1. Grill wok
Nonstick grill woks have small holes that allow smoke in, but don't let food out. They're great for barbecued fajitas and grilled vegetables. And the holes also allow some of the fat to drain out, making it a great way to cook light.

2. Kebab basket
Simply lay your vegetable- or meat-filled skewers in this metal frame, and they'll cook evenly above the flame. They won't stick to the grates, and when you're ready to flip your kebabs, just roll a gloved hand (see fire-retardant mitt, below) over the top of the skewer rods.

3. Fish basket
It's a sad fact: unless you use a lot of fat, delicate fish can stick to the grill. This gadget saves you from that heartbreak. And a tip for vegetable lovers: You can also buy a similar basket for grilled mushrooms, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and onions.

4. Fire-retardant mitt
Regular oven mitts won't protect you when you're reaching over an open flame. Buy a fire-retardant one for the grill, and make sure it comes up to your elbow.

5. Large spatula
Burgers won't slip through the grates if you use a long-handled, broad spatula. And while you're in the utensil department, get a pair of long tongs with a good grip.

6. Meat thermometer
If you love your burgers cooked medium-rare, there's nothing worse than biting into a well-done hockey puck. Make sure food is cooked perfectly by keeping a reliable meat thermometer handy.

Outside-In Cheeseburger Patty* PER SERVING (1 patty): 179 calories, 6.5g fat, 502mg sodium, 1.5g carbs, 0g fiber, 1g sugars, 26.5g protein -- POINTS® value 4* Is it offensive that we stuffed something labeled "Laughing Cow" inside a ball of beef? Perhaps... but it's DELICIOUS! Ingredients: 4 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef 1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese, room temperature 1/8 tsp. garlic powder 1/8 tsp. onion powder 1/8 tsp. Worcestershire sauce dash salt, or more to taste dash black pepper, or more to taste Directions: In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except the cheese. Add as much salt and pepper as you like. Knead mixture by hand until integrated. Form into a ball and, using your thumb, make a large, hollow indentation in the ball (past the center but not all the way through). Fill the hole with cheese and squeeze the meat to seal, making sure no cheese is exposed. Flatten slightly into a thick patty. Bring a pan misted with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. (Use a grill pan if you've got one.) Place patty in the pan, cover, and cook for 4 - 7 minutes per side, depending on how well done you like your burger. Heads Up: Don't press on the patty with your spatula (your burger might ooze cheese!). Serve however you like your burger... We like ours with ketchup and pickles between giant leaves of lettuce!
