It’s starting to get warm out, even in parts of the country where spring comes fashionably late. \u00a0It’s not quite springy enough for grilling here in the frozen north, but the orange construction cones are in bloom and I’ve got outdoor design on my mind. If you’re planning a big back yard project, now is the time to get started: the weather is decent to work in, and if you play your cards right, you’ll be done in time to enjoy the finished project this season. Not sure where to start? One of my favorite new trends is the addition of outdoor kitchens.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

What Is An Outdoor Kitchen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Plenty of people have a grill or fire pit in their backyards – even really nice ones, often accompanied by some pretty nice patio furniture<\/a>. Outdoor kitchens are the next step beyond that: with built-in grills, plumbing, electricity, appliances, and even old fashioned brick ovens. For a big-time entertainer, this is a dream come true: there’s no running in and out, passing of plates or piling up of dishes. You can do all the work outside, from refrigerator to grill to plate to belly. Outdoor kitchens make a great extension for your home and work especially well to enhance a pool area, deck, or patio. In warmer climates, you can use them year-round to keep your kitchen cool or just for a greater variety of cooking options. <\/p>\n\n\n

The Grills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The grill is the heart and soul of all outdoor cooking, whether you use charcoal or gas or even wood. But in outdoor kitchens, grills come built-in, with cabinetry and counter tops like those you’d find indoors. Built more like a cooktop than a kettle grill, outdoor kitchens frequently come equipped with a range hood<\/a> as well, designed to suck away smoke and minimize eye-burning odors and heat from cooking. Wood burning ovens are a great, functional alternative to fire pits, but you’ll need to build them from scratch. Both built-in outdoor grills and outdoor ovens are more arduous and expensive to install than simply rolling in a grill you got at your local megamart, but the payout is truly impressive. <\/p>\n\n\n

Refrigeration<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"Outdoor<\/a>

If you do any amount of grilling at all, you know what a pain it can be to try to keep all your ingredients cold in warm weather. This is especially important for meat, which attracts bacteria if let for too long at outdoor temperatures. But avoiding leaving food sitting out means a lot of shuffling in and out of doors for burgers, dogs, steaks, veggies, and whatever else you plan to throw on the grill. Installing an outdoor refrigerator near your grill is an excellent solution. Even small, under-counter refrigerators<\/a> allow you to keep everything you’re planning on cooking cold until you’re ready to cook or serve, from marinating chicken to crisp lettuce to a spare set of condiments. <\/p>\n\n\n

Now, even with a fully functioning outdoor kitchen, you probably aren’t going to start doing your dishes outside. But installing even a small prep sink<\/a> with a cold water hookup means you can wash hands and rinse utensils without having to tromp back inside and to your main kitchen. \u00a0Not only does this make managing small messes easier, but washing your hands and grill tools can also help prevent cross contamination. You can even use larger, trough style sinks as an alternative to a traditional cooler; just fill with ice and canned or bottled drinks, and the melt off will drain all by itself. <\/p>\n\n\n

Outdoor Beer Dispenser From Summit Appliances {via<\/a>}<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

For an extra impressive outdoor kitchen, big-time entertainers will want to consider adding a few more appliances. While the grill alone will do, if you’re the type to host poolside parties every weekend or eat outdoors with your family most nights during the summer months, it can be wise to keep drinks on hand. From built in kegerators that serve a pony keg of your favorite beer on tap to wine coolers<\/a> that keep your best (or cheapest!) vintages at perfect serving temperature, oft-used outdoor kitchens are a great place for novelty appliances, including most of the equipment<\/a> you’d want for a home bar. Mini fridges do well to replace a traditional cooler, holding several cans at a time, but there’s not much that can beat the style factor of pulling the perfect pour from your very own tap. <\/p>\n\n\n

Ice Is Nice<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"Outdoor<\/a>
Outdoor Kitchen With Ice Maker (by Lorraine G Vale, Allied ASID)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Perhaps one of the most underrated appliances indoors, ice makers are fantastic for outdoor kitchens. These look like narrow mini-fridges and can be built into your outdoor cabinetry. This one can hold up to 10 pounds of ice, though other models can make upwards of 44 pounds a day – plenty to fill a cooler with ice to spare for a round or two of margaritas. Because they don’t take up much space, you can even install an ice maker in a smaller outdoor kitchen. Refrigeration might be more important, but if you know you go through a lot of ice in your backyard parties, it might be worth sticking with an ice maker and using it to fill a cooler rather than shelling out for big bags of ice every time you entertain. <\/p>\n\n\n

My favorite thing about outdoor kitchen projects is that you can tailor them to fit your entertaining style. Whether it’s adding a little work space to a small patio or building a fully equipped second kitchen, the scope of the project is up to you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
