There are many perks to living in Hawaii. Perhaps the #1 is our fantastic year-round weather. What better way to enjoy that weather than cooking and eating outdoors? 

Here are four amenities that turn that weekend cookout into a nightly fresco…

#1: Plenty of Prep Space

There may be only one cook inside, but outside, everyone can get into the action. Just like your kitchen but even more so, outside, you need space, particularly counter space. My top recommendations for outdoor countertop materials are quartz, cement, and stainless steel.

#2: Smart, Systematic Sink Setup 

Another must have an excellent large sink with a faucet with a sprayer or a separate sprayer. The single bin is suitable for large pans. However, two compartments are a bit more versatile.

#3: Carefully Considered Cooking Appliances

For a well-used outdoor kitchen, I recommend clients have a family meeting. Do we want a pizza oven? Do we need a burner to boil water, keep sauces warm, or cook with it? Brainstorm all your ideas, then give it a good thought. Is it a must-have? It's not only about the budget but space as well.

#4: A Fully-Stocked Fridge

Keep your lettuce and condiments nice and cold with a refrigerator drawer and freezer drawer for spirits, ice, and ice cream. And don't forget your wine or beverage refrigerator.

If you would like some support bringing your outdoor kitchen and dining dream to life, we can help. Reach out, and let's get to know each other.

Until next time,
