(And Why You’ll Want to Keep Doing It All Year Long)
You’ve grilled burgers, brats, and maybe even a few veggies—but have you ever thrown fruit on the grill? Trust us: a little heat unlocks next-level flavor. Whether you’re going for sweet, smoky, savory, or all three, grilled fruit is a wildly underrated move that works as a snack, side, or full-on dessert.
Here are 7 fruits that taste even better with grill marks—and how to serve them.
.
🍓 1. Strawberries
Thread them onto skewers and grill until softened and jammy. The result? Pure gold.
Try this: Serve with chocolate drizzle and whipped cream, fold into yogurt bowls, or eat straight off the stick.
🥭 2. Mango
A hot grill, and some chili-lime seasoning turns this into a flavor explosion.
Try this: Add to tacos, serve with ice cream, or sprinkle with Tajín and lime for a street snack-style treat.
🍌 3. Bananas
Grilling brings out a rich, caramelized sweetness that’s perfect for dessert.
Try this: Top with honey, cinnamon, or melted chocolate. Serve over ice cream or pancakes.
🍑 4. Peaches
Grilled peaches are summer on a plate. They’re juicy, caramelized, and play well with both sweet and savory.
Try this: Pair with whipped cream or Greek yogurt—or serve alongside pork chops or grilled chicken.
Want to try something fresh? Check out our Grilled Steak & Peach Salad recipe for a bold, seasonal main course.
🍍 5. Pineapple
This one’s a classic for a reason. Grilling caramelizes the sugars and intensifies that juicy tropical flavor.
Try this: Brush with brown sugar before grilling and serve on burgers, in tacos, or with coconut rice.
This one’s unexpected—but totally worth it. The grill tames the bitterness and brings out hidden sweetness.
Try this: Sprinkle with sugar and sea salt, then grill cut-side down for a caramelized finish.
🍉 7. Watermelon
Grilling watermelon gives it a smoky twist and firm texture that pairs beautifully with savory toppings.
Try this: Top with crumbled feta, mint, and flaky salt for a bougie summer salad—or serve as is for a jaw-dropper side.
✨ Pro Tip
Grilling fruit works best on a clean, flat surface with steady heat—especially when you’re dealing with soft or sugary ingredients that can easily stick or burn.
That’s one reason we love using the Kenyon City Grill. It heats evenly, doesn’t flare up, and the non-stick grate makes cleanup super easy. Plus, it’s electric, so you can use it indoors or out—no propane tanks, no fire hazards, just simple grilling that works every time.
.
Final Thought
Grilled fruit is one of those things that sounds weird until you try it—and then suddenly it’s on repeat all summer long. So go ahead, heat things up. Your taste buds will thank you.

Listen: you haven’t lived if you haven’t cooked pizza on your grill. We’re serious. Grilling pizza is one of those magical cooking experiences that’s easy, fun, and gives you that perfect crispy, slightly smoky flavor that an oven just can’t match. Plus, it basically guarantees you’ll be the hero of every summer cookout.
.
Whether you’re making a Friday night dinner or hosting a backyard party, grilled pizza is simple to master with just a few tips.
.
1. Start With the Right Dough
You can use store-bought dough or make your own, but the key is to let it come to room temperature before grilling. This makes it easier to stretch and helps prevent shrinking on the grill.
2. Preheat Your Grill
Get your grill preheated to medium-high heat. The beauty of an electric grill is that you can control the temperature precisely—no flare-ups, no guesswork.
3. Oil It Up
Brush your dough lightly with olive oil before placing it on the grill. This prevents sticking and helps you get those beautiful grill marks.
4. Grill One Side First
Lay the oiled side of the dough directly on the grate. After a few minutes, when the bottom is set and has nice grill marks, flip it over and add your toppings.
5. Go Light on the Toppings
Less is more! Since you’re cooking fast, you don’t want to overload your pizza and risk a soggy crust.
6. Close the Lid
Once your toppings are on, close the lid to let everything melt and cook evenly. The enclosed heat acts like an outdoor pizza oven.
7. Experiment & Have Fun
The best part of grilled pizza is how versatile it is. You can go classic or get wildly creative. Need some inspiration? We’ve got you covered:
Sweet, spicy, and just a little fancy — this grilled pizza combines melty mozzarella, crispy pepperoni, tangy peppadews, and a drizzle of hot honey for the perfect balance of flavor.
