During the summer and fall, you will likely want to spend more time outdoors. Nothing makes this more comfortable than having the perfect outdoor kitchen. You get the convenience of cooking at the same time as sharing time with your family and friends. You don’t need to be stuck indoors cooking while everyone is in the sun. Get out there with them. There are outdoor kitchens available for any space and budget. Your outdoor kitchen needs to have several things to be a success. You need a granite countertop for placing your grill as well as any food or trays needed for cooking. Granite is the preferred material as it is the most durable and long-lasting. Granite is also not easily damaged by the sun’s rays and is easy to clean. As for your grill, you can choose between gas or charcoal. Piping gas from your home may require permission from local authorities so be sure to check before buying your grill.
The Perfect Outdoor Kitchen
Storage is also important where you can keep basic items such as cutlery, dishes and other serving items. This saves you from running in and out of the house too much. You can also invest in an outdoor refrigerator if you have space and budget. Keeping small food items outdoors means you can spend more time outside making it easier and more convenient to host your event. A compact refrigerator for drinks is also handy so your guests can grab a fresh beverage as needed. You also may want to invest in a sink and they can be easily installed. A water pipe can be installed with planning permission granted first. This can help you keep your hands clean as you prepare and cook foods as well as rinse all utensils and dishware, thus expediting the overall cleaning process. Once all dishes are rinsed, they can be easily transported into the house and loaded into your dishwasher. Seating and lighting are the next important factors to consider for creating the perfect outdoor kitchen. You definitely need lighting over your cooking area, especially if you plan to cook at night. You need adequate lighting for all food preparation and serving. You can choose between fixed seating or something more flexible depending on the style you are going for. Wooden or iron benches and tables are one option or perhaps stackable chairs and foldable furniture. Your choice of furniture will depend on spacing. There also may be more inviting places to sit such as beside the pool or on the deck.
