Outdoor kitchens are one of the most enjoyable additions you can add to your home.
Grilling is safe, fun, easy, and a healthy way to eat. Most of your unwanted grease will drip off whereas in a gumbo it holds all the grease. Grilling means less unwanted smells inside your home.

TIPS ON LAYING OUT YOUR OUTDOOR KITCHEN:
Putting some space between cooking appliances allows ample room to place a pan next to your grill, so you have an area to place your food before putting it on your grill.
Also, you can choose an appliance, such as a refrigerator, next to your grill. It doesn’t cut up countertop space and gives you more working room.
Place your sink and pull out trash can next to each other. As you are cutting your packages open you can wash your hands and food, if needed, and throw papers in the trash. Locating this fairly close to where you are cooking is a great idea.
COOKING TIPS:
Get your grill very hot on one side and then sear your steak on both sides until golden brown. This will lock in your juices. Then depending on if you like it medium or well-done, you then put your steak on the opposite side of grill on low flame so the interior will cook to your desired temperature.
When cooking chicken, I find it is best to cook off direct flame. Your chicken will not be exposed to flair ups that burn the outside before the inside is cooked. Furthermore, your chicken will come out much juicier.
Final tip is to get to know your grill. It is your friend and will make your tummy really happy for the rest of your life.
