  2. Seasoning (cookware) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasoning_(cookware)

    Heating the cookware (such as in a hot oven or on a stovetop) facilitates the oxidation of the iron; the fats and/or oils protect the metal from contact with the air during the reaction, which would otherwise cause rust to form. Some cast iron users advocate heating the cookware slightly before applying the fat or oil to ensure it is completely ...

  3. Surface chemistry of cooking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_chemistry_of_cooking

    Pan frying is an oil based cooking technique which is typically used to sear larger cuts of meat or to fully cook thinner cuts. This technique uses a thin layer of heated oil to coat the pan. The oil layer is the method of heat transfer between the burner and the food. Water vapor is a critical component of how pan frying works.

  4. Galvanic corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

    The paste consists of a lower nobility metal than aluminium or copper. Choose metals that have similar electropotentials. The more closely matched the individual potentials, the smaller the potential difference and hence the smaller the galvanic current. Using the same metal for all construction is the easiest way of matching potentials.

  5. What Causes a Pan to Warp—and How Do I Fix It? - AOL

    The pan is still extremely hot, and splashing it with cold water puts it under stress, causing the temperature change to distribute unevenly and warp the metal. Give your pots and pans a few ...

  6. Chip pan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_pan

    Repeated heating of oil is believed to greatly increase the free radicals in the oil, leading to a higher risk of heart disease. [3] Injuries, particularly to children, caused by the hot oil from a chip pan falling on them are a common cause of hospital admission in the UK. [4] [5]

  7. Tin pest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin_pest

    The cause of the empty tins could have been related to tin pest. [8] The tin cans were recovered and no tin pest was found when analyzed by the Tin Research Institute. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Some observers blame poor quality soldering, as tin cans over 80 years old have been discovered in Antarctic buildings with the soldering in good condition.

  8. Pitting corrosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitting_corrosion

    The process of pit nucleation is initiated by the depassivation of the protective oxide layer isolating the metal substrate from the aggressive solution. The depassivation of the protective oxide layer is the less properly understood step in pitting corrosion and its very local and random appearance probably its most enigmatic characteristic.

  9. Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture.Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe 2 O 3 ·nH 2 O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH) 3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.
