Some people might wonder how to clean up the grill when it's no longer being used. A teppanyaki grill consists of a grate to catch the food and a fire below it. The grates come in many different thicknesses and designs to fit the cooking space of most home barbecues. You can purchase grates with grooves so that food doesn't burn into them or you can purchase those without any grooves. With non-stick grates, you'll need a metal spatula or fork to scrape up any melted food that may have stuck to the grates.

One last thing to mention is the fact that cleaning up a teppanyaki grill can be a little difficult. It's very easy to use a pair of tongs and scrape up the burnt food from the inside of the griddle, but since there is no grill basket, food that has stuck to the sides can easily fall out onto the floor. Food that's stuck to the griddle can also be difficult to clean up, especially if there is a significant amount of fat on the pieces. Using spatulas and forks will help to remove and absorb as much of the drippings as possible. After using the spatulas and forks, it is necessary to carefully wipe the griddle with paper towels so that any excess grease or spilled sauce is removed. Once the griddle is clear, it's also important to dry the cooking area to prevent any drips or splatters from occurring during the next cooking session.
