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.

Bigger is no longer better.

The Tiny House Movement is here!

People all over are downsizing the space that they live in to a “tiny house” which is anywhere from 100-500 square feet.  This trend is gaining popularity as the desire to have financial freedom and a simpler lifestyle are drawing people to utilize a smaller foot print. The “bigger is better” culture may be a thing of the past with the Tiny House Movement becoming a more viable option across the country in both urban and rural areas.

Space is at a premium when downsizing and for most it is hard to give up the creature comforts we have grown accustomed to using daily. One room of the house that takes a huge hit is the kitchen, where most of the biggest appliances are found. In many small spaces, the kitchen becomes a utility room that serves multiple purposes when not being used. For this reason, counter space is used for multiple purposes as well and Kenyon has the perfect solution for your compact cooking appliance needs with our ceramic cooktops and electric grills to help you maximize the versatility.

A great space saving alternative to your range for a small kitchen is our compact ceramic cooktops.  They can be installed in landscape or portrait orientations making them perfect for any size countertop.  They can also be recessed as shown in the images below to maximize your counter space when not cooking. We offer 8 different styles so you’ll be sure to find exactly what you need for your tiny kitchen.

Another sacrificed luxury commonly found with downsizing is the loss of room to store and use a grill. Versatile and mobile, our Kenyon grills are safe and easy to use.  The perfect size for small living, these portable grills can be used indoors and be stored in any kitchen cabinet.  The City Grill is the perfect choice for tight quarters.  With the flat angular lid, dishes, cutting boards and all types of kitchen supplies can be stored directly on top of the lid when not in use. If you are looking into living in one of the larger “tiny” homes, you might even have room to install a grill into your counter top as well! We have several built-in options to suit any chef’s needs so they do not have to sacrifice the pleasure of cooking gourmet meals just because they don’t have space.

Bring it inside!

Don’t give up grilling your favorite food when the weather is bad and city living keeps you inside.  It might seem obvious to not use a gas or charcoal grill inside, but every year more than 400 people are admitted to the emergency room from carbon monoxide poisoning resulting from the use of outdoor grills inside.  Charcoal and gas grills produce large amounts of carbon monoxide and even small amounts can kill you.  Let alone the smoke will leave your furniture and house smelling for weeks. The best way to get your grill fix is by turning to an indoor grill.  Indoor grilling must be done on grills that are specifically designed for indoor use.  You will know how to find these grills as they are tested and rated to UL standards, just like a blender or microwave and will display the seal to prove it.

With Kenyon grills, which are the only outdoor grills that are also rated for indoor use, you have the same options outside as you do inside when it comes to food selection.  Many cooks think that you have to alter plans when grilling indoors due to the lack of heat or for the fear of causing smoke or worse, a fire.  Our electric grills reach over 550°F , which is plenty hot enough to sear steak and that power is paired with our patented design to keep you from experiencing any smoke or flare ups in the grilling process.  For more info on this design click here.

Another common misconception is that by using an indoor grill, or anything other than the beloved charcoal grill, will result in poorly flavored food because there is no charcoal!  This simply isn’t true.  With our line of electric grills, you can enjoy flavorful meals by infusing your food with unlimited combinations of flavors.  Before each grilling session add water, beer, bourbon, juice, wine or even your favorite soda to the drip tray to achieve the perfect blend of desired flavoring.  This liquid will evaporate during the grilling process and the evaporation will infuse into the food to produce a layer of flavor that will make you forget that you miss your old grill and leave your loved ones asking for more!

While your friends and family may have to put their spatulas and tongs away for the season, you can break the trend and still enjoy all of your favorite steaks, burgers, and even beer can chicken from the comfort and warmth of your kitchen.  Whatever the weather brings, you can be sure to use your Kenyon grill all year round.  From patios to balconies and kitchens to galleys, Kenyon grills are the perfect investment for all grill lovers!

I want to send a HUGE thanks to Frank Palmiere from Kenyon Customer Service.  I live in Copenhagen Denmark, and am the happy owner of my Kenyon KISS cooktop in my Sea Ray boat.  Frank has assisted me quickly and both with a rebuild kit and with a small check valves that accidentally broke when I took the cooktop out for service.  These parts are impossible to buy in Denmark.  The level of service given to me, even for a small order that I have placed, really impressed me  A huge thanks!

Asbjorn – Copenhagen, Denmark

The support that I received from your company was amazing!  Frank provided excellent support and fixed my grill.  I could not be more pleased with your company.  I have told everyone on my dock that Kenyon is fantastic.

Thank you,

Dear Cook With Kenyon,

I’ve been using your Floridian portable electric grill for over four years, and I want to tell you how impressed I am.  It still looks and works like new, and continues to produce fantastic results.  I use it so much, that the remodeling plans for the kitchen include a special spot to permanently install the grill in the counter top.

Thanks for a great product.

Regards,

NJ
