One Accessory. Endless Possibilities

 

Griddle cooking is everywhere—from viral smash‑burgers to stylish restaurant brunch spreads. Yet bulky, flame‑powered flat‑tops don’t belong on balconies or in compact kitchens. That’s where the Kenyon griddle shines: it gives you the same caramelization and searing magic in a sleek accessory that fits right into your Kenyon electric grill.

.


 

Why the Kenyon Griddle is the Smarter Flat-Top Alternative

 

1. Cook Anywhere

Balcony, boat, RV, kitchen counter — the flameless, smoke-free design works in places traditional flat tops can’t go.

2. All-Day Versatility

Pancakes, smash burgers, cheesesteaks, grilled veggies, seafood — the griddle makes it all easy.

3. Consistent Heat, Every Time

Even cooking surface = perfect browning and searing without hot spots.

4. Quick, Easy Cleanup

No scraping large surfaces or emptying grease buckets — just wipe down or place in the dishwasher.

5. Electric Convenience

No propane, gas, or charcoal needed — just plug in and cook. Safe for indoor use, and ready to go at the press of a button.

 

.


 

Griddle Cooking 101

  • Always add liquid to the drip tray (water, broth, beer, or wine). This regulates heat, prevents smoke, simplifies cleanup, and even infuses flavor.
  • Preheat thoroughly—6 to 8 minutes on medium-high ensures even cooking across the surface.
  • Create cooking zones—with our larger grills, use one side for searing and the other for warming or finishing.
  • Use the right tools—wide spatulas for perfect smashing and flipping, press weights for consistent sears, and silicone-tipped tongs for delicate handling.

 

Morning-to-Evening Griddle Recipes

Below are tasty ideas to showcase your griddle’s versatility:

 

1. Grilled Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast

A brunch or dessert winner featuring custardy bread, cream‑cheese, strawberries, and a dusting of icing sugar—all griddled to golden perfection.

When people think “grill flavor,” they often imagine open flames, clouds of smoke, and the unmistakable sizzle of fat hitting hot coals. It’s a fair question to ask: Can an electric grill deliver that same satisfying, bold taste? The short answer: yes. Let’s break down exactly how electric grills can bring the flavor—without the gas, charcoal, or flare-ups.

.


.

What Actually Makes Food Taste Grilled?

Before we dive into electric grills, let’s talk about what creates that signature grilled flavor:

  • High heat for caramelization – Searing temperatures cause the Maillard reaction, giving you those delicious brown bits and grill marks.
  • Juices and fats dripping away – When fat drips away rather than pooling, it prevents steaming and helps create that crispy, grilled texture.
  • Smoke and char (optional) – While some of that flavor comes from smoke, most comes from how the food is cooked over high heat and an open grate.

 

How an Electric Grill Delivers Grilled Flavor

Our electric grills are designed to mimic the best parts of traditional grilling:

  • Open grate design – Unlike a griddle or contact-style countertop grill, your food cooks on a grate over a concealed heating element. This means juices and fats drip away rather than pooling underneath, giving you that familiar grilled texture.
  • Searing temperatures – Our grills reach the high heat needed for real caramelization and authentic grill marks. You’ll get that satisfying crust on your burgers, steaks, or veggies.
  • Even, consistent heat – No hot or cold spots here. The entire grate heats evenly for a reliable grilling experience every time.
  • Optional griddle versatility – Want to switch things up? Our grills allow you to lift the grate and swap in an optional griddle insert, giving you the flexibility to cook everything from pancakes to stir-fry while still enjoying even, consistent heat.
  • No flare-ups, no gas, no hassle – You get the grilling performance without worrying about open flames or propane tanks.

 

What If You Want Smoky Flavor?

If smoky flavor is a must, electric grills still have you covered. You can infuse flavor by adding a few drops of liquid smoke, broth, or other aromatics directly to the drip tray. This lets subtle smoky or savory notes rise up as you cook—without the mess or hazard of managing actual smoke. Marinades, spice rubs, and finishing sauces are also great tools for dialing up that BBQ vibe.

