What is an outpost kitchen?

An outpost kitchen refers to a smaller kitchen that is situated away from the main food preparation area. This type of kitchen is often used to facilitate cooking or serve food in a different location, allowing for increased efficiency in settings where food service is needed in multiple areas. The design and setup of an outpost kitchen can vary, depending on its intended use, but its key feature is that it operates independently of the main kitchen, serving as an additional resource for food preparation or service.

Outdoor kitchens, secondary commercial kitchens, or kitchens used specifically for presentations have distinct purposes that do not align with the definition of an outpost kitchen, focusing instead on outdoor cooking dynamics, commercial operations, or demonstration cooking spaces, respectively.
