Texan IntelliKEN

The Robb Report is magazine on luxury living and products. The Kenyon Texan Electric Grill with IntelliKEN TouchTM is one of the high-tech grills mentioned in their article, “4 High-Tech Grills That Will Make You King of the Cutting-Edge Cookout.”

 

Designed and built in Connecticut, Kenyon’s latest model is fully electric. And while purists may bemoan the absence of wood or fire, the Texan Electric Grill is perfect for locations where open flames aren’t an option, including boats, RVs, and apartment balconies. The maritime-grill specialist recently upgraded its IntelliKEN Touch system, doubling the number of heat settings—up to 16—on its waterproof touch-control, for sharper precision. Yet the Intelliken Touch’s most tech-forward innovation is Kenyon Kitchen: an Alexa Skills feature that offers recipes, tips, and other instructions via simple voice commands.

clean grill

Here is everything you need to know about maintaining a clean grill.

 

Drip Tray 

 

Don’t forget about your drip tray contents! To ensure a fresh grilling session each time, completely empty and rinse out the drip tray after each use. 

 

Need a new drip tray? Checkout our Coated Drip Tray option here.

 

 

Stainless Steel Polish

 

Each grill purchase comes with a bottle of Cerama Bryte Stainless Steel Polish, so your grill will once again sparkle. Quickly eliminates food marks, water stains, and fingerprints. Leaves a brilliant, shielding sheen that is streak-free!

Clean your Grate and Griddle

 

The easiest way to clean the grate or griddle after using it is with a wet paper towel and a pair of tongs immediately after finishing, while still hot. This will prevent marinades or fat from baking onto the surface and make cleaning more difficult. If you have allowed the grate or griddle to cool after using, simply turn it back on to warm up and the wet paper towel will still be effective. 

 

Occasionally, put the grate or griddle into the dishwasher after it has cooled for a deep clean, this will loosen and remove any materials from the bottom and return the product to excellent condition.

Get the Right Tools

 

To prevent the coating from being harmed while tending to the grill, we advise using high temperature nylon or silicone utensils on the grate and griddle. The non-stick coating will be damaged by using metal utensils or wire brushes, and any resulting damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.

G2 GRILL

The G2 Grill is the subject of a review by RV Magazine.

 

The article, “Kenyon G2 Electric Grill Review: All the Sizzle without the Hassle,” is a stand-alone grill review on using the G2 Grill to expand your culinary abilities at home and on the road. Becker explains this grill is a solution for RVers’ when grilling on the go. He mentioned that the electric grill will not leave smoke odors in the RV, no propane or charcoal is needed, its easy-to-clean drip tray and how the grill heats up quickly to save time. He also mentioned how he loves the high-end appearance and the impressive industrial design, mentioning the single burner and spacious cooking surface was enough to grill multiple steaks or burgers. Other highlights described were the simplicity of using the grill with a similar dial to traditional grills and the included easy-to-read instructions with tips and tricks. The writer also enjoyed the results of how the various foods were cooked on the grill. The last highlight was how easily portable this grill was compared to a traditional grill or a propane tank.

Grill Stands

More options, more possibilities: Kenyon’s iconic electric grills receive a new partner.

 

Clinton, CT, Nov. 1, 2022Kenyon International, Inc., a specialty electric grill and cooktop manufacturer, announces its newest product line- the all-electric, Freestanding Grill packages. The signature marine-grade 304 stainless steel takes a new form and extends its way into a versatile indoor/outdoor grill stand. These new stands will come in four different versions which are compatible with the G2, City and Frontier grills. Optional accessories include the popular Kenyon Griddle and a visually pleasing yet functional Kenyon Grill Covers to ensure protection.

 

The G2 Grill can function as both a table top grill, or when placed on the Grill Stand it becomes a freestanding grill providing a modern piece for the patio or balcony. Both the G2 and City grills have an elegant knob control, while the Frontier grill has the option of the Touch Control or the intuitive IntelliKEN TouchTM and are waterproof. Each stand also features a foldable shelf along with a side rack for storing seasonings, drinks, and more.

 

All versions of these freestanding grill packages have an output of 120V and plug in to any household outlet. The cooking grates are also engineered so there are no hot or cold zones due to the direct contact of the electric heating element. There is a channel on the bottom of each grate which conceals the element and eliminates the chance of flare-ups. The grill also includes a non-stick coating that eliminates the need for additional oil, resulting in healthier meals and an easy-to-clean product.

 

The stands range from 38-44 inches in height (depending on the grill model) and are all 40 inches wide with the shelf raised, which makes them perfect for patios and even city balconies. On top of all the great features of this launch, a key one is that a vast majority of buildings or townhouses don’t allow for propane and charcoal grills. The Freestanding Kenyon Grills are fully electric, allowing for year-round grilling inside and outside.

 

“The new Freestanding Grills are designed to be the perfect partner for the Kenyon lineup without having to choose between grilling solely indoors or outdoors,” said Phil Williams, president of Kenyon International Inc. “Kenyon has always sought to provide their consumer base with innovative and quality products, while solving the problems of everyday cooks to expert grill masters. This new addition will allow our customers to fully choose their experience while also having a stunning, yet functional, statement piece in their outdoor areas.”

 

Additional features include:

  • Actual cooking temperatures exceeding 550˙F without flare-ups
  • Non-toxic coatings on the non-stick grate are absolutely free from harmful chemicals found in Teflon, enabling you to use the grate without worrying about your health
  • Minimal cleaning hassle as the grate and lid are dishwasher friendly
  • Drip tray that allows users to infuse grilled food with liquids such as beer and wine for added flavor
  • 6’ 120V GFCI protected standard US plug

Kenyon G2 Grill Review: A Portable Electric Grill That Turns Your Kitchen Into A BBQ by Dave Johnson

 “The results? Astounding. The G2’s grilling surface gives your meat deep, rich grill marks, and because the 1800-watt grill reaches about 550 degrees at its highest level, it literally only takes a minute on each side to finish off a steak, preserving the redness inside.”
