The Cadac 28cm Silicone Tongs give you the right reach when cooking on portable barbecues and camping stoves without getting your hands too close to the heat. The silicone heads won't scratch non-stick surfaces on your camping cookware, which matters when you're using coated pans that need to last multiple seasons. They handle temperatures up to 260°C, so you can flip sausages directly on a hot grill plate or turn vegetables in a frying pan without the tips melting or warping.
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. At 28cm long, they're compact enough to pack in a camping kitchen box but long enough to keep your hands away from direct flame when cooking over a Cadac, Cobb or similar portable cooker. The clip-lock mechanism keeps them closed when you're packing them away, stopping them taking up unnecessary space in your caravan drawer or motorhome storage. The hanging loop on the end lets you hook them onto your caravan kitchen rail or motorhome utensil rack rather than taking up drawer space.
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. They clean easily with washing-up liquid and warm water, and because they're one-piece construction with no joints or springs, there's nowhere for grease or food debris to get trapped. They're dishwasher safe if you've got access to facilities on site, making cleanup straightforward after a long day of camping cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these tongs compatible with all Cadac BBQ models?
Yes, the Cadac 28cm Silicone Tongs work with all Cadac portable BBQs including the Safari Chef, Carri Chef, Citi Chef and Eazi Chef ranges. The silicone tips are designed to protect the non-stick cooking surfaces found on most Cadac grills and griddles. They're also suitable for use with other brands of camping BBQs and standard home barbecues.
What temperature can the silicone tips withstand?
The silicone tips on these Cadac tongs are heat-resistant up to approximately 230°C, which is sufficient for normal BBQ cooking. This temperature rating means they're safe for handling food on hot grills and griddles, but you shouldn't leave them resting directly on extremely hot cooking surfaces for extended periods as this could damage the silicone over time.
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 28cm 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.
Can I put these tongs in the dishwasher?
No, these Cadac tongs should be hand washed only. While both stainless steel and silicone materials could technically survive a dishwasher cycle, hand washing extends their lifespan and prevents potential damage to the silicone tips. Wash them in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly before storing to prevent water spots on the stainless steel handle.
Are 28cm tongs long enough for safe BBQ use?
The 28cm length provides adequate reach for most portable camping BBQs and compact grills. This size gives you enough distance from the heat source to avoid burns while remaining short enough to pack easily in camping equipment. For very large home barbecues or commercial-sized grills, you might prefer longer tongs, but for Cadac BBQs and similar portable camping cooking equipment, 28cm is a practical length that balances reach with portability.
