Electric grill/griddle plate

We have a Judge brand one but have only used it in the UK. It's great for doing cooked breakfasts - sausage, bacon, mushrooms, black puddings, tomatoes, even eggs.  We've also enjoyed chops and steaks.  There's only two of us and so there's plenty of room on it for our needs but I'm sure you could do enough for more people.

The only down side is the cleaning of it after use as all the juices/fat run into the channel so it has to have a good wash at the end of the cooking.

It cost around £45 and we've had it for about three years now.

You are slipping JJ. This post should be moved to european travel or the one about parts and accessories, or perhaps both or even left here but duplicated to the others!

As you say Bestboy, it could go in any one of two or three sections, i.e. Overseas Sites and Touring, Parts and Accessories, Food and Drink, so I left it here rather than move it for the sake of as it could be useful to people not travelling overseas.  

Thank you, JillwithaJay. That sounds ideal. I will follow it up.

I have these they come in different sizes

But a Cadac isn't a barbecue is it? Isn't it just a grill?

Thanks, Bigkev2000. I have had a look and this could be just the thing.

breneo, be careful what you buy watts wise as some sites in France are as low as 6amp and you could blow the bollard, I have an electric frypan/multioven thing which I use when away (as welll as cadac) its 1500w but at low and medium heat it works fine as long as I don't put the kettle or microwave on.  I haven't come across a site that doesn't allow gas BBQ its usually the coke ones they don't like or electric ones we've seen banned.

We have a two ring electric hob, with one large and one small ring (bought for about £14.99 for ALDI) - and have used it on many sites in France without any problem.  You just have to remember not to boil the kettle or have the water heater on at the same time.

We then use a cast iron griddle on the larger ring for griddling steak or burgers.  This also means we can use the rings for other types of cooking as well.

You make a good point Tammygirl. You never know with the electrical supply on French sites. I have checked the 'reglement interieur' for our site and it says: "BARBECUE Tous les barbecues (électriques, gaz, charbon…) sont strictement interdits sur les emplacements nus (tentes, caravanes et camping car)."
