Hello
We have a Cadac Carri Chef 2. Have only used it once, and the meal was not a success. Steak was bland and tastless, no bbq taste at all. It was also a pain to clean. Husband now hates the bbq and says we've wasted money on it. Can anyone please give us some tips on where we are going wrong with it or what we are meant to cook on it? Many thanks

We have had our Cadac for 3 years now and love it. As others have said it isn't really a BBQ so you won't get that charcoal taste from it but we do burgers etc on it a lot and they always taste great and it cooks very quickly. We bought the stone pizza tray for it too and that is fantastic the pizzas are excellent cooked on it. It can be difficult to clean but I have never found it too much of a pain. There are lots of things you can cook on it we have done currys, roast chicken, steaks etc all good it just takes a bit of getting used to like what surfaces to use for each food etc.
I would agree with everything Francis says, we've had our Cadac for 5 years now and wouldn't be without abroad. I've made pancakes on the flat plate no problem, burgers, fish, steaks etc. on the ridged plate, curries on the gas ring and stir frys in the Wok.
Cleaning tip for the non stick plates is to wipe them with with a little oil after washing, try not to scrub the plates as this diminishes the non stick properties.

We have a cooker in the caravan, so don't need one of these grills.......
But when its over 25c its to hot to cook inside, much more civilised to sit outside in the shade having a beer/wine, who wants cooking smells especially fish inside the van when you don't have to

I'm not a fan of fish - unless it's fried with chips! I manage quiet well with my steak, sausage, burgers and mushrooms on the BBQ grill - and finish of with a camembert cheese wrapped in foil and grilled. Ideal for dipping French bread. Good for a full English breakfast too - on the non-stick griddle. (Hint: I always use a baco-glide sheet - it makes the griddle much easier to clean)
