IKEA BÅTSKÄR – A Complete Outdoor Kitchen for Flexible Cooking

20.08.2025

Cooking outdoors is becoming more popular, and IKEA has stepped up with the BÅTSKÄR series – a smart and modular system designed to bring the comfort of an indoor kitchen outside. With a robust design, stainless steel worktops, and multiple grill options, BÅTSKÄR makes it easier than ever to create a functional and stylish outdoor cooking space.

A design built for outdoor life

The BÅTSKÄR series is crafted from powder-coated steel combined with stainless steel surfaces that stand up to outdoor conditions. The clean, dark gray finish gives it a modern and industrial look, while the stainless steel adds a professional touch. It's built to last and to handle everything from quick weekday grilling to larger gatherings.

Modular and flexible combinations

What makes BÅTSKÄR so appealing is its flexibility. The series allows you to create the exact type of outdoor kitchen you want:

  • Charcoal or gas grill – choose your preferred cooking method.

  • Side burner option – perfect for sauces, sides, or boiling vegetables.

  • Workbenches – ideal for food prep or serving.

  • Sink unit – combine with BOHOLMEN sink and KALLSJÖN faucet for running water outside.

  • Smart storage – integrated hooks, utensil drawers, and open shelving keep everything organized.

This modular approach means you can start with a simple grill station and expand it into a complete kitchen as your needs grow.

Style and usability

BÅTSKÄR combines functionality with sleek design. The spacious worktops provide room for prep work, while the large lid and warming rack on the grill make it easy to cook for family and friends. Whether you're slow-cooking or making a quick dinner, the layout keeps everything you need close at hand.

Final thoughts

With IKEA BÅTSKÄR, outdoor cooking becomes both practical and enjoyable. The modular system lets you build a setup that suits your space, while the durable materials ensure it will hold up season after season.
