What customers say
This Kenyon burner is highly regarded as a premium appliance, excelling in marine and outdoor settings due to its exceptional build quality. Users consistently praise the durable stainless steel construction and the sleek ceramic glass surface, which elevates the aesthetic. The signature Pop Up Potholders System is a key feature, offering significant safety and convenience, especially where movement occurs. While initial heat up may be slower than gas, the resulting heat distribution is even and reliable. Cleaning is simple. The main consideration is the premium investment required. However, owners generally agree that the specialized features and expected longevity justify the cost for this top tier solution.
Know before you buy
PUPS™ stands for Pop-Up Potholder System. It is a patented mechanism integrated into the cooktop that allows you to raise small, sturdy supports to hold your cookware in place, preventing sliding while the boat is in motion. When you are finished cooking, the supports retract flush into the surface for a clean, flat look.
No, this specific model is designed for a 240V power supply. It is intended for marine or specialized environments that support this higher voltage requirement.
The ceramic glass surface is designed for easy maintenance. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after the surface has cooled, and use a standard ceramic cooktop cleaner for any stubborn spills or residue.
Yes, its compact 12-inch footprint is specifically engineered for space-conscious marine environments. It provides a full-powered cooking experience without sacrificing valuable counter space.
Yes, the unit includes heat-limiting technology to prevent overheating and features dedicated 'On' and 'Hot' indicator lights. These lights provide a clear visual warning to let you know when the burner is active or if the surface is still too hot to touch.
For the best heat transfer and efficiency, use flat-bottomed cookware that matches the 6.5-inch diameter of the burner. While most standard pots and pans will work, heavy-gauge stainless steel or cast iron typically provides the most consistent results on radiant glass surfaces.
