Outdoor Kitchen Components – Know the Facts

In Featured Post by Platinum Pools

Since the days of food channels showing how much fun it is to cook outdoors, many homeowners look for a way to enjoy their backyards, especially in the summertime.  The days of having a hibachi or a gas grill are converting into a more elaborate, more accessible place to cook. When it’s time to have an outdoor kitchen, we are not talking about the grill alone. 

An outdoor kitchen is a kitchen outdoors.  Think about some of the accessories you need to make your outdoor kitchen convenient and comfortable:

Refrigeration

You may want to look at these accessories that will keep your refreshments cold and ready:

Bar Caddy

A bar caddy includes an ice bin with removable lid and condiment tray.  The unit, including hinges, handles, and frame, is from a commercial 304 grade, 20-gauge stainless steel. Other accessories include a removable condiment holder, external flag hinges for easy removal.  When not in use, the bar caddy is easy to clean thanks to a drain hole in the center.     

Drop in Ice Chest

It is an excellent addition to your Outdoor kitchen, especially if you are looking to entertain in style. Like the Bar Caddy, it has a drain and a condiment tray. The unit has a heavy duty 304 Stainless Steel lid and galvanized steel construction and will keep your beverages and condiments cold.