A sweet treat that’s as easy as it is delicious: creamy chocolate hazelnut spread layered on grilled naan, finished with fresh berries or chopped nuts.
A perfectly grilled pastry topped with rich brie, bright lemon curd, and juicy blueberries — elegant enough for guests, simple enough for any night.
8. Serve & Enjoy
Slice it up, serve it hot, and accept all the compliments coming your way. Bonus points for serving with a cold drink and some sunshine.
So fire up that grill and start experimenting. Because honestly, once you grill pizza, regular oven pizza just feels… a little sad.

Spring is officially here — and with it comes sunshine, longer days, and the undeniable craving for all things grilled. Before you dive into burgers, veggies, and seafood, it’s the perfect time to give your Kenyon grill a little TLC.
Here’s how to get your grill sparkling clean and ready for the season ahead:
Polish Up That Shine
.
Your Kenyon grill is made from durable 304-grade stainless steel, designed to last for years of incredible meals and memories. Even with its passivated surface for extra protection, a little spring cleaning keeps it looking (and working) its best.
When cleaning stainless steel:
Avoid harsh cleaners like bleach, chlorine-based sprays, oven cleaners, and heavy-duty degreasers — they can break down the protective layer and cause damage.
Skip abrasive tools like steel wool that can scratch the surface and lead to rust.
Best practice: Clean with mild dish soap and warm water using a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn spots, Cerama Bryte Stainless Steel Polish restores shine and leaves behind a streak-free, protective finish.
Pro Tip: Always wipe with the grain of the stainless steel to maintain that sleek, flawless look!
.
.
Grate and Griddle Care
.
Your Kenyon grate and griddle are naturally non-stick — no extra butter or oil needed for most foods! (In fact, using too much oil can cause unnecessary smoke.)
Here’s how to keep them in top condition:
After grilling, while the surface is still warm (but not too hot!), use a wet paper towel and a pair of tongs to wipe away any leftover food or marinade.
If the grill has cooled, preheat on medium heat for a few minutes, then use the wet paper towel method.
Deep clean: Place the cooled grate or griddle in the dishwasher occasionally to loosen and remove tougher residue.
Important: Use only high-temperature nylon or silicone utensils when cooking. Metal utensils and wire brushes can damage the non-stick coating, and damages caused by improper utensils aren’t covered under warranty.
.
Reminder:
Avoid preheating for longer than 10 minutes without food on the grill to reduce the risk of smoke caused by an empty drip tray.
If the non-stick coating eventually begins to fade (which is normal over time), lightly oiling before cooking can help — just expect a little extra smoke. If this happens within 3 years of purchase, reach out to our Customer Service Team for a replacement!
At Kenyon, we’re all about making cooking easier, safer, and just a little bit cooler. One feature we’re especially proud of? Every Kenyon induction cooktop comes with its own SilKEN® Mat — a small detail that makes a big difference in your cooking experience. This patented mat covers the entire cooking area of your Kenyon induction cooktop providing pot retention, glass top protection, quick heat dissipation and easy cleanup.
.
.
First, What Is Induction Cooking?
Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to directly heat your cookware — not the cooktop surface. That means faster heat-up times, more precise temperature control, and improved energy efficiency compared to traditional electric or gas cooktops. Plus, since the cooktop itself stays relatively cool, it’s a much safer and cleaner way to cook.
Each SilKEN® Mat is designed to fit its cooktop perfectly, combining smart engineering with everyday convenience. Made from a textile fiberglass core coated in food-grade silicone, it delivers a range of benefits you’ll notice from the very first use:
Pot Retention: Helps keep your pots and pans securely in place — especially important if you’re cooking on a boat, in an RV, or anywhere the kitchen might move.
Glass Top Protection: Acts like a shield between your cookware and the cooktop surface to help prevent scratches and extend the life of your appliance.
Quick Heat Dissipation: The mat dissipates heat quickly after cooking, helping your cooktop cool down faster and stay safer to the touch.
Effortless Cleanup: When you’re done cooking, just toss the mat in the dishwasher. That’s it!
And because our SilKEN® Mats exceed ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council) requirements for pot retention, they’re trusted even in the toughest marine environments.
