What’s the difference between an Argentine and a Mexican disco for cooking?
Both are based on repurposed plow discs, but Gaucho Life’s Argentine disco de arado is deeper and includes a tripod, offering more stability and heat control for larger preparations.
Where can I buy a disco for cooking?
Gaucho Life offers authentic Argentine discadas handcrafted from carbon steel, available for purchase online with delivery across the U.S.
How do I season a carbon steel discada?
Apply oil to the cooking surface, then heat until it smokes. Repeat the process 2–3 times to build a protective layer. Our discos arrive raw and ready to be seasoned by the cook.
How do I clean a plow disk cooker after use?
Let the disk cool, then scrape off food residue. Wipe clean with paper towels-avoid soap. We recommend oiling it lightly after each use to prevent rust.
What are some great recipes for cooking on a disco outside?
The disco de arado is perfect for discada-style meat mixes, stir-fried vegetables, shrimp with garlic, or rustic beef stews. Argentine classics like pollo al disco (chicken stew with vegetables), bondiola a la cerveza (pork shoulder braised in beer), and osobuco al disco (bone-in beef shank slow-cooked over fire).
Can I use the plow disk cooker with gas or only wood?
Our disco para discada is built for firewood or charcoal, preserving the smoky, rustic flavor. While some users adapt it for gas, it performs best over an open flame.
What is a disco BBQ?
A disco BBQ refers to grilling or cooking on a disco de arado over live fire. It’s a social, high-flavor experience rooted in rural Argentine and Mexican outdoor cooking.
How is the disco different from a carbon steel griddle?
The disco de arado has a deep, curved surface ideal for liquids and mixed dishes, while the carbon steel griddle offers a flat surface for tacos or searing. Both are argentinian griddles, but serve different fire-cooking purposes.

WOW! I absolutely LOVE my Disco Arado from Gaucho Life! What an incredible cooking experience!
Being originally from Rosario, Argentina, cooking over an open wood fire brings back so many wonderful memories of our Argentine traditions. 🇦🇷❤️
The Disco Arado is fantastic! Excellent craftsmanship, sturdy construction, great heat distribution, and plenty of room to prepare delicious meals for family and friends.
We recently put it to work cooking a delicious Argentine-style meal over an open fire, and the experience was absolutely amazing! There's something special about gathering around the fire, enjoying the outdoors, and cooking the traditional gaucho way.
Gaucho Life has brought a beautiful piece of Argentina right into our backyard here in Kansas City!
If you love outdoor cooking, authentic flavors, and bringing people together around great food, I HIGHLY recommend the Disco Arado from Gaucho Life!
