I am currently in the process of planning out my summer hosting, picking out the essentials and planning the menus for evenings spent in the yard with friends. One thing I already know for certain is that I do not want to be standing over a slow-heating grill while everything else is happening around me.
The solution is a cast-iron griddle, such as the Le Creuset Alpine Griddle. It heats quickly, retains heat efficiently, and delivers consistent, even cooking. Even compared to the best grills, it is especially useful when timing matters, and you are cooking under pressure.
