grills

For the friend who lives for the backyard grill, there's no shortage of ideas. Indulge him in gadgets that do the grunt work, like this electric vacuum marinator, or give him the chance to sample new flavors with applewood planks and citrus rosemary skewers. He can finish his signature dish with a monogrammed flourish. And when that grilled steak is ready to eat, your gifts will keep on giving.

Darden Restaurants announced that beginning next week, it will install wood-fired grills in all 680 Red Lobster restaurants.

The company has been testing the wood-grilled menu for over a year, and will train 3,500 employees on the grills. New items will be going on the menu, such as wood-grilled lobster, wood-grilled sirloin and shrimp, and wood-grilled fish. According to the chain's president, Kim Lopdrup:

This is the most comprehensive culinary and menu change in Red Lobster's history. Wood-fired grilling introduces our guests to a whole new way to enjoy seafood.

Red Lobster's announcement to add these costly new grills comes at a time when the casual restaurant chain industry has stumbled. Chains such as Bennigan's, Steak & Ale, Ponderosa, and Bonanza have all filed for bankruptcy protection in the past year. Do the wood-grilled menu items sound appetizing to you, and will they be enough to turn Red Lobster around?

Summer is all about grilling. But if you live in an apartment with limited space like I do, there isn't always room to grill outside. To bring the grilling inside, I'm looking for an indoor grill. Wanna help? Look for electric, indoor grills (like this powerful All-Clad Indoor Electric Grill by Williams-Sonoma) in any color, shape, or size. Bookmark everything you find in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Indoor Grills. Thanks for your help and happy hunting!

This Christmas season, give the grill master in your life a barbecue-related gift. He probably already has a grill, but what about a bbq pit? Or a portable grill? Or a grill pan for grilling indoors?

If he has every type of grill imaginable, give him the accessories that go with it. I'm planning on getting this lighted barbecue-thermometer fork for my bbq king. It's a digital thermometer that shows the temperature of probed meat or fish in just three seconds. A built-in flashlight makes it easy to read in the dark.

Warm weather really makes me want to get out of the kitchen, so thank goodness for portable grills that let me take my kitchen with me. When it comes to barbecuing outdoors, your choices range from cheap and disposable to expensive and luxurious, and all three of these grills cook up very tasty meat.

Good: When my friends and I gathered recently for a picnic in the park, one Weber grill devotee admitted that the sausages cooked on this Grill-N-Go Disposable Charcoal Grill ($8.99) tasted just as good as his. Plus, this version is lightweight and cleans up in a snap.
