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.
Food sticks easily to a bare metal cooking surface; it must either be oiled or seasoned before use. [8] The coating known as seasoning is formed by a process of repeatedly layering extremely thin coats of oil on the cookware and oxidizing each layer with medium-high heat for a time.
Sometimes a humidity indicator is included in the desiccant to show, by color changes, the degree of water-saturation of the desiccant. One commonly used indicator is cobalt chloride (CoCl 2), which is blue when anhydrous, but turns purple upon bonding with two water molecules (CoCl 2 ·2 H 2 O).
