How To Set Up An Outdoor Kitchen Newport RI

By Patrick West


If you are someone who loves entertaining people and hosting events, consider having an outdoor cooking area. These are great for ensuring that people have a nice time. An outdoor kitchen Newport RI can provide you with so much fun. But first, you have to know how to set it up right, so that you can make the most of it.

If you do not know anything about good design principles, hire a professional to help you out. Setting up the cooking area might turn out to be much trickier than you think. The professional will design the area, while keeping efficiency in mind. That is, the cold area and hot areas should be separate. So should be the dry areas where food preparation takes place and the wet areas, where the washing is done.

Use quality materials for the surfaces. For instance, tiles and stainless steel are good options. They can withstand the rigors of bad weather without being affected. Also, when shopping for appliances, get ones that have been specifically built for outside use. They should be low maintenance, so that you don't get stressed out cleaning them.

The cooking area should be well coordinated with how the rest of the house looks like. It should also suit how the surrounding landscape looks like. This will provide continuity in the landscape. Use similar colors and design elements that have been used in the main house. Also, place the cooking area strategically, so that you can easily use the indoor kitchen as well when you are using the outside cooking area.

Think about what to do in wet weather. You will need to set up some coverings in the cooking and sitting area. Put some awnings up. You can also set up tables and chairs around an umbrella. Whatever covering you use in the cooking area, make sure that it cannot easily catch fire.

Consider entertainment when designing the area. You might want for you and your guests to listen to some music or watch the television while eating outside. Make room for this. For instance, consider getting a TV that can still be viewed well even in daylight. Set up places where music systems can be set up.

You have to light up the area when it gets dark. Hire an electrician to set up the lighting for you. Put task lights in different parts of the cooking area. For instance, over the grill, sink and counter area. Use less direct and harsh light in the sitting area.

Think about the specific appliances that you want to use outdoors. This will have to be separate from what you use indoors. Some good gadgets to have includes a grill, refrigerator or even a keg, if you like beer. You can also buy an ice making machine, which you can store away whenever you are not using it. Use the appliances to define the cooking area.
