The much anticipated summer season has finally arrived and outdoor grilling is in full effect! Celebrate the long, warm days of summer by hosting the ultimate BBQ for your friends and family. Wow your guests with these party tips and summer staples for your most successful cookout yet.

 

 


The Right Place, The Right Time

Sunshine with a breeze are the desired conditions for any BBQ, however the weather doesn’t always work out in our favor. Make sure to plan for rain or shine and have an indoor setup ready to go. The party won’t stop because of bad weather; your Kenyon electric grill can be used both inside and outside.

Invite friends and family and even the neighbors to make it an all out block party! Good company, good conversation and great food are the most important ingredients to an unforgettable event.


Drink Me

Ice-cold beer and wine are a must for such occasions. Easy to grab and pour with little mess or fuss. Add these beverages that you’ll already have on hand to your grills drip tray to infuse a new flavor into your foods.

Chilled beverages are a welcomed relief in the hot summer sun. Also consider making a batch of punch ahead of time to set out for guests to help themselves.


Grill It Up

Marinated chicken, juicy burgers and crispy hot dogs are exactly what you think of when you hear the word BBQ. Prepare your meats the night before your event so the chicken or beef can fully marinate for optimum tenderness and taste. Here are a few recipes we recommend to throw on your Kenyon grill:

Best Burger Ever with Secret Sauce Recipe

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Hot Dogs Recipe


Pick Your Sides, Any Sides

To compliment the main food event, choose the right sides based on your grilled meats of choice. 2-3 sides work best. If you were cooking up hamburgers and hot dogs the perfect additions to your feast would be a zesty pasta salad, creamy potato salad and maple bacon baked beans. Fresh or grilled veggies pair well with chicken and steak. To further help in your preparation details, ask guests to bring a side dish so you have more time to relax and enjoy the party.


Let’s Play

It’s always a good idea to have a variety of games on hand to entertain your guests throughout the day. Some favorite summertime activities for all ages are; horseshoes, badminton, ladder ball and frisbee. If the conditions are right consider having a bonfire with smores to keep the party going into the night.


Dessert Please!

Let’s not forget about the sweets! Every savory meal needs a sweet note to balance out your taste buds. Summertime meals call for light and airy desserts such as fruits or puddings. Here are some grilled dessert ideas that are sure to be crowd pleasers:

Of course no backyard bash would be complete without your Kenyon grill! From tender veggies to perfectly seared meats, your guests are sure to want to kiss the cook!

The Manual created a list of 5 useful BBQ accessories help you prepare for July 4th which includes our City Grill.

 

Grilling is one of the greatest, manliest pastimes one can engage in. If BBQ gear didn’t exist, men would cook meat by boldly holding it over open flames. Fortunately, there are such things as BBQ accessories, and each one plays a big part in making BBQs more successful. For your reading (and grilling) pleasure, we would like to present a few of our favorite BBQ accessories for this July 4th and beyond.


1. Kenyon’s City Grill

This isn’t so much a BBQ accessory as it is the BBQ itself. Kenyon’s City Grill was explicitly designed to accommodate urban grillers. Even if your outdoor space is limited to a small balcony, you can still host a Fourth of July BBQ thanks to this little number. And we mean little — it has a footprint of just 21 x 12. Kenyon’s City Grill heats up to 500 degrees, puts out almost no smoke, and can even operate indoors. Also, the non-stick grate is dishwasher safe, making cleanup and maintenance super simple.

Father’s Day is just around the corner, check out this round up on The Huffington Post for some great fist ideas for dad and look at # 12 as this features our City Grill!

 

June brings many reasons to celebrate. The end of the school year, graduations, and of course, Father’s Day. Those hard-working, humble and honest dads we all know and love want recognition too. While ties and tool sets are always a nice fallback, consider mixing up the offering this year with a snazzy and shiny tech gift.

According to a survey on Father’s Day gifting by the National Retail Federation, the average person spends $113.80 for this holiday. Lucky dad.


Kenyon City Grill

For the dad who likes to grill, but doesn’t have immediate access to one, the Kenyon City Grill is the next best thing. This can safely be used indoors (and outside) because it is flameless and smokeless. It takes only seven minutes to heat up to a fiery 600 degrees, giving dads instant grillmaster status in any apartment or urban setting.

