grill.
Although steel is strong and durable, always make sure to use a low to medium heat setting. This is very important, especially if you want to use multiple heat settings on a large grill with multiple burners.
This gives you the opportunity to cook the fajitas and toast the tortillas at the same time.
However, you'll want to make sure you keep both of these settings on Low or Medium.
