Kenyon makes flameless electric grills and induction cooktops that cook indoors, on a balcony, or on a boat — anywhere an open flame is not an option. Cook With Kenyon is everything that comes after you own one. ASK KENNA Your Kenyon expert in your pocket. Ask Kenna what temperature a medium-rare steak needs, why your grill will not switch on, how the griddle attachment works, or which model suits your space — and get a straight answer from Kenyon's own manuals. Type it, or tap the mic and ask out loud. COOK WITH YOUR PROBE Have a Combustion Inc wireless thermometer? Tap Cook to switch it on. A dial shows your food's temperature as it cooks, Kenna tells you how it is climbing, and she tells you the moment it is ready to pull. LIVE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN AND APPLE WATCH While you cook, the temperature stays on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, and in the Smart Stack on Apple Watch — so you can step away and still know when it is time. CHEF'S EYE Ready to cook? Take a picture of the food and Kenna gives you a cook plan made for exactly what you are cooking. RECIPES Dishes built for the way these grills and cooktops actually cook, searchable by ingredient and filterable by course — beef, poultry, pork, veggies, breakfast, snacks and dessert — each with its ingredient list and steps. PRODUCTS The full Kenyon range: built-in grills, freestanding grills, portable grills, induction and radiant cooktops and accessories, with specs, prices and the differences that matter when you are choosing between them. OWNER'S MANUALS Every Kenyon manual, searchable by model name, readable on the phone — so the answer is with you at the grill instead of in a drawer. MY KENYON Tap the gear, then My Kenyon, and select which Kenyon you have. Kenna uses it for every answer: the right settings, temperatures, manual and parts. Cook With Kenyon is made by Kenyon. Make any day a weekend.
