“Grilling is one of those traditional dad activities. The Kenyon Frontier Portable Electric Grill adds a whole new element to dad’s cooking repertoire.

This is an electric grill and thanks to Kenyon’s advanced engineering, it doesn’t give off smoke. Even when searing meat at temperatures high enough to leave perfect grill marks (yes, I used a Frontier for the photo at the start of this post). That means dad can grill indoors during inclement weather, or take the Frontier outside to use on a balcony. It quickly reaches temperatures as high as 550 degrees, doesn’t require air-polluting fuel, and it’s easy to clean — the grill plate and lid can both be tossed in the dishwasher!

With prices starting at $895.50 this isn’t a cheap grill, but it’s incredibly versatile, cleverly designed and constructed with marine-grade stainless steel for long life. “

The Manual is your essential guide to living a life that’s more engaged. Your best resource for anything fashion, grooming, and lifestyle-related. They listed the Kenyon City Grill as one of the best portable grills for grilling on the go!

“So for this one, you’ll need an outlet, limiting you to a campsite with facilities, an RV, a cabin with power, or your own backyard. But what you lose in suitability for use in remote locations, you gain in amazing performance. This plug-in electric grill could well be the only grill you use at home thanks to its superb heat control and the high temperatures it can reach. You can clean the grate by hand or in the dishwasher; the drip trays last for many uses but can be tossed once overly soiled. Shout out to Kenyon for keeping things simple: the grill is controlled with just one knob, which features an off position and eight different heat settings ranging from low to high. Also, this is the “Official Grill of the Boston Red Sox,” just FYI.”

June 26-29th, 2019 Kenyon attended Barrett-Jackson at Mohegan Sun, CT!

This was Kenyon’s first year as a sponsor for the show. We had the pleasure of inviting people into our booth to see a range of our grills such as the City Grill, Revolution Grill, SilKEN® SV Grill, Frontier Portable Grill, Texan Grill IntelliKEN Touch™ Grills. We also raffled off one of our newest models, the Floridian IntelliKEN Touch™ Grill. (Congratulations to our winner, Mr. Field!) 

Along with having our grills on display we had fun “backyard” games for people to stop in and play, we also invited people to sit down and relax while watching the live-stream of the car auction, plus a charging station for cell phones.

 “Barrett-Jackson Northeast event was everything we thought it would be and more. The crowds were awesome, the venue is great…our expectations were exceeded many times over. Looking forward to next year.”

– Phil Williams, President of Kenyon International.

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 this 4th of July. Wow your guests with these party tips and summer staples for your most successful cookout yet.

It’s a Party in the USA

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 American celebration! Good company, good conversation and great food are the most important ingredients to an unforgettable event.

Ice-cold beer and wine are a must for the occasion. Easy to grab and pour with little mess or fuss. Add these beverages that you’ll already have on hand to your grill’s 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 non-alcoholic grilled peach iced tea ahead of time to set out for guests to help themselves.

Grill It Up

Juicy burgers, steak, ribs, 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 they can fully marinate for optimum tenderness and taste. Here are a few recipes we recommend to throw on your Kenyon grill:

Burger Sliders

Grilled T-Bone Steaks

Baby Back Ribs

To compliment the main food event, choose about 2-3 sides. If you were cooking up hamburgers and hot dogs the perfect additions to your feast would be corn on the cob  and grilled potato salad. 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 bring out some fun sparklers for everyone!

Sweet Land of Desserts

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:

Frontier IntelliKEN Touch Grill Review

Memorial Day kicked off the grilling season for many people, but Kenyon is ready to make the argument that you could be enjoying grilled meals year-round, regardless of weather. The company makes high quality electric grills, that can be used indoors — without the worry of smoke. Can electric really compete with charcoal, wood or gas? To find out, the company sent me their Frontier portable electric grill, equipped with new IntelliKEN Touch controls. 

First Impressions

It’s immediately clear that the Kenyon Frontier is a premium product. It’s also clearly not meant as a high-end version of something like a George Foreman Grill, or the Cuisinart Griddler in my kitchen, despite all carrying the “electric grill” label. Those are mass produced multi-function kitchen appliances that are considerably smaller and aimed at pressing a sandwich or quickly cooking a steak.

The Frontier is a replacement for an outdoor gas, charcoal or wood grill. That’s a much more ambitious scope. It’s portable. It can be used on a countertop, although it takes up a fair bit of space (21 x 12-inches and over 7-inches tall with the lid), but it can also be used outdoors. It’s also beautifully designed and built to last, with rust-resistant marine grade stainless steel construction. And my review unit was equipped with the company’s IntelliKEN touch controls, which add a high-tech look.

1) Preheating 

This is a critical step for having a successful grilling session.  Preheat your grill with the lid closed for 5 to 9 minutes. This will allow the grill to reach the optimal cooking temperature.

2) Have The Right Tools

Every great chef is measured not only by the foods they make but also by the tools they use to make them. Always have a set of tongs or a spatula handy and be sure you are using a new set after touching raw meat. Bring home our finest collection of four grilling utensils.

3) Add Flavor

Apply your rub or marinade in  advance for the yummiest meat. Rub or marinade should be applied to your food an hour before you’re ready to cook. Try out our recipe for Cherry Balsamic Sauce as a marinade! 

4) When To Take Meat Out

Take your meat out of the refrigerator about 20 minutes before you start grilling. Cooking room temperatures steaks allow for a more even cook.

5) Only Flip Your Meat Once

Flipping your meat multiple times can cause it to lose its natural juices. Cook one side fully, then flip it over to the other side. Follow our recipe for the perfect burger and t-bone steak. 

6) Let It Sit

Get the juiciest cuts of meat by letting your meat sit for about 10 minutes before you cut it.

7) Perfect Your Veggies

Lightly toss veggies in olive oil before grilling to help prevent them from drying out. Try making classics like corn on the cob or asparagus. 

8) Toast Your Buns

This touch is what will set your grilling apart from the other grillers out there. The taste and the texture of buns are best when lightly toasted. Split the bun open, place it cut side down on the grill, and grill until light golden brown, about 30 seconds.

9) Keep It Clean

Always start off with a clean grilling surface. After you are done grilling clean the grate so you are all set the next time you grill. All you need is wet paper towels and a pair of tongs after grilling while the grill is still warm, simply wipe across the grilling surface with the paper towels and you will remove all of the remains. If you would rather get a deeper clean, you can remove your grate/griddle and place directly in the dishwasher.

10) Have Fun!

The top two reasons Americans love to grill (besides to make food), is for personal enjoyment and for entertaining family and friends. Make sure grilling doesn’t feeling like a chore and enjoy yourself. Put on some Jimmy Buffett, crack open a cold one, wear a Hawaiian shirt, and have fun!

The Time Has Come For Electric Grills

“Today’s premium outdoor electric grills solve issues that have long bridled the electric category: lackluster searing, marginal quality, and size limitations. New cutting-edge units are made from quality materials, have larger cooking surfaces, attractive designs, multiple mounting options, and most importantly, incorporate patented technology and engineering that boosts temperature and performance.

Usually, most people know of a George Foreman-type grill or a grill pan on the stove. We’ve had to educated people that there are options that deliver true grilling results

Electric grill manufacturers are also upping their consumer-marketing efforts to increase awareness about the category. We’re taking a fun, engaging, and creative approach toward educating the consumer.”
