Hi all. I have just bought a carri chef 2 with paella pan, roasting dish pizza stone and tapas set. When I was looking for info before buying I was finding that most of the postings/threads were referring to the older style cadac. So as I haven't had chance to use all of the bits yet and will have questions along the way I thought I would like to start a topic on the new carri chef 2.
I have mostly used the paella pan which was brilliant and no problems. By the way, I was told by cadac to use the paella pan on the pot stand rather than locators on the fat tray which seems to work fine. I then tried the roasting pan which I stood on the wire stand provided with it located in the locators in the fat tray. I found that although the whole chicken cooked well, the bottom of it was completely burnt. The chicken was sat on the wire rack provided in the roasting pan. I cooked on the lowest gas setting for a couple of hours.am I doing something wrong? Roast spuds were a bit black too. I would be grateful for any info.
Thanks
Mick

Hi Mick
I too have one of these but haven't had chance tho use it yet!
I bought the roasting pan but already have a largish paella pan so thought I'd have a go with that first!
This from someone who bought a Safari Chef years ago and initially hated it!
I'll follow this posting with interest and hopefully someone will come along to help us
Hi. Mantrachant and thanks for your reply. I bought mine at the end of June, mainly for use when caravanning but as my next trip away is not until end of July I have it set up in my back garden using it daily to get used to all the bits. I used the bbq grid last night for sausage and burgers and it was very successful. I was surprised at how easy it was to clean.I wonder if it will clean up as easily in 5 years time.
Mick.

I bought mine for a place local though they did deliver it 164.00 for next day delivery of teh carri chef 2 chef pan combo They had even been talking toe the chef employed at the Caravan show by Cadac He said avoid the paella pan use the chef pan and the skottle by a wok and use on pot stand as its easier also dont bother with the roast dish as it doesn't cook very evenly use the grid plate and chicken on a beer can type method.
The pizza stone was a great idea but in practice stayed hot and marked several tables. He even said said if anyone could come up with a really good use for the Braai grill he would be interested.
They seem to be one of the biggest sellers of these now and at 164.0 delivered I could not find cheaper
2 good tips I did get was 1 use a decent quality bin bag as a cover an then throw away with rubbish after a few days as the original covers things stick to them tree sap anything floating in the air. 2 take a cake tin with you a Victoria sponge type so about 7 inches and 2 inches tall and you can use that on the grid plate if cooking bacon and sausage and want to do eggs or chicken and pork steaks and want a warm sauce.
