Fire Up the Grill in Apartment 1A

Compact enough for countertops, the Kenyon City Grill ($450; cookwithkenyon.com) is smokeless—and fire alarm-less—thanks to its protected electric coils and a water-filled drip tray. Made with a marine-grade stainless steel casing, this portable marvel also stands up to outdoor elements; its lid and removable, nonstick grate are a breeze to clean.