 

.

Electric Grill vs. Griddle vs. Contact-Style Countertop Grill

 

Feature Electric Grill Griddle Contact-Style Countertop Grill
Open grate
Fat drainage ✅ (but with solid contact cooking)
Searing temp for grill marks
Smoky flavor option ✅ (via drip tray)
Griddle option ✅ (optional accessory)

 

Unlike standalone griddles or countertop contact grills, electric grills let you cook food over the heat rather than on it—but also give you the option to switch to a griddle when you want that style of cooking.

 

.

Final Tips for Great Flavor

  • Preheat your grill fully to ensure the best sear.
  • Don’t overcrowd the grate—let the heat work its magic.
  • Infuse flavor with creative drip tray additions like liquid smoke, broth, or herbs.
  • Finish with a bright hit of citrus or glaze to elevate your dish.

 


.

The Bottom Line

Electric grills prove you don’t need an open flame to achieve that grilled taste. With high heat, smart design, flexible cooking options, and a few flavor tricks, you can enjoy all the sizzle without the smoke—unless you choose to add it!

There’s nothing quite like a perfectly grilled steak — juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner behind the grill, these tips will help you master steak night using your Kenyon grill.

 

🎥 Watch our quick video guide for grilling steak to see these tips in action:

1. Choose the Right Cut

 

Your steak starts with your selection at the butcher or grocery store. Look for:

  • Thick cuts (at least 1 to 1.5 inches) for more even cooking.
  • Bright red flesh — a sign of freshness.
  • Rich marbling (those white flecks of fat running through the meat) — this adds tenderness and flavor.
  • Firm texture — the steak should spring back slightly when pressed.

 

2. Prepare Your Steak

 

Before the steak even hits the grill, set yourself up for success:

  • Let the meat come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps it cook more evenly.
  • Pat it dry with paper towels to remove surface moisture — key to getting that beautiful sear.
  • Season ahead of time. A generous sprinkle of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper is classic, but you can add your favorite dry rub too. Giving the seasoning time to absorb helps build flavor inside and out.

 

3. Enhance with Aromatics

 

One of the unique benefits of using a Kenyon grill is the drip tray. For extra flavor, try adding:

  • A splash of red wine or beef broth
  • Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic cloves
  • A few drops of liquid smoke (for a smoky essence without the fire)

These additions will infuse flavor into the steak as it cooks — no open flame needed!

Learn more about infusing flavor with your grill’s drip tray. 

 

 

4. Preheat Your Grill

 

Don’t rush this part! Preheat your Kenyon grill on high heat for 5-7 minutes with the lid closed. This ensures your cooking surface is hot enough to deliver a great sear and lock in those juices.

 

 

5. Grill Like a Pro

 

  • Place the steak on the hot grill and let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. Resist the urge to move it — this is how you get those perfect grill marks.
  • Flip and repeat on the other side.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature:
    • Rare: 125°F
    • Medium Rare: 135°F
    • Medium Well: 150°F
    • Well Done: 160°F

 

6. Let It Rest

 

After grilling, transfer your steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, so they don’t run out when you slice.

 

 

7. Slice Against the Grain

 

For maximum tenderness, slice the steak against the grain (cutting across the lines of muscle). This shortens the muscle fibers and makes every bite as tender as possible.

 

 


 

Final Thoughts

 

Grilling steak on your Kenyon grill is a simple, satisfying experience — no flames, no flare-ups, just clean, even heat. Whether you like yours rare or well-done, following these steps will help you nail the perfect steak, every time.

✨ Pro Tip

 

Grilling fruit works best on a clean, flat surface with steady heat—especially when you’re dealing with soft or sugary ingredients that can easily stick or burn.

