Can you remember those days when you saw your parents roiling out the portable barbeque to the garden and calling that an outdoor kitchen? Well, you will rarely find such houses nowadays. Today, almost every Australian home plans for a fully-functional outdoor kitchen. What goes into the making of an outdoor kitchen? If you are planning to install your kitchen under the patio, it requires a lot of high-quality and sturdy material to withstand exposure to different particles and elements outdoors. The indoor kitchen is fully covered, so exposure to outside factors is less. So, it is crucial to buy highly durable stuff for your outdoor kitchen. Benchtops The immediate requirements include a sink, cabinet, metal drawer, side burner, and benchtops. Many homeowners prefer stone benchtops because of their robust properties. Outdoor stone benchtops are well-known for being particularly resistant to stubborn stains, and they are 100% non-porous. So, no matter whatever liquid spill over, it will not seep into the stone. Because of its non-porosity properties, many homeowners use it in their bathrooms and public wet areas. They are also safe and hygienic as they are fully UV/ moisture and stain-resistant. The locally manufactured and engineered stone is usually relatively uniform in its structure and is built with superior strength in its core values to other materials. These stones are available in plenty of modern shades. Building a kitchen is exciting and choosing the suitable material can be exhausting. One way of doing it is by buying locally made products. The advantage will be, that they are all tested in the Australian climate. You will want everything more than your friends have and still enjoy the outdoor kitchen being unique. Have you come across the crossway BBQ? The brand crossway is well known for its quality products. While refurbishing their kitchen, many families have opted for the crossway bbq to usher in efficiency and modernity. With the crossway infra-red cooking technology, you will enjoy spicier and better-tasting food. How to buy a BBQ? The heart of an outdoor kitchen is the BBQ. It is the space where your guests will gather, entertain, and put your chef skills to the test. Picking the right size BBQ sometimes is complicated. Going for a size bigger than what you think than you require will be good. It depends on your family size and the number of guests you expect. If you are a family of 6 regularly using the BBQ, a four-burner grill would suffice. Smaller families with lesser socialising will find the two burner BBQ perfect, allowing them more cooking surface. The advantage of such burners is that, you can carry it with you when going on outdoor activities. Being compact, it will not take much space to store. The two burners’ BBQs adjust to the temperature controls quickly. Most of these burners come with features such as LED knobs, USB grilling light, and a side burner. Two burner BBQs are not expensive and they come in different models and brands. Conclusion: An outdoor kitchen will add value to your home and you can customise your kitchen according to the space you have.
