What is the relationship between hibachi and teppanyaki? Can someone sum it up in a sentence? -- Sylvar

Teppanyaki is a style of cooking that is generally very heavy on presentation. Hibachi is what it is cooked on. A good western analogy is the barbecue style of cooking, which is generally done on a grill. --Kralizec! | talk 02:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

The following info was added to the article by 125.14.52.125:

Actually, hibachi don't use for steak. Correctly, it is called "Shichirin".

Hibachi is essentially used for heating body and water. In recent days,the hibachi reconsider as a heater not only body also Heart & Soul.

[edit] Teppanyaki

The hot plate thing which teppanyaki is cooked on is called a 'teppan' (iron-plate) and is heated by gas. It is not a hibachi which is more of a charcoal heater. —This unsigned comment was added by 62.173.119.59 (talk • contribs) 10:21, 4 April 2006.

The modern version of the hibachi is often gas powered. This is especially common in American restaurants serving Japanese food. The following is from the Benihanas restaurant website:

Hibachi (firebox) is the traditional Japanese cook stove which used charcoal as fuel for the preparation of food. Today most hibachi are gas powered and used to grill meats and vegetables.

Perhaps the article should better delineate between the traditional charcoal and the more modern gas versions of the hibachi? --Kralizec! (talk) 12:52, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Me again, did a bit of research. Hope that clarifies things between different meanings of the word - the original hibachi, the american use of the term to refer either the modern shichirin or benihana style teppanyaki (refer to http://www.benihana.com/benihana_history.asp) - i think the term is a "mis-use" of a word but if the term is established in america (I didn't even know!)i guess it warrents a coverage..I've moved the teppanyaki photo below though so it's next to the relevant article.
