heavy-duty disc grill for outdoor cooking — sac tava, 5 sizes
The disc grill — known as sac in Turkish outdoor cooking culture — is the large, shallow concave metal pan used directly over an open flame for outdoor barbecues, village-style cooking, and large-format grilling. The disc shape concentrates heat toward the center while the slight concave angle keeps oils and juices from running off the edges. It is the outdoor cooking vessel for kavurma, grilled vegetables, large meat cuts, and any preparation where a flat grill rack is not the right tool.
Five sizes — from 11.8 in to 19.7 in — cover the range from a small outdoor setup to a large gathering where a full-sized disc is needed. Heavy-duty construction means this is a piece that holds up to open-flame use repeatedly without warping or deteriorating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Flat vs round skewers?
Flat skewers prevent meat from spinning when you turn them. For kofte and shish kebab, always use flat.
How many skewers do I need?
6 skewers covers one round for a family grill. Buy two sets for more than 4 people.
Bamboo skewers on charcoal?
Yes, but soak in water for 30 minutes before use. Metal skewers do not require soaking.
