Southwest Disk Review | 22" Carbon Steel Plow Disc Cook Pan

- This is a review of the 22" Discada by Southwest Disk. Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Southwest Disk is Veteran-owned. On our video review of three, single-burner stoves, Jody N. left a comment asking for a comparison of the Southwest Discada and a Skottle. (That comparison video is coming soon.) When we receive the Discada, it's just so wonderful that we felt it should have a video review all its own.

I made one out of a old plow disk about 10 years ago. I used horse shoes for the handles and welded a ring on the bottom so that it set level on a fish fryer.
I've made chili and stew in it, but my favorites is making breakfast burritos and frying crawdads in it.
So very cool!
Your video reviews are very informative and helpful. Last week I ordered the 24" Pecos model and matching cover. I have two large parties to cook for this summer, and I didn't want anyone going home hungry. I'll likely order a smaller 18" Madrid for "normal life" cooking for 1-2 people and traveling. I really appreciate your thorough, straight forward, and honest reviews. Thank you!
That's awesome @Jeep Guy! No doubt, everyone will have nice full bellies after the parties. I'm really thinking of getting the smaller 18" disc as well, for the same reasons. Thank you so much for your kind words. They are deeply appreciated, and you're most welcome. Happy disc cooking!
Just ordered the 24” and trivet. Loved the fact that it is made in America and not China. Thanks for the great review and letting us know about this product!
That's awesome, Chris. Wow! You got the big one. We are so pleased with ours and hope you enjoy yours as well. Thanks for watching and the kind words.
Bought the 18” discada,lid and cover through your link. It all looks like a real quality product at a very fair price with the bonus of it being made right here in the USA! I can’t wait to use it! It will also be a great addition on my camping trips. Thanks again!
So cool! Perfect in every possible way.
DISK! A "discada" is a meal you make using the DISK.
Wonderful review! I really like this discada and I think using something you already have for a burner is absolutely brilliant! Even if you don’t have a burner purchasing one like you have makes for an economical alternative to the popular all in one kits. Thank You!
Thank you so much, Walter. It's a really nice discada. We have also purchased an 18" version from Southwest Disk. It is a nice, manageable size. I like the CampChef Pro 30 burner bunches. It's nice to have a multifunctional burner that can be used for multiple things.
the magic is the camp chef burner you get so many options a griddle a charbroiler abd a pizza oven you can wok in it and a wok can do anything a discada can do and more or us a disco
I am planning on purchasing this same setup. I think it’s unbeatable. I reviewed your other video of the tembo tusk. More expensive might I add. I purchased the tembo tusk because the company was local to me. I was disappointed from day 1. I really wanted to return it but I did want to support an upcoming company and give back to the community. The problem with the tembo tusk is that the burners are basically one hot spot in the center. A super hot spot. Not ideal for cooking. Burnt food is what it’s been producing. Almost all videos of tembo tusk shows burnt food. Also now with the adjustable feet it adds another problem. The manufacturer did not think about indicating or marking where the notch pins are inside the feet . They would have to be transparent for them to not cause a difficult frustrating time configuring the feet. In most cases it’s easier to pull the feet out and start that way. Because if you don’t then the leg spins around and your just guessing where the set pin is and you find yourself playing fiddle with three legs. SMH. I think the Veterans have crafted a way better design. Shout out to the Veterans. Great welding compared to the tembo tusk.
Thank you much for sharing your insights. We enjoy using the cooking disc over the Camp Chef Pro 30. I hope you enjoy many wonderful, non-burned meals with it.
Amazing how clean it got with such little effort.
It really is!
We just switched from a 2 burner Camp Chef to a pro30, wedullrime rv and wanted to simplify. Now I have been researching disks like that.
Nice.
Great demo. Thanks for sharing and the stir fry looks delicious.
Thank you, LoneWolf.
i just ordered the Southwest disk Roswell - The 22" UFO Discada and i am so excited for it to get here. i cant wait to get cooking on it. i have watched a ton of videos on all different brands of discadas and chose to go with southwet disk.
Awesome!
Thank you for the Excellent review, along with the cooking and cleanup demonstration. I use iron skillets and must add this to my collection. Stay Safe and All the Best
You're most welcome. Thanks for watching. The plow disc pan (Discada) is such a joy to use. Not sure how it took me this long to learn about them. Wishing you safe travels and wonderful adventures.
Thanks for the review I just ordered mine got the veteran discount can't wait!
Wonderful!
I like it! Looks very well made. 👍
Watching this and ordered it right away. 22 in discada and lid. Thanks.
Awesome! It's fantastic. I hope you enjoy using it as much as we do.
