What am I missing with the foil idea????.....

 

[pappajohn]

Easier to clean out the base and burner area. Just screw up the foil and a quick wipe inside.

Is this one of those spot the difference photo competitions.?

 

[Swifter]

I think it’s to catch the fat to make cleaning up easier . That said it’s the grill pan that gets the most dirty and it won’t help with that . I normally add a little water to the fat tray before use to make the clean up easier . Just spray and wipe up the fat in a paper towel. .

Does it not spit and fire like crazy?

I have not got a cadac, am I missing out on the chance of winning the lottery or are they just over hyped bits of kit that people have bought and are frightened to criticise for fear of ridicule? No Idea , no intention of getting one!

That was our conclusion so we sold ours.

Not at all . Works fine. Spits more without the water

We have one and I hate it

Wellll. technically.. Matt black absorbs heat while a shiny surface will reflect it,,, Perhaps trying to keep more heat in?
Personally I reckon its as already said, makes it easier to clean

 

[M-J]

I too put some water in the bottom when using the bbq griddle.

In the first photo the meat is medium rare, but in the second photo they are medium to well!

I bought a calor gas party grill much cheaper and does the same job.
You’ve not been in the scouts or guides then.
If you rub washingup liquid on the outside of the pan your using be it on a fire bbq or gas flame when you wash it up it will be sparkly clean.
The washing up liquid forms a layer that just washes off.

 

[Manxcat]

I've tried 3 cadacs all useless. No buying another one.

We’ve had several Cadac and not impressed with any of them!
Pain in the a...se to clean when in MoHo!
The only “BBQ” I really liked using was a Beauclaire type, we had but, way too heavy really for MoHo!

Interesting . Lots of negative comments about the Cadac range as usual . I find them very good as you can store them away with the bag and detachable legs . I admit they would be a nightmare to wash up in a motorhome . I use the camp site washing up areas . Not sure of any alternative products that are portable and more easy to clean ?

As I said above, I sold ours. We use a Cobb BBQ (charcoal fired) that is much easier to use and to clean when off grid. It is saying something when you’d rather use a charcoal powered device over a gas powered one but it is such an easy device to, light, cook on and clean that it is our favoured device.

We have 2. One the original with two burners and the other a Safari Chef 2. They do exactly as promised. A good product and if used correctly will produce decent food. If your a crap chef it really doesn't matter what your using.

We have 2 Cadac's and we love them and I don't get the difficult to clean gripes and I have no problem with that ?
The Safari Chef 2 does not get much of an outing these days as it's a little to small to get all the meat I want to eat on it all in one go, so I bought a 2 Cook 2 which has easily overcome that problem.
I use nonstick cooking sheets on the griddle plates which just wipe clean.

 

[chaser]

Yeah , in the hate em camp, when we started we wanted all the right gear, so looking at how folks bulled these things up, we bought one, absolutely the worse thing we ever got.
The thing for us , we try to do as little cooking and washing jobs we can, we are on holiday, we can have a steak meal, all cooked, cleaned up, eaten and in bed with a disposable BBQ, in the time it takes to even set up a cadac, never mind having to keep lighting it when it blows out, and the cleaning they get all greased up everywhere, all the various bits don't fit the van sink, then you have start packing the bloody thing up again.
Nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!

Each to their own preferences, we have a CADAC as it suits our needs, nothing over hyped any more than any other type of grill / barbecue unit.
life would be boring if we all had to like / use the same equipment.

 

[M-J]

I clean the larger bits outside after cooking, a quick splash of hot soapy water, clean and rinse. Normally cleaned within 5 minutes while the wife does the normal washing up in the MH.

 

[Steve N Tracy]

I am lazy, once I have finished cooking, I just turn it up high and leave it until it stops smoking, turn it off and let it cool down, fat and residue turn to grey ash and can be brushed off, same sort of principle as a vehicle exhaust catalyst.

Big trug of soapy water - chuck it in when done

 

[Swifter]

I think I need to invent a barbecue that unpacks itself , lights itself , cooks the food for you and then cleans up and packs itself away . Judging by some of the comments , sales would be very good!

Tried them . They struggle to get hot enough to cook one “real “ burger . Let alone cook for a family of 5

 

[Two on Tour]

I think half the problem is that it's normally the worst cook in the house that's in charge of the BBQ.
