If you've been following MasterChef over the years, you would have seen the use of traditional Hibachi grills pop up. And, if you're like us and you tend to be curious when it comes to kitchen appliances or finding new ways to prepare your favourite recipes, then you'll want to consider a Hibachi-style grill for your kitchen.
Hibachi grills are typically small and compact and feature a grill plate that sits on top of a ceramic bowl that's filled with burning charcoal. Designed to be placed on a tabletop so you can grill meats, vegetables and sometimes even rice right in front of you as you eat - talk about hot off the grill!

Plus, its interactive element means everyone can get involved when it comes to cooking/grilling.
