How to Create an Functional Outdoor Kitchen
Backyard entertaining has evolved from the simple barbecues of the past into a trend that is fun for everyone involved - including the cook! The days of running back and forth from the indoor kitchen or limiting your menu to traditional grill fare are over with modern outdoor kitchen designs.
Today's outdoor cooking areas often feature everything you enjoy inside your home so it is entirely possible to entertain family and friends while still enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. In some areas, like sunny Southern California, outdoor kitchens are used year round - perhaps more frequently than the indoor kitchen!
Common features in modern outdoor kitchens include: Weather-resistant, stainless steel cabinetry for storage with functional and attractive countertops, often made of elegant granite or marble; Outdoor stoves alongside extensive grills to make full meal preparation a breeze; Refrigerators, bars, and wine chillers; Sinks, dishwashers, and other functional features; Elegant brick pizza ovens, reminiscent of Old World Italy.
The only thing limiting your outdoor kitchen design is your available space and your budget. Whether you're considering a simple design or an expansive cooking area with custom features, there are a variety of factors to consider.
