Cook-N-Dine Grill

The Cook-N-Dine is a stainless steel round table with a built-in grill in the center of the table. When not in use, the table is perfectly flat and you can't even see the grill -- but when you start cooking, the cooking surface dips down to become a concave grill that keeps juices from spilling all over the table. There's even a warming area between the grill and the dining area, to keep just-grilled food warm while cooking new ingredients.

At a whopping $2,475, the Cook-N-Dine isn't for the faint of heart, but this German-engineered product (the company also makes parts for Mercedes and BMW automobiles) is as high-tech as BBQ grills come. www.cook-n-dine-usa.com
