Teppanyaki vs. Griddle — What's the Difference?

Teppanyaki (鉄板焼き, teppan-yaki), also known in some countries as Hibachi (火鉢, "fire bowl"), is a post–World War II style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food. The word teppanyaki is derived from teppan (鉄板), the metal plate on which it is cooked on, and yaki (焼き), which means grilled, broiled, or pan-fried.

A griddle is a cooking device consisting of a broad flat surface heated by gas, electricity, wood, or coal, with both residential and commercial applications. In industrialized countries, a griddle is most commonly a flat metal plate, elsewhere typically a brick slab or tablet.A residential griddle may be composed of chrome steel, aluminum, cast iron, or carbon steel.
