Why Choose the MO70?
Unlike traditional grills, the MO70 provides a smooth teppanyaki cooking surface that is ideal for hibachi cooking, breakfast foods, seafood, vegetables, fried rice, appetizers, and more. The round design encourages social cooking and gives multiple guests access to the cooking surface at the same time.
The dedicated center hot spot provides concentrated heat for searing while the surrounding area functions as a warming zone, allowing you to cook and hold food simultaneously. Because the unit operates on electricity, there are no gas lines, burners, or ignition systems to maintain.
Unique Thermal-Dip Design
One of the unique engineering features of the Cook-N-Dine MO70 is the way the cooking surface gently forms a shallow dip in the center when heated. This is an intentional design feature and not a defect.
As the solid V2A stainless steel reaches operating temperature, controlled thermal movement creates a subtle concave cooking surface that helps keep oils, sauces, and ingredients centered on the cooking area.
This design helps prevent liquids from running off the edge, keeps food positioned over the hot spot, reduces splatter, and improves control when cooking vegetables, rice, eggs, seafood, and proteins. Once the unit cools, the cooking surface returns to its original flat shape.
Why Does the MO70 Cost More Than a Traditional Griddle?
The Cook-N-Dine MO70 is not a standard flat-top griddle. It is a specialty-built teppanyaki cooking appliance engineered for luxury outdoor kitchens, custom dining tables, and high-end entertaining spaces.
Unlike mass-produced griddles, the MO70 is manufactured from premium V2A German stainless steel, utilizes a fully enclosed and insulated heating system, and incorporates proprietary thermal-dip technology that helps keep oils, sauces, and ingredients centered on the cooking surface during operation.
The round design, dedicated center hot spot, surrounding warming zone, and built-in installation flexibility make the MO70 a unique product with few direct competitors. It is designed for customers seeking an interactive teppanyaki cooking experience rather than a conventional flat-top griddle.
Installation & Applications
The compact round design makes the MO70 ideal for indoor or outdoor kitchen islands, custom dining tables, boat galleys, BBQ islands, and other specialty installations. The included stainless steel Control Box B can be mounted separately for convenient temperature adjustment.
Installation requires a standard 120V, 20-amp dedicated circuit. A 240V version is also available by special order.
Important Installation Note
The MO70 is designed as a built-in appliance and requires a countertop cutout for installation. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper electrical connections and adequate ventilation around the unit.