Thanks. I was researching Skottles and didn't like the prices I was seeing, then I found your video and learned about SouthWest, I have ordered the 22" and a burner. Can't wait to use it.
You're most welcome. I couldn't be happier with ours. Discadas are awesome! Enjoy.
Thank you so much! Ours will be delivered in two days so we're planning our 1st meal on it today. :-)
Wonderful! Ooohhh, the anticipation.
Its all good now ,you made me buy one love it
Yay, yay, and yay!
Fun fact:
The cookware is a DISCO; the food cooked in it is called discada (literally “cooked via a disk”) and can vary quite a bit, like the English “fry up”.
In case that’s unclear, here are some similar examples:
fryer, fried
wok, stir fried
smoker, smoked
grill, grilled (parilla, parillada)
griddle, griddled (plancha, planchada)
roaster, roasted (asador, asada)
Now you know…
disco, discada
Thanks, Saru. I totally get it. Really. The "interesting" thing is that Southwest Disk uses the word Discada often as a product name. 🤔 i.e."24" Pecos Discada" and "Roswell - the 22" UFO Discada"
Since we bought the cooking disk from them, I used that terminology. [Added: In the spirit of "getting it right" I will be referring to it as a cooking disc going forward. Southwest Disk does also refer to them as cooking discs, discos, etc., in their descriptions/history.]
@@wobblyotteroutdoors
Well then, they sure aren't helping. I hope they don't start selling turkey fryers as "fried turkeys".😆
🤣👏
Love this review and helpful tips. The only problem was noticing how much nicer your welds were than mine! I have a roswell (removable legs) with horseshoe handles so that might be harder to get a nice pool going
Thank you. The Roswell seems beautifully versatile with its removable legs. Interesting that the welds are that different. 🤔
Great review! Helped me make my final decision to buy one. Thank you.
Thank you, Ryan, and you're welcome. Happy to help.
Another great review…thanks!
My pleasure! Thank you so much.
The larger heavier pan not bad . But taking along the 20lb propane in the heat of thevday on a trip, not as roomy. Love this pan though.
Now that's a keeper the more you use it the better it gets. Make some Cornish hens you'll love it. When you need to clean it use half a potato or an onion. Pretty good price but you'll have it forever
The Cornish hens sound wonderful. Could take lots of practice (tasty practice) to get it right.
Great video question the discada fits fine on your Camp chef pro 30 without the use of a round wok ring and the 30K BTU. Burner plenty of heat to say sear a steak? Awesome video Awesome product looking forward ordering one. Have a carbon steel pans love them .thanks
Hello, Max, and thank you. Yes, it fits on the Camp Chef Pro 30 burner without needing a wok ring. It's so cool. Yes, the burner can definitely make the pan hot enough to sear a steak. The pan is thick, so it will take it some time to heat up. I hear ya on liking carbon steel pans. I've only had the pleasure of using them for a few years now, and they are wonderful.
Ordering mine tomorrow
Cool! 😎
Very good cooking option, but takes up a lot of space. Also, there are DIY versions shown on YT via a search.
True that.. No denying it... it's big. Interesting not on the DIY versions. Thanks.
Awesome!! Thanks again.
Thank you, Jody. You're welcome.
I have to have one of these!
Isn't it just the awesomest!?
Hello, thanks for taking the time to make the video. Super helpful!! I am curious if you have ever felt like the 22 was not enough. Have you felt like you should’ve ordered the 24 inch disc? I don’t think I’ll cook for more than six people at the most but I am a fan of having more than enough than not enough. But I also want it to be transportable for camping trips. Also, do you know if a small 1 pound green canister of propane will fit on your burner? Thank you for reading my questions.
You're welcome @TheAyotteMan. Glad it is helpful. The 22" cooking disc is plenty big. I haven't ever thought about needing a larger one. When using it over a burner the heated area for cooking is mostly the area in the center that the flames are directly under. With a larger cooking disc over the same burner, the only gain would be in area on the edge that cooked food could be moved out onto to keep warm. If used over a larger flame/fire, then the larger disc would definitely provide more actual cooking area. All that said, if you want the 24" disc go for it! The propane hose that came with the Camp Chef Pro 30 is made to be used with fittings like are on the 20lb bottles. Adapters are available that allow the use of of a 1-lb propane bottle with the larger size fittings. Here's a link to one on Amazon (our WOO affiliate link): amzn.to/3qCNuIB
@@wobblyotteroutdoors Thanks for the fast response and the link!!
You're welcome.
I was just realizing that it looks like you use the discada right on top of the flat grill top. Has that worked out well or do you find you need some sort of wok-style trivet on top of the grill to hold the disk steady?
