The Everdure "e" series was created for those of us who appreciate gadgets that combine practical designs with modern features. Modeled after minimalist Danish designs of the 1940s and 1950s, the series provides a huge list of available features in very small packaging.

The series includes three sizes: the e7 and e5 have larger cooking surfaces with more burners, while the smaller e2 offers many of the same features in a grill with a smaller footprint. The e2 and e7 sport a ton of innovative features, including mult-e-cook heat control system for temperature regulation; a patent-pending mult-e-cook system, which allows you to wok, smoke, roast, cook pizza, and bake; and a patent-pending health-e-grill with a tilted surface, which drains fat away from your food as it cooks.
The e2 is missing the mult-e-cook, but makes up for it with its mult-e-plate, providing for easy transitions between hot plate and grill, and it also comes with flame failure valves that shut gas off when flames are blown out.
All three models also share several bells and whistles, including warming racks, esee integrated lighting, slide-out serveries, a stainless steel hood, and an integrated cleaning system.

OK, so maybe it's not the most practical of grill designs, but what this Heibe Solino swinging basket grill lacks in practicality, it definitely makes up for in style.
The grill has a fixed-height bin that's filled with charcoal and can be removed easily when you want to empty it. The height of the suspended meats and veggies on the 50-centimeter diameter chrome-plated grate can be varied, letting you adjust the cooking time and temperature.
Maybe you won't be able to feed a big backyard crowd with this pint-sized swinging grill, but you'll be able to impart all of the smoky flavor without taking up 8 to 10 square feet of patio space.
Here's my only question: if food is stuck to the grating, do you have to grab the side of the basket with a mitt for scraping leverage?
Delicious and easy.

Of course, this scene would not be complete without the grill fired up, permeating the air with the scent of delicious foods cooking. Survey the grill-top, and we find hotdogs, hamburgers, steaks, and chicken. But where are the vegetables?
No longer must vegetables be relegated to "after-the-meat-is-done" status. The Mesh Grill-Top Chef's Pan is perfect for cooking up a batch of healthy vegetables on the grill. The heavy-gauge stainless-steel mesh keeps veggies corralled in one convenient device. Complete with removable lid, the pan makes it easy to stir, sauce, and season your favorite vegetables right on the grill. Best of all for you vegetarians out there, no more attempting to cordon off a "vegetable zone" among all the meat.
The Mesh Grill Chef's Pan brings the convenience of indoor cooking to the outside grill. With a long handle for easy grasping along with a 12-inch diameter and 8-inch height, the pan makes it easy to introduce some vegetables to the grill. Since grilling season is just beginning, now is the perfect time to invite some veggies to the party.

KitchenAid has given us another reason to celebrate the coming of summer (as if we needed another reason). With a massive cooking area of 48 inches, this Freestanding Grill has the potential to make your barbecues the talk of the town.
Its triple burner system provides higher heat to your burgers so they can have a nice char for maximum flavor. If the old-fashioned way of charring doesn't suit you, you can use the integrated infrared sear burner, which reaches superhigh temperatures quickly and lets you sear food much faster. The grill also touts something called Even-Heat, which provides for more even heating across the cooking area, so you won't have to make people choose between dogs that are either underdone or charred and peeling.
Another neat feature is the integrated warming drawer, which keeps foods that are already cooked warm. So, your guests can all eat at the same time, and no unlucky soul has to be the last in line for dinner.
You can pick one of these bad boys up at any appliance dealer that sells KitchenAid. And if you do, let me know when you're hosting a cookout.
Just add fun.

Spring has sprung, the baseball season is about to get underway, and everywhere people are going to be spending more time outside. Those people are going to be hungry. Nothing beats spending a warm afternoon surrounded by fresh air and the sweet smell of grilled meats and vegetables. This year, plan on taking your grilling show on the road and really perk up your picnics.
