Cadac accessories transform your BBQ into a complete outdoor kitchen through their modular system. This page covers cooking surfaces across the 30, 40, and 50 series ranges, cleaning solutions like the Soft Soak silicone basins, gas connection components including quick release couplings and regulators, plus specialist tools from pizza stones to burger presses. Each accessory fits specific BBQ models based on diameter sizing introduced in 2021, where Series 30 suits Safari Chef 30 models, Series 40 works with Carri Chef 40 and Grillo Chef 40, and Series 50 fits Carri Chef 50 and Citi Chef 50 ranges. Most cooking surfaces feature GreenGrill ceramic coating, a PFAS-free ceramic finish that's harder-wearing than traditional non-stick and withstands temperatures to 220°C whilst reducing gas consumption.
The collection spans interchangeable cooking plates like paella pans, pizza stones made from cordierite, grill-braai combination surfaces, and chef pans with dome lids. Pizza stones need placing on cold BBQs during preheating to prevent thermal shock cracking, whilst the Pro versions include aluminium heat spreaders for superior temperature distribution. Gas supply accessories address different connection needs, from threaded cartridge regulators for EN417 canisters to BBQ point hose kits for caravan external outlets, all featuring 28-30mBar working pressure with self-sealing valves. The 8mm quick release coupling system lets you connect and disconnect without spanners, though fitting one to Safari Chef 30 models means legs won't fold completely flat for storage unless you drill 10mm holes in legs 1 and 2.
Cleaning accessories tackle the main hassle of outdoor cooking. The Soft Soak range provides heat-resistant silicone basins sized exactly for each series (30cm, 40cm, 50cm diameter), letting you soak grids upside-down for 60 minutes to lift burnt-on residue without scrubbing away the GreenGrill coating. These stackable, foldable basins tolerate temperatures to 220°C and wrap around grids for compact storage. Utensils include 28cm and 36cm silicone tongs, 38cm nylon spatulas, stainless steel skewers, and an 11cm burger press for consistent patties. Storage covers protect each BBQ model from UV and weather damage. Worth noting that GreenGrill surfaces need wooden, nylon, or silicone tools only as metal utensils damage the ceramic coating, and the surfaces heat quickly so require just 2-3 minutes preheating on low-medium settings to prevent food sticking and prolong coating life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which Cadac accessories fit my BBQ model?Cadac introduced a sizing system in 2021 based on BBQ diameter measured in centimetres. Series 30 accessories fit Safari Chef 30 models with 30cm cooking diameter. Series 40 accessories work with Carri Chef 40, Grillo Chef 40, Citi Chef 40, and E-Braai models using 40cm surfaces. Series 50 accessories suit Carri Chef 50 and Citi Chef 50 ranges with 50cm diameter cooking areas. The product name directly shows compatibility, like Chef Pan 50 fitting Carri Chef 50 because both measure 50cm diameter. This replaced older naming where Carri Chef 2 became Carri Chef 50 with no technical changes, only clearer size indication.What is Cadac GreenGrill ceramic coating and how do I care for it?GreenGrill is a PFAS-free ceramic coating applied to most Cadac cooking surfaces including grids, paella pans, and grill plates. The coating is harder and more heat-resistant than traditional PTFE non-stick surfaces, withstanding temperatures beyond 220 degrees Celsius whilst distributing heat more efficiently to reduce gas consumption. To maintain GreenGrill surfaces, preheat for only two to three minutes on low to medium heat as ceramic heats rapidly and retains temperature well. Use wooden, nylon, or silicone utensils exclusively because metal tools scratch and damage the coating. Clean with warm soapy water and soft sponges, avoiding abrasive scrubbers and steel wool. After washing, lightly coat with cooking oil using kitchen paper to seal the surface from moisture. Store in the supplied bags to prevent scratching during transport or storage.How does the Cadac Soft Soak cleaning basin work?The Soft Soak is a food-safe silicone basin specifically sized to completely submerge Cadac cooking grids for soaking without scrubbing. Available in sizes matching Series 30, 40, and 50 diameters plus a special 2 Cook version, each basin contains the grid and water perfectly for full coverage. To use, pour hot soapy water into the Soft Soak, place the grid upside down, and soak for 60 minutes allowing burnt-on food and grease to lift naturally. The heat-resistant silicone tolerates temperatures to 220 degrees Celsius. After soaking, rinse with hot water and wipe with a soft cloth. This method protects GreenGrill ceramic coatings from damage caused by harsh scrubbing and abrasive cleaners. The flexible silicone is stackable, foldable, and wraps around grids during storage, making it compact for caravans and motorhomes.What gas connection accessories do I need for my Cadac BBQ?The gas accessories required depend on your gas source and BBQ model. Low pressure Cadac BBQs like Safari Chef 30 QR LP, Grillo Chef 40, and Carri Chef 50 operate at 28 to 30 millibar and connect directly to caravan external BBQ points without additional regulators. For EN417 threaded gas cartridges, you need the Threaded Cartridge Regulator QR with 85cm hose and quick release connector. For Calor or Flogas refillable cylinders, use the appropriate BBQ Point and Hose Kit with screw-on regulator, available in 3 metre and 5 metre lengths. The 8mm Quick Release coupling converts