  Product Description
The Cadac BBQ 2 Plancha 50 is an interchangeable cooking surface that fits both the Carri Chef 50 and Citi Chef 50 gas barbecues, transforming your outdoor cooking setup into a versatile cooking station. This ceramic-coated plancha features Cadac's GreenGrill coating, which is made from organic materials and contains no PTFE or PFOA, meaning you won't release any toxic substances whilst cooking. The half-ribbed, half-flat design lets you cook multiple dishes at once. Grill steaks and burgers on the ribbed side whilst frying eggs and pancakes on the smooth side.?

The GreenGrill ceramic coating can withstand temperatures up to 400 degrees and proves harder wearing and more scratch-resistant than traditional non-stick surfaces. Built-in grease drainage holes on the ribbed side channel away excess fats for healthier cooking, whilst the integrated heat deflector ensures even heat distribution across the 46cm cooking surface. The plancha weighs 3kg, making it light enough to transport between the caravan and campsite, yet substantial enough for stable cooking.?

This cooking surface requires just warm soapy water and a soft sponge to clean after use, with no need for harsh abrasives or steel wool that can damage the coating. The ceramic coating retains and distributes heat more efficiently than PTFE alternatives, resulting in lower gas consumption during cooking. A storage bag comes included to protect the GreenGrill surface from scratches when not in use.?

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Cadac barbecue models is the BBQ 2 Plancha 50 compatible with?
The BBQ 2 Plancha 50 is designed to fit both the Carri Chef 50 and Citi Chef 50 ranges of gas barbecues. Cadac uses a modular system where the number designation indicates compatibility, so any accessory marked with 50 will fit barbecues in the 50 series. The plancha sits on the locators within the fat pan after removing the pot stand. This interchangeable system allows you to expand your cooking options across multiple surfaces including pizza stones, paella pans and various grills.
What is GreenGrill ceramic coating and why is it better than traditional non-stick?
GreenGrill is a ceramic coating made from organic materials that contains no PTFE or PFOA, meaning it releases no toxic substances during cooking at any temperature up to 400 degrees Celsius. Traditional non-stick coatings use PTFE, commonly known as Teflon, which can release harmful fumes when overheated. The GreenGrill ceramic surface is harder wearing and more scratch-resistant than PTFE coatings, whilst also retaining and distributing heat more efficiently, which reduces gas consumption. The coating is environmentally friendly and provides excellent non-stick performance without chemical additives.
How do I clean and maintain the ceramic coating on the BBQ 2 Plancha 50?
Allow the plancha to cool completely after cooking, then wash it with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Never use steel wool, metal scrapers, or abrasive cleaning pads as these will damage the ceramic coating. For stubborn residue, soak the plancha in hot soapy water for 30 minutes before cleaning. Always use wooden or silicone utensils whilst cooking to prevent scratching the surface. After cleaning and drying, lightly coat the surface with a few drops of sunflower or rapeseed oil using kitchen paper before storing in the supplied bag. This maintains the non-stick properties and protects the coating.
Do I need to season the ceramic plancha before first use?
Whilst ceramic coatings do not require seasoning like traditional cast iron, seasoning your BBQ 2 Plancha 50 before first use creates a thin protective layer that reduces sticking during initial cooking sessions. Rub a small amount of sunflower or peanut oil onto the cooking surface, then place it on the barbecue at low to medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Allow it to cool, then wash with warm soapy water. Avoid olive oil as it has a low smoke point. After each use, lightly oil the surface before storage to maintain optimal non-stick performance.
What temperature should I cook at on the ceramic plancha?
Always cook on low to medium heat settings with the BBQ 2 Plancha 50. High temperatures are not required and will damage the ceramic coating whilst also increasing gas consumption. Preheat the plancha for just 2 to 3 minutes before adding food. The GreenGrill ceramic coating retains and distributes heat more efficiently than PTFE surfaces, so lower temperatures produce excellent cooking results. The coating can withstand temperatures up to 400 degrees Celsius, but cooking at lower settings extends the lifespan of the coating and prevents food from sticking or burning.
How do the grease drainage holes work on the ribbed side?
The ribbed side of the BBQ 2 Plancha 50 features drainage holes that allow excess fats and cooking juices to flow away from your food into the barbecue's fat pan below. This creates healthier cooking results by reducing the amount of grease your food sits in during grilling. The drainage system works particularly well when cooking fatty meats like bacon, sausages, or burgers on the ribbed side. The flat side does not have drainage holes, making it ideal for foods where you want to retain moisture or cook in liquids, such as fried eggs, pancakes, or stir-fries.
Can I use metal utensils on the ceramic coating?
No, you should never use metal utensils on the BBQ 2 Plancha 50 as they can scratch and damage the GreenGrill ceramic coating. Always use wooden, silicone, or heat-resistant plastic utensils when cooking. Whilst the ceramic coating is harder and more scratch-resistant than traditional PTFE non-stick surfaces, metal tools can still cause permanent damage that compromises the non-stick properties. Scratches in the coating can also create areas where food sticks during cooking. Protecting the ceramic surface with proper utensils ensures the plancha maintains its performance throughout its lifespan.
What is the built-in heat deflector and why does it matter?
The BBQ 2 Plancha 50 features a built-in heat deflector on the underside that sits between the burner and the cooking surface. This deflector distributes heat evenly across the entire 46cm diameter cooking surface, eliminating hot spots that can cause uneven cooking or burning. The heat deflector also speeds up the heating time so the plancha reaches cooking temperature faster, which conserves gas. This even heat distribution is particularly important when using both sides of the plancha simultaneously, ensuring your grilled items and fried foods cook at consistent rates.
Is the BBQ 2 Plancha 50 dishwasher safe?
No, the BBQ 2 Plancha 50 should not be cleaned in a dishwasher. The harsh detergents and high temperatures in dishwashers can damage the GreenGrill ceramic coating and reduce its non-stick properties over time. Hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is the recommended cleaning method. This gentle approach preserves the coating whilst effectively removing cooking residue. The ceramic coating makes hand cleaning quick and easy as food does not stick to the surface. After washing, dry the plancha thoroughly with a soft cloth before applying a light coating of oil and storing in the supplied bag.
What foods work best on the ribbed side versus the flat side?
The ribbed side excels at grilling foods where you want sear marks and fat drainage, including steaks, chicken breasts, fish fillets, burgers, sausages, and bacon. The raised ridges create attractive grill lines whilst the drainage holes allow excess fat to escape. The flat side is ideal for foods that require a smooth surface or might fall through grill grates, such as fried eggs, pancakes, French toast, diced vegetables for stir-fries, prawns, scallops, and thinly sliced meats. You can cook simultaneously on both sides, preparing a full breakfast with bacon on the ribbed side and eggs on the flat side at the same time.
