Savor the Taste of Summer All Year Round With These Countertop and Stovetop Grills

Yes, the Skinny Grill is gorgeous (look at all those colors!) and it's also a favorite with Kitchn readers, thanks to Le Creuset's renowned cast-iron construction, which distributes heat evenly and can go from the stovetop to the oven. And, with those raised grill ridges, you’ll get a perfect sear on your filet. Plus, the grill is small, so it can easily slide into a shelf for easy storage.

Another wonderfully compact pick for tiny balconies or easy transportation is the Weber Lumin grill. Recently, we deemed it the best electric grill for small spaces thanks to its ability to reach temperatures over 600°F, as well as its porcelain-enameled cast iron cooking grates. You can smoke, steam, or broil with various cook settings and even achieve those appetizing sear marks on your veggies and cuts of meat. It also doesn't hurt that the grill comes in a handful of fun, unconventional colors, like ice blue and seafoam green.

With a 10-inch grilling surface, Staub’s Pure Grill is a perfectly sized pan for cooking meals for two.

Thanks to grill plates that switch out and a lid that opens flat like a magazine, you have multiple options when it comes to using this versatile countertop Griddler.

This might look like a cool, retro suitcase, but with the snap of a strap, Mon Oncle’s perforated case transforms into a tabletop BBQ. The exterior case keeps the outside cool while allowing the coals inside to stay hot. And although you can use regular charcoal with this grill, Mon Oncle recommends coconut shell ecological charcoal instead.

It looks like a bucket (you can carry it like one!), but it’s actually a tabletop grill that sits inside a sleek powder coated steel bowl. Thanks to the included cork trivet, this portable grill is safe enough to use on your countertop or dining table, making it perfect for an end-of-meal s’mores surprise or a Korean BBQ fest.
