When you buy a Kenyon grill it comes with the classic grilling grate, but what you may or may not know is that we offer a griddle attachment too! This is a direct replacement for the cooking grate on ALL of Kenyon’s electric grills. Simply remove the grate and place the griddle in its spot and you’re ready to cook!
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why shouldn’t we make it the most fun? Go from flipping burgers to making pancakes without leaving the backyard. Use the smooth griddle for eggs and pancakes (or anything else you wish to cook on a flat surface).
We wouldn’t want you to waste time on cleaning up either. Just pop the griddle in the dishwasher while you sit back and enjoy the (grilled) fruits of your labor.

A Guide for Operators, Developers, and Designers
Senior living and assisted living environments are evolving to support independence, safety, and quality of life for residents. One area that requires thoughtful planning is the design of in-unit kitchens and shared cooking spaces.
Residents want the ability to cook simple meals or prepare snacks independently, but operators and developers must balance this with risk management, accessibility requirements, and long-term operational safety.
Thoughtful appliance selection and layout planning can make a significant difference in creating kitchens that are both resident-friendly and compliant with accessibility standards.

Planning Ahead: Designing Kitchens for Long-Term Accessibility
Senior living communities often serve residents with varying levels of mobility and ability. Designing kitchens with accessibility in mind from the beginning helps ensure spaces remain usable as residents’ needs change over time.
Early planning can help teams:
- Avoid costly retrofits later
- Improve compliance readiness
- Reduce operational safety risks
- Create more inclusive living environments
Accessible design is not only about meeting current requirements—it’s about building spaces that continue to serve residents safely over time.
.
ADA Considerations for Accessible Kitchens
When designing kitchens in senior or assisted living environments, accessibility should be addressed early in the process.
Key considerations include:
Reachable Controls
Controls should be accessible without excessive bending or reaching.
Front or Side Control Placement
Front-mounted controls allow operation without reaching across hot surfaces.
Clear Floor Space
Layouts should allow safe maneuverability for wheelchairs or walkers.
Easy-to-Operate Components
Controls should require minimal force and be intuitive to use.
While ADA compliance involves many aspects of kitchen design, appliance selection can play a significant role in overall accessibility and safety.
.
ADA-Compliant Cooking Solutions
Appliances designed with accessibility in mind can help support safer, more usable kitchens in senior living environments.
Features commonly associated with ADA-friendly cooking appliances include:
- Front-mounted controls
- Accessible handle options
- Smooth cooking surfaces
- Electric cooking technology that eliminates open flame
These design elements can make cooking surfaces easier to operate and safer for residents with limited mobility or dexterity.
Kenyon offers a range of ADA-compliant electric grills and cooktops designed for accessible kitchens, supporting residential, hospitality, and institutional environments.
You can explore available models and accessibility features on our ADA-Compliant Grills and Cooktops for Every Space page.
These appliances are designed to support safe, functional cooking spaces while helping developers and operators meet accessibility goals.
.
Supporting Independence for Residents
One of the goals of modern senior living communities is supporting resident autonomy while maintaining a safe environment.
Accessible cooking spaces allow residents to:
- Prepare simple meals or snacks
- Maintain daily routines
- Participate in cooking activities
- Feel more comfortable and independent in their living spaces
Well-designed kitchens can enhance the overall resident experience while helping operators maintain safety standards.
.
Design Features That Support Accessibility
When evaluating appliances for senior living kitchens, several design features can make daily cooking easier and safer for residents.
Accessible Control Design
Front-facing controls can reduce the need to reach across hot cooking surfaces.
Clear Visual Indicators
High-contrast indicators, lighting, or control markings help residents easily identify settings.
Smooth, Easy-to-Clean Surfaces
Flat cooking surfaces allow for quick cleaning and reduce the effort required for maintenance.
Reduced Burn Risk
Appliances designed to minimize exposed heat sources can help reduce burn hazards.
Durable Construction
Senior living kitchens often experience frequent use. Durable materials help reduce long-term maintenance needs.
These design considerations help create kitchens that are more usable for residents while also easier for staff to manage.
.
Why Kitchen Safety Matters in Senior Living Design
Cooking areas introduce several potential risks in senior living communities, including:
- Burn hazards
- Fire risk from open flames
- Difficulty operating traditional appliances
- Limited mobility or dexterity challenges
- Visibility and accessibility issues
For operators, these risks also translate to liability concerns, insurance considerations, and regulatory compliance requirements.
Designing safer cooking environments helps communities:
- Support resident independence
- Reduce operational risk
- Improve accessibility for a wider range of residents
- Meet ADA accessibility guidelines
Appliance technology plays an important role in helping reduce these risks.
.
Reducing Risk with Modern Electric Cooking Technology
Traditional gas appliances introduce open flames and exposed heating elements that can increase risk in environments where residents may have reduced mobility, slower reaction times, or limited dexterity.
Modern electric cooking technologies offer alternatives that can help reduce these concerns.
Benefits of electric cooking appliances may include:
- No open flame
- Reduced flare-ups during cooking
- More consistent heating control
- Smooth cooking surfaces that are easier to clean
- Safer temperature control options
For many senior living developers and operators, electric cooking solutions provide a balance between safety, usability, and resident independence.
