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.
