Whether it’s red or white, find out which foods pair best with your favorite wines.
All Kenyon grills come equipped with a drip tray feature to add liquid to prevent smoke and flareups from grease while you grill.
Due to the proximity of the tray to the heating element, the liquid will get warm and some of it will evaporate, which creates steam thus infusing a flare of flavor into your food.
Water will do just fine, but “wine not” bring your grilling to a whole new level by adding in some of you favorite wine.
Here are some suggestions on what wines to pair with your grilled foods:
Cabernet Sauvignon– Steak
Chardonnay– Tilapia, Chicken, Turkey
Merlot- Lamb, Salmon, Tuna
Pinot Grigio– Shellfish
Pinot Noir– Ham, Pork
Zinfandel– Ribs
Pop open a bottle, add a little wine to your grill and a WHOLE lot in your glass!
Sip, sip hooray!

The Manual wants you to have your best summer yet, so they’ve compiled a list of portable grills that fit your adventurous lifestyle.
“There’s nothing like a great meal to complement a great day, and there are few better ways to make a day great than by spending it outdoors with friends and family.
When you prepare fine foods at a campsite, picnic on a beach, or just hang out in your own backyard, cooking is part of the larger experience and becomes more of a pleasure than a task. That is, so long as you have a decent portable grill on which to do the cooking. I can tell you from plenty of personal experience that trying to cook with inferior equipment while you’re far afield is a recipe for white hot rage and under-cooked burgers.
If all you need to do is heat up water to rehydrate packs of camping food, then by all means, stick with a pocket-sized camp stove. If you want to grill up some ribeye, burgers, or salmon fillets while you’re away from it all, then one of these five portable grills will certainly serve all your al fresco cooking needs.”
“So for this one, you’ll need an outlet, limiting you to campsite with facilities, an RV, a cabin with power, or your own backyard. But what you lose in suitability for use in remote locations, you gain in amazing performance. This plug-in electric grill could well be the only grill you use at home thanks to its superb heat control and the high temperatures it can reach. You can clean the grate by hand or in the dishwasher; the drip trays last for many uses, but can be tossed once overly soiled. Shout out to Kenyon for keeping things simple: the grill is controlled with just one knob, which features an off position and eight different heat settings ranging from low to high. Also, this is the “Official Grill of the Boston Red Sox,” just FYI.”

These delicious food trends are hitting a ballpark near you this 2018 season. See how Kenyon grills makes the list in Boston.
“A new Major League Baseball season is set to begin, so that means — among many other things — it’s time for my annual strut through some of the new and ridiculous food items throughout the 30 MLB ballparks. By no means is this an all-encompassing trip, as that would be near impossible and be far too long for the 2018 Internet. We will be hitting on the overwhelming majority of the biggest and most absurd, though.
Confession: This is my favorite post to do every single season. Look, I love everything about my job and baseball is my biggest passion, but putting this together with all the ridiculous food items is all kinds of fun. Hopefully you have as much fun going through this as I did building it, though I doubt that’s even possible.”
Kenyon International, Inc., a leading specialty electric grill manufacturer, today announces its partnership with the famed Boston Red Sox. As the official grill of the Red Sox, Kenyon introduces fans and tailgating enthusiasts to its grilling recipes, flavors and cook-out necessities. Kenyon is known for offering the only portable, electric grills on the market that can be used both indoors and outdoors, and are virtually smokeless and flameless.
“We are very excited to partner with the Boston Red Sox and look forward to enhancing the game day experience for everyone with our quality grill products,” said Mike Williams, sales and marketing manager at Kenyon. “Thanks to our smokeless grills, fans can safely and comfortably grill and watch the game from their kitchen, backyard, apartment balcony or while tailgating. This partnership is so close to home as a Connecticut-based company, and we’re excited to tap into our regional sports community.”
Kenyon’s premium product line offers a wide range of grill options, based on individual needs. Two of the company’s most popular electric grills, the portable City Grill and built-in Texan Grill, heat up to 600 degrees in seven minutes and are easy to clean with non-stick grates. Additionally, Kenyon offers built-in cooktops for homes, RV’s, boats, hotels and resorts, as well as a variety of grilling accessories to complete the ultimate cook-out experience.
“We are excited to partner with a brand like Kenyon whose products are as much a herald of warm summer months as Red Sox baseball,” said Red Sox Executive Vice President Troup Parkinson. “We welcome them to the Red Sox family and look forward to working together during the 2018 season.”

