Have you ever hosted a party only to be in the kitchen slaving away cooking and cleaning while all your guests are enjoying the nice weather outside? This is not a great feeling since you put so much effort into a party to not to get to enjoy some of the time with your guests. The problem is that you have to have food and cool drinks to serve and that is why an outdoor kitchen may be a perfect addition to your home. You may also realize in the hot summer months that you don’t want to heat up your house and cook dinner so being able to grill or cook outdoors is a wonderful benefit. You want to make sure you know what you want when you have an outdoor kitchen installed. It will need to be laid out and planned to make sure you get all you want. You also want to be sure you think through all the aspects you want and have it added to your plans. Anytime Remodeling outlines aspects of an outdoor kitchen you want to consider.
Outdoor Kitchen Appliances
Some people are under the impression that an outdoor kitchen is nothing more than a grilling station. Although a grill is a great addition it is not the only appliance that you can have. To have a proper outdoor kitchen you want to make some decisions about what other appliances you want. Most people will choose to have a refrigerator even if it is a smaller one. You can also have a grill top as well as some burners so that you can cook with pots and pans as well. You may also choose to have a pizza oven or a standard oven just to make things more convenient no matter what the menu is.
Plumbing in an Outdoor Kitchen
When you are cooking in your kitchen you are using the counters, appliances and of course the sink. You need to be able to use water when you are cooking and prepping. You also want to be able to rinse off food and of course the dishes that you are using. Water is a huge part of the area and will need to be plumbed in any way to accommodate your refrigerator.
How Much Countertop Space is Needed in an Outdoor Kitchen
Depending on the amount of space that you have will determine what you can have in your outdoor kitchen. One part of the area needs to be the counters and what space you need. There needs to be space to fit in your sink as well as space to prep. Most people prefer to also have a bar section where they can set stools and let people enjoy eating and enjoying a drink. Be sure that you use a good stone counter so that it can hold up to the elements.
