Is UltraDine The Ultimate BBQ Grill?

Are you designing your new Outdoor Kitchen or updating your BBQ area & tossing up what type of BBQ to buy? With so many BBQs and grills on the market, from the classic charcoal BBQ to high-powered gas burners, finding the right one for your home can be tricky.

If you’re searching for the best BBQ grill in Australia, the UltraDine® Teppanyaki BBQ grill may just be the all-rounder you’ve been looking for. It combines versatility, power, and sleek design to create a truly unique outdoor cooking experience.

Can the UltraDine® be used as a traditional BBQ grill?

Many customers ask if the UltraDine® cooktop can be used for normal BBQ cooking – you know the steak, ribs, chops, fried eggs, bacon, sausages, prawns, chicken, hamburger patties and more.

The answer? Absolutely, yes!

The UltraDine® does everything a standard electric BBQ grill can do, and then some. It delivers the rich flavour of a grilled barbecue with the added benefit of flexibility and convenience. Whether you’re cooking breakfast for the family or preparing a feast for friends, this grill has you covered.

The secret behind UltraDine’s performance: ThermoFlex™ technology

So what makes the UltraDine® BBQ grill so special? The answer lies in its ThermoFlex™ shallow dip technology, a clever innovation that transforms the flat cooking plate into a functional cooking bowl when heated.

When the grill turns on, the plate bends gently to form a shallow dip. Think of it as the “Teppanyaki Wok” effect. This patented design allows juices, sauces, and marinades to pool naturally in the centre, enhancing flavour and reducing flare-ups, perfect for cooking anything from delicate seafood to saucy stir-fries.

Cooking with ThermoFlex™: The teppanyaki experience

With the ThermoFlex™ feature, your UltraDine BBQ plate becomes a mini wok, opening up endless culinary possibilities. It’s not just a BBQ, it’s a full-blown teppanyaki cooktop designed for creativity.

You can go beyond steaks and sausages to cook restaurant-quality meals right in your backyard. Think butter chicken, massaman curry, or Thai green curry sizzling away with authentic aromas.

Or, if you prefer quick weeknight meals, try a ginger-chilli beef stir-fry or a colourful vegetable medley. The shallow bowl design ensures your sauces stay on the plate, not the deck, while your ingredients cook evenly over high heat.

Seafood, meat, and everything in between

Seafood lovers, this one’s for you. The UltraDine BBQ grill handles prawns, lobster, and fish beautifully, and even allows you to steam fish for a lighter option. Just ass a little water to the centre “wok” section, cover your fish with a cloche, and let the gentle steam do the rest.

You won’t get that kind of versatility from most traditional BBQ grills.

And when it comes to meat, the grill’s even heat distribution ensures juicy steaks, tender chicken, and perfectly charred sausages every time. It’s powerful, reliable, and designed to impress your guests, whether you’re cooking for two or hosting the entire neighbourhood.

Don’t forget dessert: Yes, you can cook that too

Believe it or not, the UltraDine® BBQ grill isn’t just for savoury dishes. You can even use it to make desserts! If you’ve got a sweet tooth, try making Kaiserschmarrn, a fluffy Austrian pancake that caramelises beautifully on the teppanyaki surface.

You can also grill bananas with honey, cook buttery crepes, or make warm fruit compotes. It’s the perfect way to end your grilled barbecue feast — with something a little indulgent.

Unlock your inner foodie with outdoor cooking freedom

With the UltraDine Teppanyaki BBQ grill, you’re not limited to one cooking style. You can grill, steam, roast, fry, sauté, or even broil — all on one surface.

This freedom to experiment is what makes outdoor cooking so enjoyable. Whether you love the smoky depth of charcoal BBQs or the precision of electric BBQ grills, UltraDine brings both worlds together. It’s a convenient, low-maintenance alternative to bulky, traditional barbecues — while still delivering the flavour and fun Aussies love.

So, if you’re someone who enjoys experimenting with new techniques or creating memorable meals with friends, this cooktop will help you release your inner foodie.

Easy cleaning for effortless maintenance

One of the standout features of the UltraDine® BBQ grill is how easy it is to clean and maintain. After a long day of outdoor entertaining, nobody wants to spend ages scrubbing burnt food off the grill.

Luckily, the UltraDine makes cleaning simple:

1. Pour a small amount of warm water onto the still-warm surface.
2. Set the dial to level 3.
3. Use a non-scratch, straight-edged spatula to loosen food residue.
4. Carefully wipe away with a paper towel using tongs.

Always move in line with the grain for the best results — and for those who want to go the extra mile, there’s even a special cleaning kit designed for the stainless-steel teppanyaki plate.

Once the cooktop cools, it automatically flattens back to its original shape, ready for your next BBQ and grill session. It’s quick, safe, and designed for real-world use.

Compact, stylish, and designed for every home

Not every backyard has the same layout, and UltraDine has thought of that, too. The cooktops come in three sizes — from compact models perfect for apartments or small patios to large, cart-mounted units for serious entertainers.

Each design is sleek, modern, and engineered to blend seamlessly into any outdoor kitchen or camping setup. You can even take it on the road — imagine cooking a gourmet meal while camping under the stars or hosting a spontaneous beach barbecue.

For those looking for a portable BBQ grill that doesn’t compromise on power, performance, or style, UltraDine ticks every box.
