These 36cm silicone tongs are built specifically for the CADAC BBQ range, although they're also suitable general campsite cooking. The silicone tips won't scratch your cooking surfaces and they're heat-resistant up to 260°C, handling hot food straight off the BBQ or skillet without melting or warping. The length gives you proper reach without burning your hands, which matters when you're cooking over an open flame or hot plate at a campsite where you can't always position yourself ideally. They're lightweight enough to pack easily but sturdy enough for regular use, with campers using them for everything from turning sausages to serving salads.
What makes these particularly useful for CADAC owners is the grip design works well with the Carri Chef's various cooking surfaces, whether you're using the dome lid or the flat BBQ grill. The stainless steel handles provide enough rigidity to grip heavier items like chicken breasts or thick burgers, while the silicone coating on the gripping end gives you control when lifting delicate fish fillets. The silicone won't melt if you accidentally leave them resting on a hot surface for a moment, though don't make a habit of it. At 36cm they're compact enough for a caravan drawer but long enough to keep your hands well away from heat. The clip-lock mechanism keeps them closed during transport, and the hanging loop lets you hook them onto your caravan kitchen rail or motorhome utensil rack.
These aren't going to revolutionize your camping setup, but they're one of those practical bits of kit that you'll reach for constantly once you've got them. They work perfectly with the Carri Chef range but they're versatile enough for home use too. Worth noting that while they're dishwasher safe, hand washing extends their life since the silicone can eventually degrade with repeated high-heat dishwasher cycles. The build quality is solid for the price point, though if you're really rough with your gear you might find metal tongs with silicone tips last longer. One thing to note is that silicone tongs don't have the same precise grip as metal-tipped versions, so if you're regularly handling small items like cherry tomatoes or mushrooms, you might find them a bit clumsy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these tongs specifically designed for the CADAC Carri Chef BBQ range?
Yes, these 36cm Silicone Tongs are built specifically for the CADAC Carri Chef BBQs, with a grip design that works well with the Carri Chef's various cooking surfaces including the dome lid and flat BBQ grill. However, they're versatile enough for general campsite cooking and work with other portable BBQs, camping stoves, and even home barbecues. The silicone tips are designed to protect the non-stick surfaces found on Carri Chef cooking plates.
What temperature can the silicone tips withstand?
The silicone tips on these Cadac tongs are heat-resistant up to 260°C, which is sufficient for grabbing hot food straight off the BBQ or skillet. This temperature rating means they're safe for handling food on hot grills and griddles. The silicone won't melt if you accidentally leave them resting on a hot surface for a moment, though leaving them on extremely hot cooking surfaces for extended periods could eventually damage the material.
How does the clip-lock mechanism work?
The clip-lock mechanism is a sliding ring on the handle that moves down to keep the tongs closed when not in use. You push the ring towards the silicone tips to lock them shut, which reduces their packed size from 36cm to a more compact length. This makes them easier to store in caravan drawers or camping boxes and prevents them from opening accidentally during transport between campsites.
Should I hand wash or dishwasher these tongs?
While these Cadac tongs are dishwasher safe if you have access to facilities on site, hand washing extends their life. The silicone can eventually degrade with repeated high-heat dishwasher cycles, so washing with warm soapy water will help them last longer. They clean up easily by hand, and because they're one-piece construction with no joints or springs, there's nowhere for grease or food debris to get trapped during cleaning.
Are 36cm tongs too long for compact camping storage?
At 36cm, these tongs are compact enough for a caravan drawer or camping kitchen box while still providing excellent reach to keep your hands well away from heat. The clip-lock mechanism reduces their packed size further when closed, making them practical for storage in motorhomes and caravans. The length is particularly useful when cooking over open flames or hot plates at campsites where you can't always position yourself ideally, and the hanging loop means you can hook them onto rails rather than using drawer space.
Will these tongs work with other CADAC models besides the Carri Chef 50?
Yes, these tongs work with all CADAC portable BBQs including the Safari Chef, other Carri Chef models, Citi Chef and Eazi Chef ranges. While they're specifically designed for the Carri Chef 50, the silicone tips are suitable for protecting non-stick cooking surfaces found across the entire CADAC product range. They're also versatile enough for use with Cobb cookers and other portable camping cooking equipment, as well as standard home barbecues.
