Cadac Safari Chef 2 Review

Having been camping for most of our lives, we know that cooking outdoors is a big draw to the holidaying and past time. My parents purchased a Cadac many years ago and we used it to cook everything from the morning breakfast to curries, chilli and BBQs. As soon as we took the plunge to buy our caravan, buying a Cadac was high on our purchase list of must buys. Cadac’s moto is ‘Live the Braai Life’, there products put family at the centre.

Our Cadac is a staple of our caravanning trips

We felt that the Safari Chef 2 would be the ideal size for the two of us and would also not take up to much room in the caravan when not in use. Soon after getting our caravan we visited the new Motorhome & Campervan Sale at the East of England Showground. Despite the huge range of stalls at the show we weren’t able to find the Cadac Safari 2 for a cheaper price than at Go Outdoors! When buying our Cadac we purchased the quick release connector thinking that this would save having to use a spanner to keep connecting and reconnecting to the gas bottle. Unfortunately if you want to collapse the legs and have them lock in the closed position you cannot use this assessory, something that is very disappointing as you can actually buy the quick release (QR) packaged with the Cadac Safari Chef 2 PRO QR.

Cadac Quick Release

Having research into others views into the incompatibility of the QR and have found that Cadac have now released a new angled quick release that solves this problem.

New Angled Quick Release

The Safari Chef 2 is a very versatile piece of camping equipment, all sets come with interchangeable tops including a pot stand, BBQ top, a flat griddle and a pan/dom. The very handy thing is all of this can be put into the carry bag that is also included. The legs of the Safari Chef 2 fold down easily (if you do not use the quick release!)

Curries are very popular in the Two Go Towing household, so to allow us to make our favourites we have also purchased the lid for the pod/dom. There are also a number of other accessories that you can purchase including a Pizza stone and small tapas/egg pans.
