2. Diamond-like carbon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-like_carbon

   As implied by the name, diamond-like carbon (DLC), the value of such coatings accrues from their ability to provide some of the properties of diamond to surfaces of almost any material. The primary desirable qualities are hardness, wear resistance, and slickness (DLC film friction coefficient against polished steel ranges from 0.05 to 0.20 [10]).

3. 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.

4. Surface chemistry of cooking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_chemistry_of_cooking

   Stainless steel is considered stainless because it has at least 11% chromium by mass. Chromium is a relatively inert metal and does not rust or react as easily as plain carbon steel. This is what makes it an exceptional material for cooking.

5. Seasoning (cookware) - Wikipedia

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

   Stainless steel and aluminium cookware do not require protection from corrosion, but seasoning reduces sticking, and can help with browning as the seasoning coating has high thermal emissivity. [5] [6] Other cookware surfaces are generally not seasoned. A seasoned surface is hydrophobic and highly attractive to oils and fats used for cooking.

6. Honing steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honing_steel

   A honing steel on a cutting board Common steel for use in households SEM images of the cross-section of a blade before (dull) and after (sharp) honing with a smooth rod [1]. A honing steel, sometimes referred to as a sharpening steel, whet steel, sharpening stick, sharpening rod, butcher's steel, and chef's steel, is a rod of steel, ceramic or diamond-coated steel used to restore keenness to ...

7. Superhard material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhard_material

   It is unclear whether the synthesis products are diamond-like solid solutions between carbon and boron nitride or just mechanical mixtures of highly dispersed diamond and c-BN. In 2001, a diamond-like-structured c-BC 2 N was synthesized at pressures >18 GPa and temperatures >2,200 K by a direct solid-state phase transition of graphite-like (BN ...

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 ...
