Made breakfast this morning on a discada (or disco). It's a plow disk that has been welded up to cook on like a wok. This one came from my family farm.
Gotta start breakfast with bacon. 
Mmm, listen to that sizzle. video link Bacon is done, and now I have all this grease sitting there with nothing to do... 
Bread is pretty good at soaking up grease. 
Breakfast is almost ready... 
Needs some eggs. 
I was going for over easy, but broke the yokes. Screw it, scrambled it is.

Why not use a real pan,does that one actually have any real advantage? It's good thick steel, so it's like cooking on cast iron. Other than getting to do it outside on the back porch, no real advantage over a cast iron skillet on the oven....minus the nostalgia/fun of cooking on something I used to use to plow fields as a kid. |

Quoted:
What are you using to heat the discada? Currently using a turkey fryer burner/stand and a propane tank. Middle gets very hot, sides stay cool, which is why I can push the finished food up on the side like that and keep cooking without burning anything. This one is 16", dad is working on a 21" discada, a better stand and a 6" burner to replace the 3" turkey fryer burner. |

Being able to leave items at the edge to stay warm while the bottom is screaming hot. Lets oil drain away from foods on the edge. I would say there isn't really an advantage when cooking bacon and eggs though. |
It now seems...insufficient

heat gets spread very wide from this type of burner on that plow, not a problem. |

I like the fact you didn't cook the eggs sunny side up. I don't like runny yolk. Plus eleventy brogillian. I tried to, because I love a good runny yolk. I just failed miserably at it. Broke one, flipped one successfully, broke the third, decided fuck it and scrambled everything. |

Looks tasty, never seen a plow disk used.  Common in South Africa: Skottle Looks good, OP. |

I was going to say how you failed for the scrambled eggs, but because you were going for over easy, and had to make do when the yolk broke, I'll allow them.
Until I had eggs over easy, I always ate them scrambled. Now, IMO the only thing scrambled eggs are good for is as another ingredient in a breakfast burrito. |