DailyXY reviewed our City Grill.  Checkout this great piece below:

It’s grilling season, and grilling isn’t just for people with patios, backyards, or grillhouses. If you’re in a condo, apartment, basement suite, or wherever, you still need a grill. It’s in the man code.

Fortunately, a Kenyon City Grill ($475) can fit in all these places. You don’t have to worry about an open flame—this baby is all electric, heats up in seven minutes, and comes to a sear-friendly temperature of 500°F. There’s a drip-tray at the bottom that pops out for easy washing, the grate is non-stick, and the lid is dishwasher safe. Oh, and the whole thing is made from marine-grade stainless steel, just in case you do have a little spot outdoors.

Review

Just a note to compliment you on the customer service call I received today regarding my Kenyan Texan Grill and how thorough and customer sensitive Stacie was.   I have been your supporter since buying the Texan Grill and even the local dealer, Chadwick, has sent people over to see my installation( I informed Chadwick they could send people over if they wanted too).

I am sold on this unit, far superior to the Jennair that was here when we bought the house.   It is easy to master and results are consistent.  Love having neighbors over to show it off.     Nice job Kenyon!!!!!!!

ISO 9001: 2008 Certification

Clinton, CT (April 14, 2015) – Kenyon International, Inc., an industry pioneer and global leader in Marine, RV, and Hospitality cooking appliances, today announced it has received ISO 9001:2008 certification for the design and distribution of its products.  ISO, or International Organization for Standardization, is a network of national standards institutes from 163 countries working in partnership with international organizations, governments, industry, business and consumer representatives.

 

Certifications to ISO 9001:2008 requires an accredited third party auditing organization to thoroughly review the Company’s internal quality management system processes, to ensure that they are capable of consistently delivering a service that meets customers’ needs and expectations.  Though recently certified, the ISO Quality Management System (QMS) standard has been the basis for Kenyon’s internal QMS for a  number of years, as many of its customers are in highly regulated industries, which require their own compliance standards.

 

“As one of the leading cooking appliance providers, it is quite natural that we are at the forefront in achieving ISO 9001:2008 certification,” said Phil Williams, President of Kenyon.  “And as a strategic partner to our customers, it is only fitting that we help them save time and money by officially becoming certified, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to a strong culture of quality,” concluded Mr. Williams.

 

With this certification, Kenyon intends to stay on the leading edge of innovation and high quality products that will keep their customers happy to cook with Kenyon.

Master your grill with these methods

No matter what kind of grill you may have, the same basic methods can be used to get the most out of your grill.  Before you know it you’ll be the master of your own grill!  Here’s a list of different methods to use when grilling:

 

Get a Clean Start:

No matter what type of grill you have, routine cleaning after each use is the key to maintaining it.  Clean grills work better and won’t leave a bad taste on food.  Before your Kenyon Grill cools take a damp paper towel and tongs.  Rub the paper towel back and forth to loosen any leftover residue.  For a deep clean place your grate in the dishwasher.

 

Food Placement:

When grilling, lay food on the grate in neat rows, moving from left to right.  This will help you keep track of which food got placed on the grill first.

Flip just once:

You won’t be able to achieve grill marks or accurately keep track of cooking time if you’re constantly turning over your meat every few seconds.  For a more professional look and to achieve grill marks leave your food alone until it’s necessary to flip.

 

Adding Flavor:

Marinating, brining, and rubs are all great ways to add more delicious flavor to the food you grill.  Experiment with the liquid placed in the drip tray of your Kenyon Grill.  Adding beer for brats and burgers, wine for steaks and even lemon-lime soda for fish.

 

Grilled Vegetables:

The heat of the grill intensifies a vegetable’s natural sweetness.  Before grilling lightly coat veggies with olive oil to help prevent drying out.

 

Time It:

Food continues to cook after it comes off the grill, so it’s best to remove it just before it has reached the desired doneness.  A digital instant-read thermometer gives the most accurate results.

 

Take a Break:

Let food rest before serving.  Only 5 minutes are needed for small cuts and up to 15 minutes for roasts.  This gives the juices a chance to settle back into the meat.
