  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. Dry distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_distillation

    Dry distillation is the heating of solid materials to produce gaseous products (which may condense into liquids or solids). The method may involve pyrolysis or thermolysis, or it may not (for instance, a simple mixture of ice and glass could be separated without breaking any chemical bonds, but organic matter contains a greater diversity of molecules, some of which are likely to break).

  5. Cooking oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_oil

    A bin for spent cooking oil in Austin, Texas, managed by a recycling company. Proper disposal of used cooking oil is an important waste-management concern. Oil can congeal in pipes, causing sanitary sewer overflow. [109] Because of this, cooking oil should never be dumped in the kitchen sink or in the toilet bowl.

  6. Sources and sinks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_and_sinks

    From left to right: a field with a source, a field with a sink, a field without either. In the physical sciences, engineering and mathematics, sources and sinks is an analogy used to describe properties of vector fields. It generalizes the idea of fluid sources and sinks (like the faucet and drain of a bathtub) across different scientific ...

  7. Edible oil refining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edible_oil_refining

    Edible oil refining is a set of processes or treatments necessary to turn vegetable raw oil into edible oil.. Raw vegetable oil, obtained from seeds by pressing, solvent extraction, contains free fatty acids and other components such as phospholipids, waxes, peroxides, aldehydes, and ketones, which contribute to undesirable flavor, odor, and appearance; [1] for these reasons, all the oil has ...

  8. Non-stick surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stick_surface

    Cast iron, carbon steel, [1] stainless steel [2] and cast aluminium cookware [citation needed] may be seasoned before cooking by applying a fat to the surface and heating it to polymerize it. This produces a dry, hard, smooth, hydrophobic coating, which is non-stick when food is cooked with a small amount of cooking oil or fat.

  9. Cookware and bakeware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookware_and_bakeware

    Like cast iron, carbon steel must be seasoned before use, usually by rubbing a fat or oil on the cooking surface and heating the cookware on the stovetop or in the oven. With proper use and care, seasoning oils polymerize on carbon steel to form a low-tack surface, well-suited to browning, Maillard reactions and easy release of fried foods.
