How to Create the Outdoor Kitchen of Your Dreams

Outdoor kitchens are the latest trend. You can turn an
underused outdoor space into a stunning haven that’s perfect for cooking, entertaining
and relaxing. With some careful planning, you can use your outdoor kitchen
year-round.

When you visit Rich’s, you’ll find loads of inspiring ideas
for creating an outdoor kitchen. Our friends at Twin Eagles specialize in hand-crafting
high-quality outdoor kitchen components that blend modern design and classic
elegance.

Let’s explore the elements you’ll want to consider including
in your outdoor kitchen.

Grill

The hub of your kitchen will be the grill. We recommend the
Twin Eagles 30” or 36” outdoor gas grill. 
These grills, which can be either built-in or free-standing (with a cart), feature 25,000 BTUs per burner.
The burners are constructed of 14 gauge 304 stainless steel.

These grills incorporate a 5-part system that uses both
direct and radiant heat. This ensures that the grill will preheat faster, reach
higher temperatures, distribute the heat more evenly, offer complete control in
each grilling zone, and use less gas.

Twin Eagles grills have the ability to cook multiple food
items at different temperatures. For example, on a 30-inch grill, which has two
zones, you could grill steaks over one zone while cooking corn or asparagus
over a separate zone at a lower temperature. A divider between each burner
breaks the grilling surface into zones. You can operate all zones at the same
temperature level or control each zone temperature independently.

All 30”, 36” and 42” grills have an optional Sear Zone (pictured below).
25,000 BTUs of direct heat will sear meats faster and deeper to seal in juices,
resulting in moist, flavorful food.

Twin Eagles offers a huge variety of built-in accessories,
including side burners, griddles, power burners, smoker boxes, warming drawers,
and more. You can special order any Twin Eagles item at Rich’s and it’ll be
delivered in approximately two weeks.

Let’s take a look at some other necessities you’ll want to
add to your outdoor kitchen.
