Some people just are not any good at outdoor cooking. When camping, their marshmallow falls into the fire every time.

Or take them to a tailgate and the shish kabob they brought slips through the grate and ends up in the coals.

The Evo grills, available from Nomalon Imports , aim to solve the problems associated with outdoor cooking and a whole lot more by taking part of the kitchen and bringing it outdoors.

Finally, the s'mores-challenged among us can cheat and just fire up the flattop grill, making for quick and easy treats without needlessly sacrificing any more innocent marshmallows.

Not content to keep it out of the kitchen though, Evo offer indoor and built-in varieties of these presentation grills.

In total, there are six new designs that aim to serve as a central and participatory experience. The solid steel cooking surfaces are round and good-looking, allowing for several people to get together and cook at once.

People can chat with their friends as they each cook their own dishes to their particular taste. Or unleash the inner Rachel Ray or Mario Batali and host a cooking demonstration.
