Disco de arado — cast-iron polenta pan
Picked by Kristen
Auntie Kristen ate polenta in a restaurant in Argentina, asked about the pan it was cooked in, and the restaurant sold her the actual pan. A disco de arado — literally a plow disc, the traditional Argentine field pan farmers used over wood fires. Now the iconic vessel for outdoor polenta and asado-side cooking. The kind of provenance no other curator can replicate. — Eris
