8 Grilled Dishes to Make This Summer Using Outdoor Cookware

Grilled Pizza with Pesto and Zucchini

The perforated design of a pizza pan absorbs and transfers heat, producing a crisp, golden crust and perfectly cooked toppings.

Grilled Salt and Pepper Shrimp

Shrimp can be prone to both sticking on the grill as well as falling through a grill’s grates. This Grilled Salt and Pepper Shrimp recipe remedies those issues by using an outdoor fry pan. 

Mexican Grilled Corn

Whether it’s yellow or white, just-picked corn is one of life’s greatest pleasures. We prefer it licked by an open flame using a grill griddle, then slathered with mayonnaise and blanketed with cheese and chopped cilantro. 

Grilled Asparagus with Garlic and Lemon

Grill asparagus spears with garlic and olive oil, then add a sprinkling of lemon zest and juice. To prevent the spears from slipping through the grill grate, they’re cook them in an outdoor fry pan with a finely-perforated design that allows the food to become infused with delicious smoky flavor.

Baby Back Ribs with Bourbon-Black Pepper Sauce

Start a rack of ribs in the oven, where they can hang until they’re tender. Then finish them on the grill in a perforated roaster before brushing them with a bourbon-tinged barbecue sauce.

Grilled Sausage with Sweet Peppers

A large outdoor griddle is perfect for a dish of sausages, sliced onions and sweet peppers; you won’t lose any smaller bits to the fire. 

Grill-Roasted Chicken with Carrots and Potatoes

This whole chicken recipe, rubbed with North African ras el hanout spices, is even easier to prepare on the grill when you have a conical-shaped outdoor chicken roaster. 

Pizza Quattro Stagione

Literally “four seasons pizza,” a pizza quattro stagioni features four different toppings, one in each of the four quadrants of the pizza. Cooking the pizza over an open fire with a steel grill pan gives the pizza a slightly smoky flavor and a crisp crust.