See what Bad Beast BBQ has to say as he grills up a delicious, juicy steak indoors on a Kenyon Grill.
Coming in at #1 on the Men’s Fitness roundup of 9 indoor cooking tools for the ultimate party is the Kenyon City Grill!
The City Grill brings the bold grill flavors you crave all in the warmth of your own kitchen.
“Achieving real grilled meat flavor inside is no small feat. Usually, would-be pitmasters end up frantically opening windows before billowing smoke can trip the smoke detector’s shrill alarm. But Kenyon has figured out how to making grilling indoors a classy and decidedly low-smoke affair with its line of tabletop grills, like the City Grill. Just set the sleek, stainless-steel beauty on your counter and plug it in for an obsessively engineered grill top (it meets or exceeds city codes that ban open-flame cooking) with no flare ups and minimal smoke, all in the warmth of your own kitchen.”
“I am a professional chef and a true grillmeister. I live in a condo and had been searching for an electric grill but could not find anything that met my standards. Until now. I was seriously skeptical but ordered it anyway and to my surprise and delight this is a true instrument grade grill. The build quality is every bit the match of my $4000 DCS grill I have in storage. I also purchased the cart package which is beautifully engineered as well. I decided to give it a real test so I cooked a 32 oz bone-in ribeye. I did it sous vide but finished it on the grill. The big question was could I get a restaurant grade sear on it. To make things really challenging it was snowing outside. The cast aluminum grill acts as a true heat sink. The temperature reached 510 in a snow storm! I have a laboratory grade thermometer so this was for real. I wish I could post a picture. Absolutely perfect. The bonus was that I threw the grill in the dishwasher and dumped the drip pan and it looked as if it had never been used. This grill has exceed my expectations on every level.”

We have a beach side condo in Daytona Beach Florida. Electric grills are the only type of grill allowed. What is ideal about the Kenyon Grill technology is the following:
-Built to battle sea inflicted damage- good marine stainless steel will battle salt from sea
-Locking lid feature is a plus during high winds coming off ocean
-No flare up technology is huge–we rent our 3000 square foot condo on VRBO and that means heavy use of grill. The number one grill killer of grills and food is grease flame ups. The Kenyon design of positioning burner elements inside grate and use of disposable drip pans (make sure you put water in the pan) means you don’t have to have flames destroying your food or your heating elements.
-Sealed controls– these should hold up better than knobs
-Good training available on the web
-Very nice people work for Kenyon– call them and talk
I purchased two grills for my ocean balcony in Florida and I like them so much I plan to install one in my sunroom up North– yes you can use these grills indoors! Do the research- nothing beats the features of a Kenyon Grill!

Our first use of our Kenyon Grill was on Christmas Eve – we grilled an entire venison loin to perfection despite the frigid cold air temperatures with apple cider in the drip pan. The grill surface cleaned up well. I also got the grill cart, which was very easily assembled. Lastly, I interacted with customer service twice, and in each case, my issue (a question about shipping and a question about a discrepancy on pricing) was efficiently and completely addressed and in a friendly manner. Great product. Great company. I plan to get a built-in Kenyon for the roof deck of my city home.

