How to organize an outdoor kitchen in the best way

Outdoor space

Outdoor cooking enthusiasts understand the importance of comfort and functionality provided by an outdoor kitchen. During the warmer months, the dining area in the garden or on the terrace can become an opportunity to host friends for dinner and create moments of conviviality in the open air.

There are numerous solutions for designing an outdoor kitchen that reflects the efficiency of a traditional indoor kitchen, taking into account style and weather conditions. But how to create the outdoor kitchen in the best way? Modular solutions are the optimal ones, based on the available space and designed for the habits of those who will be cooking outdoors.

Outdoor materials: which ones to choose

Resistance to weather conditions is one of the main limitations in choosing outdoor materials. Fogher kitchens, for example, are made of stainless steel which, subjected to specific treatments, guarantees high resistance to weathering and long-term durability, while maintaining the product's high performance. Outdoor kitchens made of stainless steel are the ideal solution for those who love minimal and modern lines but want a practical and easy-to-maintain space. Hygienic, non-toxic, and rust-resistant, the stainless steel used in Fogher kitchens has thicker gauges than commonly used steel. This allows for limited welding and therefore better reaction to dimensional variations due to heat.

Outdoor kitchen: where to place it?

To create a sheltered dining area, you can position the kitchen under a porch or a pergola, without worrying about the weather conditions. In the case of the Fogher steel kitchen, thanks to the treatments performed on the steel, there are no placement limits and it can be placed on the terrace or in the garden, even without coverage. Considering the thermal conductivity of steel, however, it is advisable to cover the kitchen from direct sunlight to avoid having boiling surfaces on which it would be uncomfortable to cook. The factors to consider in choosing the placement therefore include the available space, the provision of connections, and personal taste.

Modularity of outdoor kitchens: Functional and design options

The modularity of outdoor kitchens allows for compositions to be tailored to the usage, space, and taste of the customer. Generally, three basic modules can be considered: the sink, the worktop, and the cooking area. For example, the Sant'Elena kitchen integrates the functionality of a traditional kitchen with the intense flavor of a gas barbecue oven version. If one doesn't want to forgo the convenience of stoves, they can choose to expand the kitchen with a gas or induction cooktop. For true barbecue enthusiasts, on the other hand, there is a wide range of elements and accessories for professional cooking and smoking: double grills, smoker kits, steel plates, and soapstone stones. Thanks to the wide choice of products available on the market, it's possible to have cooking methods for every need according to preferred cooking methods.

Versatility with style

Steel is characterized by a linear and minimal design, suitable for modern contexts but also in contrast with natural settings and materials such as wood and stone. Stainless steel outdoor kitchens can be seamlessly integrated with existing constructions, adding a touch of modern and refined style, or in essential and elegant environments. Stainless steel outdoor kitchens are therefore the best choice for cooking and enjoying outdoor life during the warmer seasons. Minimal and design lines accompany the high performance of this material, without having to worry about maintenance and weathering. The only problem will remain deciding what to cook for guests!
