An outdoor kitchen is the perfect complement to any house. Not only are you able to cook delicious meals outside in the warm summer evenings but also you will not have to be stuck in the main kitchen, missing all the fun outside.

An outdoor kitchen is the perfect complement to any house. Not only are you able to cook delicious meals outside in the warm summer evenings but also you will not have to be stuck in the main kitchen, missing all the fun outside.
Americans spent almost $150 billion remodeling their houses in 2005 and a third of this amount was spent on exterior areas. You can see already that outdoor kitchens are a hot trend! You might need to spend a few thousand dollars getting your outdoor kitchen up to scratch but it is an investment and will push the property of your home upwards if you ever decide to move. Before you hit the shops, here are some guidelines about outdoor kitchen design and putting your outdoor kitchen together.
Outdoor Kitchen Design
Outdoor kitchens come in three basic designs. Amongst these are a basic island, an L shaped island and a U shaped center. A basic island has a grill, a sink, and food preparation space. Basic islands are usually quite small so if you are cooking for several people, another type might be better. L shaped islands have cooking and preparation areas and are larger than basic islands. U shaped centers have a grill in the middle, a preparation area, and a serving area. If you want to serve food straight from the grill without leaving it, a U shaped island might be the perfect solution.
Outdoor Kitchen Cabinets
When you are putting together your outdoor kitchen plans, you need to think about outdoor kitchen cabinets. Unlike indoor cabinets, these are going to be exposed to water, cold temperatures and sunlight, which means that durable materials such s brick, granite and marble are recommended. Wood, especially untreated wood, can rot easily and will need to be replaced within a matter of months. Wood is also very flammable. Your outdoor kitchen is supposed to last for years so it is worthwhile choosing the best quality outdoor kitchen cabinets and work surfaces you can afford.
Outdoor Kitchen Appliances - What Will You Need?
The grill is perhaps the most important item in your outdoor kitchen plans. You could get a charcoal grill or a gas grill. Charcoal grills flavor the food well but gas grills give superior temperature control. If your grill is going to be exposed to the elements, you will need a waterproof grill cover.
A kitchen island is another necessary feature in your outdoor kitchen plans. You can design your own or buy an island in one piece. Good materials to use in your outdoor kitchen design include stainless steel, stucco, and stone. An outdoor sink is useful and can draw from the house's water supply or a portable water hose. You might want to add an outdoor refrigerator to your list of outdoor kitchen appliances although an outdoor refrigerator will have a maximum life span of five years because of the fluctuating temperatures it is exposed to quite often.
How to Build an Outdoor Kitchen
When building outdoor kitchens, it is important to take your time and plan exactly what you want the finished outdoor kitchen to look like. What kind of cookery will you do? How often will you cook there? How much can you spend? How many people will you feed at once? Do you want your outdoor kitchen stationary or movable? These are some of the important questions to ask yourself before designing your outdoor kitchen plans or thinking about outdoor kitchen appliances.
When you have decided on your outdoor kitchen design, you can build it yourself or hire a contractor to help. Your outdoor kitchen should be far enough away from guests so that smoke does not blow in their faces. It should also be near the house so you can carry food in and out. The grill should be thirty-six inches high for your comfort. Remember also not to use flammable materials in your outdoor kitchen plans.
When you are ready to go, you can enjoy building your outdoor kitchen and be assured that family and friends will delight in your cookery for years to come!
