Product Description

The Cadac Chef Pan 50 transforms your portable gas BBQ into a proper campsite kitchen. This aluminium cooking surface fits directly onto both the Carri Chef 50 and Citi Chef 50 ranges, giving you a 45cm flat cooking area that handles everything from full English breakfasts to one-pot pasta dishes. The lightweight construction (just 2kg) makes it practical for caravan and motorhome storage, whilst the 2.5cm depth provides enough capacity for stirring risottos or batch-cooking curries without spilling over the sides.?

What sets this pan apart is the GreenGrill ceramic coating, which is completely PFOA-free and PTFE-free. This organic coating distributes heat more efficiently than traditional non-stick surfaces, meaning you can cook on lower gas settings and use less fuel. The ceramic surface is harder and more scratch-resistant than standard non-stick coatings, so it stands up better to repeated use on campsites where storage space is tight and pans get knocked about. Food releases cleanly without needing excessive oil, and cleanup takes minutes with just warm soapy water.?

The Chef Pan works best on low to medium heat with a short 2-3 minute preheat, which protects the ceramic coating and prevents food from cooking too quickly. It comes with a storage bag for protection during travel and transit. The pan is dishwasher safe, though hand washing extends its lifespan. One thing to note is that you need to let it cool naturally after cooking rather than plunging it into cold water, as sudden temperature changes can damage the ceramic surface through thermal shock.?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Chef Pan 50 and the Paella Pan 50?

The Chef Pan 50 has a lower profile at 2.5cm depth compared to the Paella Pan, and features smaller side handles for compact storage. Both have the same 45cm cooking diameter and GreenGrill ceramic coating, but the Chef Pan's shallower design makes it better suited for frying, sautéing and quick-cooking foods like bacon, eggs and pancakes, whilst the deeper Paella Pan handles larger liquid volumes for rice dishes, stews and casseroles.

Is the Cadac Chef Pan 50 dishwasher safe?

Yes, all Cadac cooking surfaces with GreenGrill ceramic coating are dishwasher safe. However, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge extends the lifespan of the ceramic coating. For stubborn burnt-on food, soak the pan in warm water or use Cadac Soft Soak before cleaning. Avoid metal scourers or abrasive cleaners as these can scratch the ceramic surface.

Why should I use low to medium heat with the Chef Pan 50?

The GreenGrill ceramic coating retains and distributes heat more efficiently than traditional non-stick coatings, so lower heat settings provide the same cooking results whilst using less gas. Cadac recommends a 2-3 minute preheat on low to medium heat. Never leave the pan on high heat without food or oil, as this can damage the ceramic coating. The improved heat distribution also prevents hot spots that cause uneven cooking.

Can I use the Chef Pan 50 on a regular kitchen stovetop?

No, the Cadac Chef Pan 50 is specifically designed as an interchangeable cooking surface for Cadac Carri Chef 50 and Citi Chef 50 gas BBQs. It does not have a flat base suitable for stovetop use and requires the BBQ's burner ring and pot stand system to function correctly. The pan sits directly on the BBQ's burner assembly rather than on a flat cooking surface like a traditional frying pan.

What is GreenGrill coating and is it safe for food contact?

GreenGrill is Cadac's ceramic coating made from organic materials that is completely PFOA-free, PTFE-free and non-toxic. Unlike traditional non-stick coatings that contain Teflon, GreenGrill releases no toxic substances during cooking, making it safer for your health and better for the environment. The ceramic coating is also harder wearing and more scratch-resistant than standard non-stick surfaces, providing longer-lasting performance for outdoor cooking.

How do I prevent thermal shock damage to my Chef Pan 50?

Always allow the Chef Pan 50 to cool down naturally after cooking before washing or storage. Never plunge a hot pan into cold water or expose it to sudden temperature changes, as this causes thermal shock that can crack or warp the ceramic coating and aluminium base. Let the pan cool for at least 15-20 minutes after use, then clean with warm (not cold) soapy water. This simple step significantly extends the pan's working life.

What types of food can I cook in the Chef Pan 50?

The Chef Pan 50 handles all types of campsite cooking including fried breakfasts with bacon, eggs, sausages and mushrooms, pancakes, stir-fries, curries, risotto, pasta dishes, and sautéed vegetables. The 45cm diameter provides enough space for family-sized portions, whilst the 2.5cm depth contains sauces and liquid-based dishes without spillage. The non-stick GreenGrill coating works particularly well for foods that typically stick like eggs and fish.

Does the Chef Pan 50 work with the Cadac dome lid?

The Chef Pan 50 can be used with compatible Cadac dome lids designed for the Carri Chef 50 and Citi Chef 50 ranges. Using the dome lid creates an oven effect that speeds up cooking, retains moisture, and allows for roasting and baking-style cooking on your portable BBQ. The dome also acts as a windshield in breezy campsite conditions. However, many users cook without the lid for traditional frying and sautéing.
