When you just can't get outside to grill, try one of these excellent indoor electric grills. While you won't get the authentic flavor you can still grill. Some of these units are open grills that you cook on similar to an outdoor grill. Others are contact grills (like the George Foreman Grill) that have a lid that cooks also, so you can grill on both sides at the same time. Many of these units are perfect for grilling a fish fillet and making a great panini style sandwich.

 ​You can't make barbecue in the oven, but you can make great ribs that and nearly barbecue. Follow these steps to the next best thing.

Before I even start, you can't use your outdoor grill inside, even in your garage. Charcoal and gas grills produce large amounts of carbon monoxide and even small amounts can kill you. I know this might seem obvious to you, but every year a dozen people are killed using an outdoor grill inside. Indoor grilling must be done on a grill or grill pan designed for indoor grilling.

Sometimes a grill pan is exactly what you need to simulate outdoor cooking when that just isn't an option. These are the best grill pans you can buy.