That’s one reason we love using the Kenyon City Grill. It heats evenly, doesn’t flare up, and the non-stick grate makes cleanup super easy. Plus, it’s electric, so you can use it indoors or out—no propane tanks, no fire hazards, just simple grilling that works every time.

Listen: you haven’t lived if you haven’t cooked pizza on your grill. We’re serious. Grilling pizza is one of those magical cooking experiences that’s easy, fun, and gives you that perfect crispy, slightly smoky flavor that an oven just can’t match. Plus, it basically guarantees you’ll be the hero of every summer cookout.

.

Whether you’re making a Friday night dinner or hosting a backyard party, grilled pizza is simple to master with just a few tips.

 


.

1. Start With the Right Dough

You can use store-bought dough or make your own, but the key is to let it come to room temperature before grilling. This makes it easier to stretch and helps prevent shrinking on the grill.

 

2. Preheat Your Grill

Get your grill preheated to medium-high heat. The beauty of an electric grill is that you can control the temperature precisely—no flare-ups, no guesswork.

 

3. Oil It Up

Brush your dough lightly with olive oil before placing it on the grill. This prevents sticking and helps you get those beautiful grill marks.

 

4. Grill One Side First

Lay the oiled side of the dough directly on the grate. After a few minutes, when the bottom is set and has nice grill marks, flip it over and add your toppings.

 

5. Go Light on the Toppings

Less is more! Since you’re cooking fast, you don’t want to overload your pizza and risk a soggy crust.

 

6. Close the Lid

Once your toppings are on, close the lid to let everything melt and cook evenly. The enclosed heat acts like an outdoor pizza oven.

 

7. Experiment & Have Fun

The best part of grilled pizza is how versatile it is. You can go classic or get wildly creative. Need some inspiration? We’ve got you covered:

 

Grilled Pepperoni & Peppadew Pizza with Hot Honey

Sweet, spicy, and just a little fancy — this grilled pizza combines melty mozzarella, crispy pepperoni, tangy peppadews, and a drizzle of hot honey for the perfect balance of flavor.


Grilled Caprese Pizza

A fresh take on grilled pizza with creamy mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil, and a drizzle of balsamic for that classic summer vibe.


Grilled Breakfast Pizza

The ultimate brunch upgrade: grilled crust topped with eggs, breakfast sausage, gooey cheese, and your favorite morning toppings.


Grilled Peach and Berry Flatbread

Light, sweet, and perfect for summer — this flatbread pairs grilled peaches and fresh berries with just the right touch of honey.


Chocolate Hazelnut Naan Pizza

A sweet treat that’s as easy as it is delicious: creamy chocolate hazelnut spread layered on grilled naan, finished with fresh berries or chopped nuts.


Puff Pastry with Lemon Curd, Brie & Blueberries

A perfectly grilled pastry topped with rich brie, bright lemon curd, and juicy blueberries — elegant enough for guests, simple enough for any night.

8. Serve & Enjoy

Slice it up, serve it hot, and accept all the compliments coming your way. Bonus points for serving with a cold drink and some sunshine.

 


 

So fire up that grill and start experimenting. Because honestly, once you grill pizza, regular oven pizza just feels… a little sad.

We’re excited to share that Kenyon Grills was featured in a recent NPR article about the growing shift toward electric grilling as a cleaner, safer option for outdoor cooking.

 

The article, “Electric grills are a climate-friendly option to fossil fuel grills”, explores how consumers are replacing propane and charcoal grills with electric alternatives for convenience and to help reduce their carbon footprint.

 

NPR quotes Kenyon’s VP of Sales and Marketing, Mike Williams, on one of the biggest benefits:

“Electric grills, like Kenyon’s lineup, eliminate the risks associated with open flames, making them a wildfire-safe choice for outdoor cooking.”

The article also notes that Kenyon’s electric grill sales have risen more than 40% in the past three years, reflecting increased demand for climate-conscious and user-friendly options.
