Portable Teppanyaki Grill | Model PU-80

The UltraDine® Teppanyaki BBQ Grill was originally developed and launched by Paul Schact way back in the 80s and its unique technology has now become the gold standard in single plate cooking with regularly consistent uptake and usage across the world.

Before turning his hand to cooking, Paul Schact III was a leading engineer / industrial designer and one of the first automobile tuning professionals in Europe. His expertise was almost a given with a family tradition of expertise in engineering. His grandfather, Paul Schacht I, founded the family business in 1887 in Stendal, Germany, manufacturing fancy horse carriages and offered leather upholstery as well as paint services. When the automobile gradually took over, the company quickly adjusted to the demand of this new industry era. It was Paul Schact III who delivered Mercedes a world record for straight-off-the-assembly-line sedans and continued to do so for many years, specifically the world records achieved with the famed Mercedes Benz 190 sedan.

Next to his passion for automobiles was his love of cooking. Paul loved the whole cooking process but lamented standing alone in the kitchen while his guests lingered elsewhere in the house waiting for their meals. As a lover of single-dish cooking, he researched the Teppanyaki style of cooking and used his famed engineering skills to develop a cooking device that is not only sleek and elegant in design but is absolutely unique in its operation.
