8 Must-Have Outdoor Kitchen Components
The outdoor kitchen is the ideal space for creating unique experiences and opportunities to gather around a delicious meal in an outdoor setting. Your new summer kitchen will allow you to make the most of your valuable garden or terrace space.
Essential Outdoor Kitchen Components
Outdoor kitchens with electric appliances
When selecting an electric appliance for your outdoor kitchen, there are several factors to consider before designing or installing your outdoor unit.
The first step is to select the electric cooker that best meets your requirements.
The market offers a variety of electric barbecues and grills, electric teppanyaki plancha, electric induction hobs, and electric deep fryers. The most suitable appliances are manufactured from marine-grade AISI 304 or AISI 316 stainless steel.
These appliances offer a variety of features, including power, cooking mode, and cooking zones. Some models feature digital controls, while others have physical controls.
The Best Outdoor Planchas
Some of the appliances are recessed directly into the worktop, while others are simply placed on the worktop.
It is important to note that these appliances tend to have a high power consumption, therefore it is essential to plan for a sufficient electricity supply to power all of them.
It is inadvisable to invest in low-end appliances, as they are likely to fail.

Outdoor Refrigeration Appliances
It is advisable to select refrigerators and wine cellars that have been designed specifically for outdoor use. These appliances should feature reinforced insulation and high-quality materials that are durable and resistant to different weather conditions.
It is important to be aware that there are various types of outdoor refrigeration appliances available on the market.
Beverage Center Refrigerators
Outdoor refrigerators and wine cellars are typically positioned directly beneath the worktop. These appliances typically measure between 60 and 90 cm in length and approximately 90 cm in height.
These appliances can be fitted with either stainless steel or glass doors. We would recommend AISI 316 stainless steel and IP67 resistance as the optimal choice for the best quality.
Outdoor Ice Makers
There is a variety of ice-making appliances available for outdoor use. Outdoor ice makers are typically installed beneath the counter. The typical dimensions are 38 cm in width and 87 cm in height. In this instance, the units are manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel and are designed to comply with IP67 standards.
The price of these products can vary considerably depending on the design, production capacity and materials used in their manufacture. For further professional advice, please contact our dedicated team, who will be happy to guide you to the best options for your needs.

Outdoor Kitchen Cabinetry
Outdoor kitchen furniture Your choice of outdoor furniture is an important one. It will enable your summer kitchen to be fully equipped. FESFOC offers two ranges of furniture, BCN and EMPIRE. Choose the one that best suits your needs!
If you require furniture that is phytosanitary quality, weather-resistant, easy to clean and to retain its aesthetic appearance over time, your furniture must be stainless steel.
Aluminium Outdoor Kitchen Furniture
Do not use furniture made of aluminum, plastic, HDPE, wood, iron, brick or concrete. Outdoor kitchen furniture will inevitably suffer wear and tear from rubbing, impact and use.
When it comes to aluminium furniture, it is crucial to remember that aluminium is an oxidizing material. Do not mix aluminium oxide with food or kitchen equipment. It is not phytosanitary.
Painted furniture is the usual choice for this type of furniture. However, as this is an area of use exposed to the wear and tear of time, the paint will eventually chip and begin to oxidise. This also applies to iron furniture.
Plastic Outdoor Furniture
It is crucial to understand that UV rays cause degradation in furniture made of plastic, HDPE or HPL. This leads to a noticeable change in the material’s appearance, resulting in an aged look for your kitchen in the medium term. Furthermore, the heat of grills will cause damage over time.

Furniture and Worktops in Concrete
Concrete and brick furniture is highly porous and will stain easily from food, oil, beverages and so on. Once stained, it’s obvious why. Once stained, it is extremely difficult to remove. Furthermore, they are not phytosanitary and cannot be cleaned in the way a kitchen should be.
This is why all professional restaurant kitchens use stainless steel furniture. It’s the most comfortable, cleanest, most durable and most phytosanitary material, period.
Drawers for Outdoor Kitchens
You need to customize your furniture to suit your needs. The layout and order of your outdoor kitchen, along with the ease of access to its elements, will determine how you use it. Drawer units are a superior choice for improving order and space utilization compared to shelfs.
You’ll have better access to all stored items with drawer units. The drawer guides are one of the most important elements of a drawer unit. There are many types of systems on the market, including full-extension and soft-close models, visible and concealed, and more. They are also grouped according to the weight they can handle.
Types of Guides
When it comes to outdoor furniture with drawers, we recommend full-extension drawers with a capacity of 40 kg when open. We also advise against visible side runners on the drawer.
There’s no doubt about it: visible runner guides indicate a cheap product. They are the least stylish on the market. They will degrade rapidly and visibly when exposed to the elements because they are not hidden. Your cabinet hinges should be concealed. When buying a kitchen cabinet with drawers, pay attention to these small but crucial details.
How to store items in an outdoor kitchen?
Fully extracted drawers are the perfect place to store cutlery, crockery, pots and pans thanks to their convenient height. You can organize all your kitchen utensils perfectly with an infinite number of storage and accessories.
Stainless Steel Outdoor Kitchens
If you buy an outdoor kitchen with the wrong materials and have to change it because it’s lost its aesthetic look, or because it’s rusty, scratched or dirty and can’t be cleaned or repaired, you’ll have to spend a lot of time and money getting rid of it because it’s usually bulky and heavier than you’d expect.
Buy a kitchen made from the correct materials so you can enjoy it without a second thought. Fesfoc kitchens meet the highest standards of quality, guaranteeing the best cooking experience of your entire life.
