==The disc== The disc is usually a disc harrow made of either iron or steel. It is round, wide, angled toward a deeper center, but not as deep as a Chinese wok. This provides a larger surface area for heat to be concentrated in the center, allowing for things like tortillas and toast to be prepared along the edges. Modern additions like a tripod or handles are now commonplace, but such handles are for transporting since unlike a wok it is not often used to toss the food.
