How To Create The Healthiest Kitchen Ever

Article by Margaux Lushing – Forbes Magazine

 

“Maybe those influencers posting food shots in perfect, new kitchenscapes and fridge selfies full of produce are onto something. A recent study by Houzz found that new kitchens actually lead to healthier lifestyles. The survey of more than 2,700 U.S. homeowners using Houzz who are in the midst of, or recently completed a kitchen renovation project revealed that a third of kitchen updaters report a healthier lifestyle post-renovation (33%). Even small tweaks to the kitchen can result in a healthier 2019, like changing paint colors or upgrading dinnerware. While a full kitchen overhaul might be too big of an endeavor to tackle in a weekend, here are some easy ways to healthify your kitchen space, from paint to platters to easy nutrition hacks.”

 

Healthify your cooking tools

“Air fryers are having a moment on Instagram for a good reason. These oil-free fryers make it easy to cook crunchy, satiating foods with the feel of fried, but without the bad fats and messiness.

Similarly, the new StacKEN by Kenyon cookware line is made with a proprietary Vapor®technology that makes it possible to cook without oils or butter. The stackability of each pot and pan in the line means less space is required for storage – perfect for smaller kitchen spaces.”

Hosting a squad of football fans for the Championship game? Get ready to score some serious points with a touchdown worthy, crowd pleasing, Kenyon electric grilling station for home tailgating at it’s finest.


Grilling Station

The best part about watching football, besides cheering on your favorite team, is the classic game day comfort food! Get creative and set up an interactive electric grilling station to keep your guests entertained during any down time or half time. Plate a variety of assorted ingredients (pre-cook any meats) so guests can prepare and grill anything from personalized mini pizzas, burgers, hotdogs, pigs in a blanket, sandwich melts and more! Sit back and let the crowd go wild.


Pregame Prep

Huddle up your team and decide on the menu in advance. Make your ultimate shopping list, draft your grilling quarterback and get your food in formation ahead of the game.

Focus on appetizers and foods that are easy to pick up with out the need for utensils.

Make sure there is something for everyone on your guest list, including kids, vegetarians or anyone with dietary restrictions.

Go the Extra Yard

Get in the spirit and help cheer on your team from home with balloons, tablecloths, streamers and pennants in your team colors. For the divided household,  split your table at the 5o yard line and represent each team/color per side.

Make sure the traffic flow for the food is setup far enough away from the television, you don’t want any hungry guests intercepting the view!

Sidelines

Have your food ready to go on the grill sidelines. Prepare and plate each dish and cover with aluminum foil. Make sure your meat is pre-marinated or seasoned and has reached room temperature just before placing on the grill.

Got a beverage on hand? Of course you do! So why not pour a little into the grill’s drip tray? Water already needs to be added, but by pairing either beer, wine, or soda you can compliment and infuse flavor to your grilled food.


Now give yourself a high five because you just WON the day!  Now whether or not your team did, that’s another story…

Connecticut-based Kenyon Grills is a 90-year-old business with a winding history and a lucrative partnership with America’s best baseball team.

 

“Just one thing would have made Phillip Williams, president and co-owner of Kenyon Grills, happier than the Boston Red Sox’s World Series win this year. That is if it had occurred at home. Williams’s company makes the team’s official grill, and the first base-side deck at Fenway Park is plastered with its signs. Fans chomp burgers and fries under Kenyon-logoed umbrellas.

Kenyon makes fast-heating electric grills, in both portable and built-in models. The company has seen grill sales increase 60 percent since the partnership with the Red Sox kicked off in the spring. In addition to Fenway visitors, hundreds of thousands have seen its ads on Boston’s regional sports network or watched Williams’s son, who is chief marketing officer, interviewed during games. “We’ve gotten feedback from all over the country,” Williams says. “It has been very, very rewarding and definitely paid for itself.”

Kenyon’s newfound fame among Red Sox Nation culminates nearly 90 years of product invention and business reinvention. In that time the company, founded by a prolific inventor and his daredevil pilot wife, churned out air and marine instruments used by the military; camera stabilizers used by adventuresome journalists; and elegant cooktops used everywhere from yachts to senior communities.”

STACKEN SKILLET JAMBALAYA

Leading grill manufacturer reveals high-end portable cookware, featuring cutting-edge Vapor® technology for healthier cooking and a stackable design for space efficiency

 

CLINTON, CT – November 13, 2018 Kenyon International, Inc., a specialty electric grill and cooktop manufacturer, announces its newest product line, StacKEN, featuring high-performance and compact cookware. Now available to purchase on Kenyon’s website, each specialty cookware product uses innovative Vapor® technology, a revolutionary cooking method that boosts food flavors with less energy and fewer ingredients than traditional methods. This process makes it easier to cook healthier meals, using less fat and oils, while retaining the beneficial nutrients in foods.

At the center of the brand is the StacKEN Essentials set, which includes two stackable sauce pans with removable handles and lids, protective inserts for each stainless-steel cookware piece, and a soft storage cooler. Saving up to 50 percent of cooking and storage space with its stackable design, StacKEN Essentials is ideal for any small kitchen, backyard, balcony, RV or boat. The StacKEN line also offers individual skillets, woks and stockpots for completing any cookware collection.

“We wanted to design cookware to match the caliber and versatility of our existing cooking appliances, and StacKEN meets that vision with its high-tech, multi-functional design,” said Phil Williams, president at Kenyon International, Inc. “The StacKEN line is crafted with quality and convenience in mind, helping consumers cook efficiently and enjoy flavor-packed, healthy meals just about anywhere.”

Each StacKEN product is engineered 
from multiple layers of the highest-quality,
American-made metals, beginning with
a bonded core of aluminum and finished with an exterior layer of sleek, stainless steel. This multi-ply construction, combined with the proper consistency and shape, properly outfits the cookware for Vapor® cooking. While traditional cookware allows moisture to escape out of the pan, Vapor® technology seals in moisture, flavor and nutrients. Using this sealed moisture as a cooking medium, no added water, butter, oil, or cooking fat is necessary during the cooking process.

“By incorporating Vapor® technology into its design, StacKEN offers a simple solution for making meals healthier and tastier than ever before,” adds Williams. “We’re excited to deliver this cutting-edge cooking method through durable cookware that is as functional as it is beautiful.”

With the introduction of StacKEN, Kenyon continues its dedication to product ingenuity and its mission to provide top-of-the-line grilling and cooking options to its customers. The existing Kenyon product line includes premium electric grills and ceramic glass cooktops, designed with the latest cooking technology and available in an assortment of portable or built-in models to fit every individual’s cooking needs. The company also engineers high-quality grilling and cooking accessories.

About Kenyon

Kenyon began as a small manufacturer of aviation and marine instruments in 1931. As business developed they led the way with the breakthrough development of ceramic glass cooktops for the high seas, becoming the standard for yachts around the world. The immense popularity of the cooktops led to a high-demand for shore-side models to be enjoyed in homes. From here, Kenyon began manufacturing smokeless and flameless electric grills that are safe for indoor grilling on boats, in RVS or right in your own kitchen.
