Outdoor grilling season may be coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean the barbecue is over. (If you live in an apartment and don’t have a patio or backyard, you’re in luck, too.) Philips Indoor Grill ($300 to $350) is a countertop appliance that heats up quickly to 446 degrees, and maintains the temperature without charcoal or gas, to produce delicious seared foods with nearly no smoke. The grill uses advanced infrared technology and special reflectors that guide the heat toward the grate. The tray below collects cooking juices and oils, and stays cool so they don’t sizzle, minimizing smoke and splattering. Two grates are included: One that’s cast aluminum for steaks, burgers, and chicken, and another, which is stainless steel, for delicate fish or veggies. The drip tray is easy to remove for cleaning. Now you can grill year-round. Available at Williams-Sonoma store locations; or go to www.usa.philips.com.ANN TRIEGER KURLAND