2018…
is FINALLY here and it’s time to live up to those promises we made ourselves to eat healthier, workout (for real this time), look better and most importantly, feel better. And it’s easier than ever to be super motivated when that first week of January rolls in. Literally everyone is pumped and Pinterest boards are chock full of recipes, but the real goal is to keep it going strong throughout the entire year.
With the right tools you can set yourself up for success to lead a healthier lifestyle instead of attempting that quick diet fix we all hope will work but never really does, at least not effectively.
Every new year is a chance to do better. Leave the old year behind and get started on your best year (yet)!
Maybe your reason is to fit into your favorite pair of jeans again because legging are not pants. Maybe a health scare happened in your family making you realize how much better you can and absolutely should be doing for your own health. Maybe you just feel exhausted before the day even sets in. Or maybe you just want to improve upon the healthy foundation you’ve already created.
Whatever your reason, here’s a few good ways to get started:
Drink Water 💦
Think you drink enough water? Think again. When it comes to optimal hydration, make sure to follow this simple rule:
Consume half your body weight in fluid ounces of H2O
Example: 150lbs = 75 fl oz
Often when our bodies are lacking water we feel hungrier. You may even find yourself eating far less once you become properly hydrated.
Does drinking water still feel like a chore even though you know the benefits? Infuse fruit like watermelon, strawberry or blueberries for a splash of flavor and touch of sweetness.
Still can’t seem to do it? Try cutting in a low sugar fruit juice, like apple or grape, with an 80:20 water to juice ratio. Or purchase a “timed” water bottle that keeps a book mark of how much you should drink every hour.
Set an alarm for 1 hour before your newly designated bedtime, say 9pm, to get your pre-sleep rituals started. Power down all electronics early to soothe your eyes before turning in as blue lights emitted from devices can have a major affect on our quality of sleep.
Having trouble falling asleep at night?
Drink hot herbal teas (like Chamomile or Kava) with honey and a slice of lemon. The lemon will aid in digestion so you’ll have a better start, ahem, to your morning and the herbs will help to calm your nervous system preparing your body for relaxation.
Stretching your hamstrings, back and shoulders nightly will help release tension built up from your busy day and will signal your body to shut down, helping you fall into a regenerative sleep.
Make sure your room is set to a cooler temperature during the night. Put the thermostat on a schedule so this automatically happens.
Try a series of 10 second deep breathing intervals or listen to guided mediation/sleep music to lull yourself into a deep sleep.
“But it’s the weekend and I want to stay up late/wake up late!” Sure you could, but it won’t do you any good. As we grow older we realize our bodies thrive on a schedule. And you certainly can’t catch up on any missed sleep either. Too much sleep will make you feel groggy and lifeless and so will a lack of sleep. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each and every night, no more and no less.
Meal Planning and Shopping Lists 📝
Devise a meal plan in advance of the week ahead. Keep a magnetic notepad on the fridge detailing breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner and dessert selections for the entire week. You can also keep a digital version of your list, but seeing it on the fridge helps my family to stick with the plan and stay on track together. Most importantly this method minimizes food waste and we purchase only what we need on a given weekly basis.
Plan ahead and you’ll never find yourself asking “What’s for Dinner tonight?”
Once you’ve made your food plan of attack, go through each section and make a shopping list of all the ingredients you’ll need for every meal. Incorporate several of the same ingredients throughout the week to get the most out of your food and your budget (like proteins, salad, rice, fruit, vegetables, and eggs). Prepare and cut-up whatever you can ahead of time so it’s easy to grab and go during the hectic week ahead.
Tip: Try methodically putting your shopping list in order based on the store’s layout so you’re in and out with ease and confidence that all items have been purchased. Start the list with foods from the Produce/Deli section and end with Frozen and Dairy isles.
Make sure you stick to the list And ALWAYS eat something before you go into the grocery store!
Cooking on your grill is a great way to transform healthy foods and proteins into the perfect plate that never feels like a comprise. If you have a Kenyon grill you can keep your grill indoors and accessible on the kitchen counter along with other appliances you’ll need to have ready on the quick, like a blender, so preparation of your meals and snacks will feel almost effortless.
Add an assortment of spices, rubs and marinades to your protein of choice before grilling. Spices can be nutritionally valuable while adding a burst of flavor. Choose fresh or dried spices or get creative and make your own blends to keep on hand. A winter favorite in our household is Tumeric which contains powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, much needed during the cold and flu season.
Just Move It 💪
Dedicate a little time each day, at least 2o minutes, to some form of exercise. Invest in a pedometer to help keep you on track and accountable for your daily required movements, I.E 10,000 steps per day! And if you sit at a desk all day long you know this is an especially vital habit to get your blood flowing and to boost your metabolism.
Don’t neglect strength training! Weight lifting doesn’t have to be intimidating. No, you don’t have to lift like you’re in competition with everyone else in the gym and yes, woman need to lift weights too. After all, muscle burns fat!
Start with light weights or whatever weight level feels comfortable but with some added resistance. Slowly but surely increase the weight intervals or your reps as the weeks go on. DO NOT try to be a hero and lift too much weight too fast or your muscles will pull and tear and soreness will slow you down if not stall your progress. Avoid injury but don’t avoid strength training!
If you find yourself still unsure where to start, schedule a few sessions with a personal trainer to get you going in the right direction. Working out at home? Watch “how to videos” to make sure you are using correct form and posture. Or find a fitness-minded friend to workout with!
Now that you have a few solid basics down, set forth and be a better you!
