Maintenance Tips for Outdoor Kitchens
A well-maintained outdoor kitchen can last you 10 years or more. Since outdoor kitchens are constantly exposed to the elements, there will be some natural wear and tear, but you should never neglect cleaning your appliances. Here are a few helpful maintenance tips to keep your outdoor kitchen in tip-top shape.
- Clean stainless steel appliances - Outdoor kitchens have lower maintenance requirements compared to an indoor kitchen, but you'll still need to deeply clean your stainless steel appliances every once and a while. Some soapy water and a soft cloth should be enough, but there are also special polishes you can use to remove smudges, fingerprints, and stains if needed. They also help the appliances keep their shine from the stainless steel.
- Perform routine maintenance on your grills - Your grills are probably going to see the most usage, so it's imperative that you take good care of them. If you clean them right after cooking, make sure the grill is cool before starting. Scrub the grates well with a wire brush, wipe away the remaining residue with soapy water and a cloth. Be sure to rinse well. Also, don't ignore the grills other components like the burners, valves, and hoses. Simply use a stiff brush to clean off any grease or buildup. You'll want to also make sure everything is properly connected.
- Wipe off cooking surfaces and countertops - Granite and stone countertops are more susceptible to stains because the building material is very porous. Make sure you wipe them down after cooking and every meal. Wash the surfaces as well to remove any dust and debris that's collected on the top.
- Cover outdoor kitchen with a tarp during the off-seasons - Since Illinois experiences intense winters and heavy snowfall, it's safe to assume you won't be doing much outdoor cooking this time of year. Protect your outdoor kitchen by placing a tarp over the entire setup so it's not severely impacted by the cold weather and doesn't accumulate snowfall on top of the appliances.
