Kenyon Floridian 120 volt Portable Grill review<\/h2>\n

Recently I was contacted by Kenyon International, Inc. to review their Floridian Portable Electric Grill on Cooking-Outdoors.com, something I enjoy doing from time to time, so I eagerly agreed. Electric grills are the large minority when it comes to grills in the marketplace and a portable version is even rarer. It's been a few years since I have had the pleasure to cook on one, I like the simplicity of an electric grill, plug it in and in a few minutes, start cooking. Portable electric grills fit a small but dedicated market perfect for RVers, Boaters and Patio grillers but often over looked by the solo grillers thinking that charcoal or gas grilling is the only heat options available.<\/p>\n

Before I give you my thoughts on the Kenyon Floridian Electric grill, here are a few stats from Kenyon:<\/p>\n

The Kenyon Floridian is a beauty of a grill to look at, featuring “Marine grade 304 stainless steel” stainless steal housing, unique ceramic glass touch control panel, European style handles and clean lines to look at. Kenyon calls the touch panel: “Waterproof digital touch control panel for precise heat control” and it is very simple to use. The easy to remove and clean grill grate is cast aluminum and double coated with a non stick surface that functions as expected.<\/p>\n

The grates are ridged to give you those beautiful grill marks everyone desires and the waterproof digital touch control panel operates flawlessly with simple touch controls – two actually, one for on and one for heat adjustment. The Kenyon digital control panel is easy to clean with a simple wipe of a cleaning cloth I was able to remove the grease from my first cook with zero marks left to scar the surface.<\/p>\n

Safety is a feature we all appreciate and Kenyon took the steps to make sure the Floridian Electric Grill has an inline GFI installed on the 6′ cord to prevent accidental electric shocks. I also noticed that the handles on the grill did not get so hot they burned you when cooking, still be safe and use cooking gloves when you touch potentially hot surfaces.<\/p>\n

Kenyon's Floridian Electric Grill digital touch control panel operates effectively and simply. One touch to turn on, you will hear a beep and the ceramic glass surface lights up indicating it is on, then simply touch the plus sign to control the heat settings up or the minus sign to control the heat down. Each touch of any symbol will result in an audible beep to let you know that your touch input has been received and completed.<\/p>\n

There are no thermometers or temperature indicators on the grill, something I would like to see added. I use temperatures to cook by add use as a reference point during cooking, a temp gauge on the lid would help me catch temperature fluctuations in the cooking area and temps on the digital touch control panel would be helpful as many recipes give temp specs to cook by.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The control system is very intuitive with it's bar system letting you know how high the heat setting is: 1 bar, being the low setting to 8 bars being the high setting. According to Kenyon this exceeds 500F.<\/p>\n
