Hi we have the cadac safari chef and there is nothing we cannot cook on it. As for Bacon we do it either griddle side or frying side depending on what else is being cooked. Sometimes also do it on the BBQ wire mesh grill. Its all about practice and fun with the cadac.

Try also obtaining a roasting pan then the world really is your oyster, Roast beef, Chicken, Pies, etc.

just enjoy

Chris

I always use the flat side of the double-sided plate for my fry up.

Keller, do you have the official paella pan? It's quite pricey in on the hunt for a cheaper one :) what else do you cook?

Yeah ... have the official one ... via amazon, last year.
Pricey .. as you say ... but a lot of people say it's the best 'all rounder' accessory for the Cadac ... you can do almost anything on it.
There have been hundreds of posts on the cadac ...
May I suggest you look at the list of these ... then select a few and browse ... there's tons of very useful info:

I always use a lean, lightly smoked, pork belly for my bacon. Preferably smoked at 80ºC over some hickory on cocopeat briquettes after a 10 day dry cure in the fridge. I also use a Chargriller Pro-smoker.

As for frying, I use a cast iron skillet at medium temperature with only a drop of olive oil, then put in a few slices of thick cut bacon and fry them on both sides, flattened by a bacon press to keep it flat. Afterwards, I put them on kitchen towel for a few seconds to drain off the extra fat and have them nice and crispy with my fried egg on buttered toast. Welsh, Salted butter, of course...

That sounds fantastic Freebird, but I am now very hungry (where's the frying pan?)

Another vote for the paella pan, its the only cooking surface we use now, we don't even take the others with us.
