How to Cook With a Tractor Disc
- 1). Thoroughly clean the disc, using a wire brush, scouring pads and mild dish soap. Be sure to remove any dirt, oil, grease or rust on the disc.
- 2). Place the machine screw through the washer, then through the axle hole in the inside center of the disc. Attach the hex nut to the machine screw and tighten with a screwdriver and wrench. Tighten the screw so that the washer forms a tight seal against the inside bottom of the disc.
- 3). Adjust the locking pliers so that they clamp firmly onto the side of the disc. Place one edge of the disc all the way into the jaws of the pliers and lock it down.
- 4). Heat the disc over a gas range, grill or fire until it's very warm but not too hot. Apply a coating of vegetable shortening over both surfaces of the disc, then allow it to cool. Wipe any excess shortening from the disc after it has cooled.
- 5). Allow the pan to get hot over the range or grill before adding the cooking oil. Add the oil and let it heat up, then add the food you wish to cook. The oil helps prevent food from sticking in the pan.
