About Me
Since 2009!
Blue Moon Disk Co. has been making authentic cooking disks in Little Rock, Arkansas since 2009. I first experienced disk cooking while on a mission trip to Chihuahua, Mexico. On the last day the local hosts cooked a traditional meal on their Discada's for the entire team. After returning home, I found that these cooking disks were almost impossible to find in the United States, so I decided to make my own. .
What is it?
Blue Moon Disks are large cooking pans made from Plow Disc farm blades and are a traditional cooking pan popular in the hispanic communities in the South West United States, Mexico, Central and South America and other parts of the world - wherever farm land is plowed, people have been converting old plow disc blades to outdoor cooking pans large enough to feed their family and friends. Our plow disk cooking pans are inspired by the Discadas used in Mexico. A Discada is typically a very large cooking pan with low concavity, which makes it different from an oriental wok. They go by many names depending on the geography and the dish being cooked but the most common names are "Discada", "Plow Disk Cooker", "Disco", "BBQ Disc", "Mexican Wok", or simply "Cowboy Wok". Like the Discadas of Mexico, Blue Moon Disks are crafted the authentic way - from agricultural farming plow disk blades! The disks we use are new agricultural farming plow disc blades to keep the weight, size, and condition consistent. Disk cooking is the ideal way to cook outdoors for large groups of friends. Each disk is still unique, beautiful, and ideal for any weekend party, campout, tailgate, or event where you can showcase an entertaining, authentic cooking experience!
How to use
Blue Moon Disks are best suited for use over an outdoor propane burner (like a Turkey Fryer or Fish Fryer), but are also made for cooking over coals or open fire. Disks quickly become hot in the center, but are cooler on the sides. The cooking experience is hands on and involves moving food from the hot center to the cooler edges. Blue Moon Disks are the ideal tool to cook for lots of people where cooking is part of the entertainment. They are ideal for weekend party's, tailgating events, cubscout campouts, hunting camp meals, or any type of outdoor party where you want to show off a unique cooking experience.
Care
Each disk is hand welded and hand polished and comes with a burlap bag to help protect from rust. Repeated cooking on a disk will further season it to a nice, blackened surface. Before each use, it is recommended that you lightly brush or wash off any dust or burlap fibers and apply a thin coat of vegetable oil over the entire cooking surface. The disk are made of STEEL. After cooking, the disks can be cleaned just like any other iron cookware: hand-wash the disk with warm water and scrape off any excess food or grease with a wooden food scraper. Apply a thin coat of vegetable oil over the entire cooking surface to prevent rust.
