Kadai Firebowl Stage
Rooted in Tradition, Reimagined for Today
At this year’s Cheltenham Food Festival, the Recycled Kadai takes centre stage on the Fire Stage, where cooking becomes a performance. With the fire fully visible, chefs will demonstrate essential live-fire techniques, from managing heat zones to layering flavours with real wood smoke, ideal for grilling, roasting, and slow cooking over open flames — all while showcasing the visual drama only flame cooking can deliver.
With over 40 cookware accessories, the Kadai is one of the most adaptable outdoor cookers available. Whether it’s searing, baking, or smoking, it gives chefs the freedom to explore a world of flavours beyond standard grilling. And with the unmistakable crackle of fire, the scent of wood smoke, and the communal joy of open-flame cooking, the Kadai transforms any outdoor space into a gathering place.
An essential for any aspiring BBQ chef.
