(Clinton, CT) - Keeping a pot of Brunswick Stew from sliding off a cooktop at home should be a fait accompli! Now try it with a toddler in the house or in the cockpit galley of a boat that is pitching 30 degrees which is less than ideal sailing conditions.  Necessity, being the mother of all inventions, Kenyon Custom developed SilKEN®, a two burner induction cooktop with silicone mats that grip pots and pans firmly without impeding the cooking process.

By way of background, induction cooking is the most energy efficient method of cooking today.  It's as much as 50% more efficient than gas cooking appliances.  The magnetic energy is directly supplied to the cookware so 85% to 90% of the electrical power is applied to the cooktop is used to generate heat.  The SilKEN® mats help to insulate and protect the cooking surface, while at the same time reducing the amount of detergents required to clean up for enhanced eco-friendliness.

SilKEN® offers another tool to enhance the cooking experience.  In addition to safety and efficiency, SilKEN® is a breeze to clean up from splatters and boil over's.  The silicone mats easily lift up so you can wash them in the sink or in the dishwasher.  And later this year the mats will be available in various color to accent the cooktop.

"Induction technology is where the industry is moving," notes Phil Williams, Kenyon Custom President.  "SilKEN® is an exceptional addition, for safety in the home and senior housing facilities as well as marine and RV markets.  It is also ideal for the hospitality market where clean up time for housekeeping can be saved."

Kenyon Custom induction cooktops feature a slightly recessed lip in contrast to the even surface on other Kenyon Custom ceramic cooktops.  The special patent pending recess allows the silicone mats to remain flush and secure.  The high gloss SilKEN® mats are constructed of environmentally friendly cooking grade silicone designed to fit only Kenyon custom cooktops.
