Cuisinart Hot Dog Roller

Get your hot dogs here! With the Cuisinart Hot Dog Roller ($19.99), you can evenly cook hot dogs over your grill's open flame with ease and confidence. Load five dogs onto the rollers in a cinch to keep them far from both the grill's dirty grate and open flame for char-free franks. While ballparks now cannot hold a candle to your mad doggin' skills, you can still look to them for inspiration for how to further knock your guests' taste buds out of the park.

Cuisinart Cast-Iron Grill Press

If you're look to maintain your beach body without compromising your summer grilling experiences, don't just keep pressing weights. Use the Cuisinart Cast-Iron Grill Press ($19.15) to melt away the fat on all of your meats. Heating up the grooves on your press can reduce cooking time and create perfect grill marks on the top part of your meat while its bottom half sizzles away. Want to get even more creative? Throw a summer panini on the rack and use the press for a perfectly grilled sandwich. 

Grill Daddy Pro Brush

No matter your proficiency for elbow grease, the caked-on mess a grill can leave behind could put the best scrubber to shame. Granted, there are plenty of ways to keep your grill squeaky-clean and food-safe without a grill brush, but the Grill Daddy Pro Brush ($22.71) is still a splendid gadget to own. Stainless steel bristles make this tool cast-iron-safe, and it's innovatively powered by steam to remove the toughest baked-on grease.

Finger lickin' good and seductively succulent, ribs on the grate should be a summer staple in your home. Grilling ribs is truly an art form, since ribs were meant to be enjoyed after hours of low temperature cooking. A Folding Rib Rack ($14.99) places your ribs upright for easy basting and far from the flame to prevent charring, even when left on the grill for longer sessions. After you've cooked up your ssignature summer dish, you can easily transport it from flame to table with its convenient handles. When you're done, pack it away neatly by simply folding it up.

Cuisinart Potato Rack

Baked potatoes and steak are the peanut butter and jelly of the grilling world. But when the grill is already fired up, who wants to run inside to wait for forever for a baked potato cooking away in the oven? Do not fear the open flames for your spuds with the Cuisinart Potato Rack ($15.23), a simple stainless steel accessory that will help cook your potato evenly, quickly, and infuse it with seriously smoky flavor. To kick up the average baked potato, try adding fresh summer ingredients to enhance the already flavorful side dish.

Do your grill a favor and invest in the Cast-Iron Double Burger Griller ($23.99) so you can enjoy evenly cooked, less fattening beef patties. You could even forget the beef and treat yourself to a flavorful salmon burger that everyone will enjoy.

Cherry Grilling Papers

Throwing your favorite meat on the grill is not enough to get that smoky flavor you crave.

It proves to be perfect for transporting and carving grilled goodies, like whole roasted turkeys.

Folding Leg or Wing Rack

But a tool like the Folding Leg or Wing Rack ($5.50) makes it possible, as it vertically suspends wings or legs inside the grill and requires no turning.

Grill Floss Grill Grate Cleaning Tool
