The “Ins and Outs” of Designing an Outdoor Kitchen

When designing an outdoor kitchen, it’s extremely important to select the correct quality of product. Your outdoor kitchen will be exposed to the elements all day, every day. Every single aspect of your outdoor kitchen needs to be carefully selected in order to ensure your outdoor kitchen will look great for many years to come, no matter how harsh the elements are that it’s exposed to.

When selecting your materials, there are numerous options to choose from. If you’re planning on using wood, make certain you select a wood that is designed for outdoor use. When considering your metal surfaces, stainless steel and powder-coated metals are great. Your counter/benchtops should be comprised of a high quality stone such as granite or stainless steel also.

Now that you have the materials that will withstand the elements, it’s time to select your appliances. Dependent upon how much space you have and your budget, there’s a lot of variety in selecting appliances. If you’re wanting your outdoor kitchen to actually function like an indoor kitchen, you’re going to need a refrigerator/freezer, as well as a sink. After all, cleaning and cooling are essential to the process of cooking and cleaning.

It is also important to come into the design knowing what you’ll use your outdoor kitchen for and also what you won’t use it for. Think of cooking methods you can’t perform in your indoor kitchen, then implement those into your outdoor kitchen for additional variety. Be creative, yet always maintain a practical approach. An outdoor kitchen is an investment, so be sure to know your overall objective and goal in advance, prior to actually designing your outdoor kitchen.
