Apartment/ Condo Grilling

Apartment/Condo Grilling

   
There are a lot of perks for living in an apartment, but certainly on the flip side of that token, there are just as many drawbacks. While it's nice living in an area that's safe and houses what you need without having to worry about mortgages, property taxes, your own personal upkeep, it's also just as bothersome listening to neighbors stomp around above your head, the cramped spaces, and listening to other people's arguments through the paper-thin walls that separate you from another family.
But there are more perks to apartment living as well. For instance, your community could have a pool, a workout room, a laundry room for free either in your unit or on site. Plus they pay some of your extra bills like garbage or water right? All great things, but no matter which way you slice it, there will always be negatives. Like the fact that you can't have that dog or cat you always wanted, you don't have enough space to make a room dedicated simply to memorabilia or your own office. And generally, most apartment complexes nowadays won't let you have a grill on your balcony. They throw one charcoal grill down in the community area and expect that to be enough for an area that can house anywhere from the hundreds to the thousands of people. It isn't right and it isn't fair to you, the person who wants to grill and loves the taste of fresh barbecue. But, don't fret, because that's where the cast iron insert comes into play. The sturdy and compact insert fits into any of your twelve inch or larger skillet or 10.5" griddle. You'll have no problems cooking up anything you want for yourself or your guests should you have company over, and it will have that fresh, right off the grill taste you're craving, without having to fight the masses in your complex for that one beat up grill down by the pool.
We've all lived in or been in an apartment at least once or twice in our lives and understand that space isn't exactly abundant. Which is what's so great about the insert, because of its size, you can easily store it right inside your oven or any of the adjoining cupboards you have in your kitchen. Not to mention it's incredibly easy to clean by hand using a plastic scrub brush and you won't have to worry about busting out large grill brushes on your 5'X3' balcony. "I love grilling," an apartment dweller, Steve, told me. "But the downfall is that I live in an apartment that of course doesn't allow grilling due to local codes and laws. So they give us this really old grill that's pretty beat up and I just don't feel like going down there and using it. Plus, when it's raining or snowing or we have some sort of bad weather, I can just pop my insert right on a skillet or griddle in my kitchen and still get the type of food that I'm craving."
