Balcony BBQ: We Test 5 Hot Outdoor Electric Grills
Nothing says summer like having friends over for a backyard barbecue. But with more families in the U.S. choosing apartment living over home ownership, they quickly find this American pastime off-limits to them. However, outdoor electric-grill technology has come a long way in recent years, making these corded contenders a viable option for balcony barbecuers.*
To test the best, we gathered five outdoor electric grills and put them through their paces. We grilled corn on the cob (still in the husk), whole red peppers, veggie kebabs consisting of 1 to 2-inch slices of zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion, 1/4-lb. hamburger patties (80 percent lean), and boneless chicken breasts. We opted to keep it simpleâ"using only salt, pepper, and extra-virgin olive oil as seasoningsâ"and let the grills speak for themselves.
* Please check with your property manager to learn the requirements and fire codes for using an outdoor electric grill in your apartment complex. Use only as allowed.