You are correct. I'm using the discada directly on top of the burner of the Camp Chef Pro 30. No trivet is needed. It works great.
@@wobblyotteroutdoors That's great to hear, thanks! Just ordered the Camp Chef Pro 30:)
Awesome. It is a fantastic burner. The 30,000 BTU is plenty powerful without being over-the-top. The fold-out side table is such a pleasure to have. The Pro 30 is one of my all-time favorite items to use. I hope you enjoy it also.
Checked website and they're all back ordered.
This morning, there are 9 styles available (in stock) on their website, including the 22" Trinity. (We checked their website as we were uploading the video yesterday, and our hearts dropped when we saw so many of them out of stock. So glad to see many of them available again.)
I just ordered one yesterday (9/3/2020)
I got mine for free. 24 inch disciada. My uncles work in the farm.
That is so cool, Gregorio! You've got awesome connections.
What do I need to do to a brand new discada to prepare it for its very first use. Do I need to wash and oil it first? Do I use soap and water to wash it?
I read the instructions on their website but it is too much information on the care and I just need to know what to do for its first cookout. Thanks
Hello. Oooo, a new discada! So cool. Before the first use, wash it with lightly soapy water and dry it. Wipe a thin layer of oil all over the pan (canola oil is a good one), then wipe the oil off with a dry cloth . While it may not feel like it after wiping off the oil, there will still be a super thin layer of oil in place that will help keep it from rusting. Then when you heat the pan to cook, that super thin layer of oil will be polymerized by the heat - this is the seasoning process. That super thin (non-detectable) layer of oil is needed to season the pan. You can care for the discada just like a cast-iron pan. I hope this is helpful. Happy cooking!
Thank you sooo much for your quick reply. You are a darling!
You're welcome, Angela. Happy to help. Thanks for watching.
cool might have to get one
Oh, Terry, this thing is a blast to cook on. It is also incredibly heavy. 😁
@@wobblyotteroutdoors used a old plow disk back in the day growing up
That is so cool!
What spatula are you using? Where does one obtain one like it?
It is called a wok spatula and we got it on Amazon.
Here's a link to this spatula type: amzn.to/31a1EEV

Hi do you think a 24” will fit in that burner?
Hi, Jorge. Hmmm. I think the 24" disc will be able to rest on the burner just fine. It is going to stick out much farther on the sides than this 22" disc, and cover much more of the fold-out shelf.
I just purchased the disk in your TH-cam
Is it possible to show your recipe in this video so I can get an idea of what to make the first time
Thank you
Cool. Yes. Cut up 3 or 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs. Cut up a broccoli crown, a small squash, and 4 green onions. Precooked about 2 cups of rice. Heat the cooking disc over a medium low flame. Put about 4 tablespoons of oil in the cooking disc and let it heat up. Cook the chicken thighs until done and push them to the edge. Add the broccoli, squash and onion to the cooking disc, plus about 1/2 cup of water. Cook until the desired doneness. Push the chicken back to the center of the cooking disc. Add about 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Add the cooked rice. Turn off the heat and mix everything together.
Ive order the 24 inch discada and haven't received who can I call
Call the company that you ordered it from. If you ordered it from Southwest Disk, there is a phone number and email address on the Contact page of their website.
👍👍
Thank you!
Discada is the food you cook in el disco de arado
Great video, collecting that setup currently. Which spatula/shovel is that?
Thank you. I hope you will love the setup as much as we do!
This is the link to the wok spatula that is most like the one we have: amzn.to/2WBotQ4
This link will take you to a nice variety of wok spatulas, where you may find one you like better: amzn.to/3mFCJ4E
These are called "sadj grills" in the Middle East and Turkey.
Thank you so much for this! I looked it up to learn more and it is so cool how they also invert the pan with the curve up, and cook a flat bread on it.
Where i can buy this discada?i'm from malaysia
Hi Rohani. All I know to do is offer these thoughts... You could contact the folks at www.southwestdisk.com/ and see if they would ship one to you. Or, it might work to search for plow disk wok or similar words in your browser. Hopefully, there will be a similar product available that could be more readily shipped to you.
@@wobblyotteroutdoors Thank you😊
What size is that one?
22 inches
Wobbly Otter Outdoors thank you. I’ve been trying to order one but not it’s out of stock. Only the 18” or 24” are available. I guess I will wait
You're welcome. Their stock seems to fluctuate frequently. They have been responsive to our questions via email. If there is a certain disc you are interested in, give them a call or email them and they will let you know when it will be available.
Wobbly Otter Outdoors oh thanks I will
