Seem to recall seeing some info on tabletop cooking of beef after stone
was super heated.

There used to be an Australian themed restaurant in Pasadena, CA where they
did that. They placed a flat rock heated to 700º in front of you and served
your meat/ seafood raw. You grilled it yourself on the stone. It was very
popular place for a while. It looked to me like an accident waiting to
happen that would be cause for a lawsuit.

I think I mentioned this once before, but Sis and I wrangled tickets to
the Northwest Foodservice Show in 2002:

A vendor there had individual hot cooking stones, and we sampled some
beef and chicken, which was excellent. The thing about their stones
was that as long as your skin is dry, they won't burn you (I tried it),
but anything wet will cook. I won't claim to understand the physics
involved, but it was a neat demo...