standard hose connections to push-pull fittings with self-sealing valves, eliminating the need for spanners during connection and disconnection. All regulators should be replaced every five years for safety. Working pressure specifications are 28 to 37 millibar for UK compliance with both butane and propane gas types.How do I properly use a Cadac pizza stone?Cadac pizza stones are made from cordierite ceramic that withstands temperatures to 300 degrees Celsius. Place the stone on the pot stand of your cold BBQ before preheating because placing a cold stone on a hot BBQ causes thermal shock cracking from rapid temperature change. Preheat on maximum heat with the dome closed for three to five minutes, then immediately reduce to low heat setting. Sprinkle cake flour or semolina on the preheated stone to prevent sticking. Baking time depends on pizza thickness, outdoor temperature, and topping weight, typically eight to ten minutes. Pizza Stone Pro models include aluminium heat spreaders underneath for superior even heating across the entire surface. Never immerse pizza stones in water as the porous cordierite absorbs moisture and breaks during next use. Clean by wiping with a damp cloth after cooling completely, scraping stubborn residue with a metal dough scraper. Never use detergent because the stone absorbs soap taste. Darkening and staining over time is normal seasoning that improves performance.Why does food stick to my Cadac cooking surface?Food sticking is caused primarily by overheating GreenGrill ceramic surfaces. Ceramic heats quickly and retains heat efficiently, requiring only two to three minutes preheating on low to medium settings. High heat is unnecessary and damages the coating whilst increasing gas consumption. When cooking meat, allow it to seal and form a crust before attempting to turn. If food resists lifting, the seal has not formed and needs additional cooking time. Season new surfaces by rubbing sunflower or peanut oil into the coating, heating on low for two to three minutes, cooling, then washing with warm soapy water. After each cleaning, apply a light oil coating with kitchen paper to seal the surface from air and moisture. Food residue left on surfaces becomes burnt and carbonised during subsequent cooking, creating sticky spots. Clean thoroughly after every use, removing all debris before storage. Replace surfaces showing brown burnt spots that resist cleaning as these indicate permanent coating damage from improper cleaning or excessive heat.Can I use Cadac accessories from older models with new BBQs?Accessories from pre-2021 models remain fully compatible with current ranges if the cooking diameter matches. When Cadac renamed products in 2021, the Carri Chef 2 became Carri Chef 50, Grillo Chef 2 became Grillo Chef 40, and similar changes occurred across the range with no technical modifications, only name clarification based on diameter. All Series 50 accessories work with both old Carri Chef 2 models and new Carri Chef 50 models because the 50cm cooking diameter stayed identical. Similarly, Grillo Chef 2 owners can use any Series 40 accessories designed for current Grillo Chef 40 or Carri Chef 40 models. Check the cooking surface diameter of your BBQ and match it to the accessory series number. Accessories for different diameter series are not interchangeable because sizes differ significantly. A 40cm paella pan will not fit properly on a 50cm BBQ and a 50cm pizza stone is too large for 40cm models.Are Cadac cooking surfaces dishwasher safe?Most Cadac GreenGrill ceramic cooking surfaces are dishwasher safe including BBQ grids, grill plates, paella pans, and combination surfaces. The grease collection trays are also dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm soapy water and soft sponges is recommended to prolong coating life and maintain optimal non-stick properties. Never put pizza stones in dishwashers or immerse them in water because the porous cordierite absorbs moisture causing cracking during subsequent heating. Roast pans, skottel tops, and dome lids with porcelain enamel coating should be soaked after use then cleaned with hot soapy water and soft cloths. For stubborn residue on enamel parts, use Cadac BBQ Cleaner spray but never on GreenGrill ceramic surfaces. Stainless steel components like lids can be wiped with clean water and soft cloths, then lightly coated with baby oil or vegetable oil to protect against surface rust. Avoid automatic dishwasher cycles for items you want to last multiple seasons.What is the difference between Cadac Pizza Stone and Pizza Stone Pro?The Pizza Stone Pro includes an aluminium heat spreader plate underneath the cordierite stone whilst standard pizza stones have no heat spreader. This aluminium plate distributes heat evenly across the entire stone surface, improving oven performance and baking consistency. Both types are made from cordierite ceramic withstanding 300 degrees Celsius and measure 12 millimetres thick. Pizza Stone Pro models come with protective storage bags. The heat spreader is particularly beneficial on gas BBQs where flames create hot spots, as it diffuses heat before reaching the stone for more uniform cooking temperature. Standard pizza stones work well but may have slight temperature variations across the surface depending on burner placement. Pro versions cost more but deliver superior results for serious pizza enthusiasts. Both types require identical care including gradual preheating from cold, flour dusting to prevent sticking, and cloth-only cleaning without water immersion or detergent. Choose based on your budget and how frequently you bake pizzas outdoors.
