The Cadac Soft Soak 2 Cook is a flexible silicone soaking tray designed specifically for cleaning grill plates from the Cadac 2 Cook 2 and 2 Cook 3 ranges. This food-grade silicone basin holds both grill plates simultaneously, letting you soak away burnt-on residue while you relax after cooking. The tray measures 39 x 34 x 10cm and withstands temperatures up to 220°C, so you can add hot soapy water straight from the kettle.
Fill the Soft Soak with hot soapy water, place your grill plates face down, and leave them for about an hour. The prolonged soak loosens stubborn grease and carbonised bits without any scrubbing, which protects the non-stick coating on your plates. Traditional wire brushes and abrasive cleaners gradually wear down grill plate surfaces, but this method preserves the coating. After soaking, most residue wipes away with a cloth or rinses off under the tap. The one consideration is that you'll need space to set it up whilst soaking, as it can't be moved around easily when filled with water.
The silicone construction folds flat when empty, taking up minimal space in your camping gear or caravan cupboard. You can wrap it around stored grill plates to keep everything together, or stack it with other Cadac accessories. This works well for people who cook outdoors regularly and want to maintain their equipment properly. The flexible material won't crack or split like rigid plastic trays, and the environmentally friendly approach means less chemical cleaner going down the drain at campsites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Cadac grill plates fit the Soft Soak 2 Cook?
The Soft Soak 2 Cook accommodates all grill plate surfaces from the Cadac 2 Cook 2 and 2 Cook 3 product ranges. This includes the ribbed grill plates, flat plates, and griddle plates from these specific models. The tray dimensions of 39 x 34 x 10cm allow both plates to sit inside simultaneously for batch cleaning. It will not fit grill plates from other Cadac ranges such as the Carri Chef or Citi Chef lines, as these have different dimensions.
How long should I soak my Cadac grill plates in the Soft Soak?
Cadac recommends a 60-minute soak in hot soapy water for optimal results. Place the grill plates upside down so the cooking surface faces downward into the water. For heavily burnt-on residue from high-fat foods like sausages or bacon, extending the soak to 90 minutes helps further loosen stubborn deposits. The extended contact time with hot water breaks down carbonised food particles without mechanical scrubbing that damages non-stick coatings.
Can the Soft Soak 2 Cook withstand boiling water?
Yes, the food-grade silicone construction is heat-resistant to 220°C, well above the 100°C temperature of boiling water. You can pour freshly boiled water directly from a kettle into the Soft Soak without damaging the material. This high heat tolerance means the silicone won't warp, melt, or release any chemicals when exposed to very hot water during the cleaning process.
How do I store the Cadac Soft Soak when not in use?
The flexible silicone folds flat for compact storage in caravan cupboards, motorhome lockers, or camping equipment boxes. Many users wrap the folded Soft Soak around their stored grill plates to keep everything together as a single unit. The material is stackable, so you can place it under or over other Cadac accessories without risk of permanent creasing or damage. When folded, it occupies roughly the same footprint as a single grill plate.
Does soaking in the Soft Soak really protect grill plate coatings better than scrubbing?
Yes, prolonged water soaking removes food residue through hydration and dissolution rather than mechanical abrasion. Wire brushes, metal scrapers, and abrasive scourers gradually wear away the non-stick coating on Cadac grill plates with each cleaning session. The Soft Soak method relies on hot water and detergent to break down burnt-on deposits chemically, leaving the coating intact. This gentler approach extends the lifespan of grill plates by preventing the microscopic scratches that accumulate from repeated scrubbing.
What type of detergent works best with the Cadac Soft Soak?
Standard washing-up liquid works well for most cleaning tasks. For stubborn grease from fatty meats, a degreasing washing-up liquid provides better results during the soak period. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, oven cleaners, or caustic solutions as these offer no advantage over regular detergent when soaking and can potentially degrade the food-grade silicone over time. Biodegradable washing-up liquids suit camping situations where grey water disposal needs consideration.
Can I use the Soft Soak 2 Cook for other BBQ cleaning tasks?
The Soft Soak functions as a general-purpose soaking tray for any camping cookware that fits inside its 39 x 34 x 10cm dimensions. Users soak stainless steel BBQ tools, pot stands, and smaller camping pots in it. The silicone construction won't scratch delicate surfaces, making it suitable for enamelware or non-stick pans. The primary design focus remains on Cadac 2 Cook grill plates, but the tray's versatility extends to other outdoor cooking equipment that benefits from prolonged soaking rather than immediate scrubbing.
