When it is heated to over 100 degrees simply turns into vapour (steam), the reason we put lids on water to boil it is so it doesn't loose its own heat.

Water being heated in a pan circulates because of?

convection - as the water near the heat source gets warmer, it becomes less dense and rises, creating a current that circulates the water in the pan.


Should I use soapy water in a cast iron pan?

Not a good idea. Cast iron is greased and "seasoned" by being heated, which seals pores in the iron pan. Using soapy water strips that away- it will rust, food will stick to it. Most can be wiped clean. If it does get the soapy water treatment, renew the seasoning by wiping it with oil, heating it in the oven and let it cool.


What substance is Steam coming from a pan of boiling water?

The substance is water vapor, not steam, which is the gaseous state of water when it is heated to its boiling point. Steam is produced when this water vapor comes into contact with cooler air and condenses back into liquid water droplets.


What is a chip-pan fire?

The Stages of a chip pan fire 1. Oil gets so hot that it catches fire all by itself 2. Water is poured into the burning chip pan 3. Water is denser than oil, so it sinks to the bottom of the chip pan (shown in red). As the water touches the bottom, it is heated above its boiling point and instantly vaporizes. 4. The water vapour expands rapidly, ejecting a fireball of burning oil out of the chip pan and into the air where its surface area increases greatly and combustion proceeds much faster


How does Teflon adhere to a pan surface to create a non-stick coating?

Teflon adheres to a pan surface through a process called bonding. The non-stick coating is applied to the pan and then heated to a high temperature, causing the Teflon molecules to bond with the surface of the pan. This creates a smooth and durable coating that prevents food from sticking to the pan.

When we heat a water in a pan by which mode does most of the heat travel in water?

Most of the heat travels through convection in water when it is being heated in a pan. As the water is heated, the warmer water rises to the top of the pan while the cooler water sinks to the bottom, creating a convection current that helps to distribute the heat throughout the water.


When you heat a pan of water water particles that are heated first spread out more than the cooler water particles around them?

Yes, when you heat a pan of water, the water particles that are heated first gain energy, move faster, and spread out, creating gaps between them compared to the cooler water particles around them. This results in the heated water rising to the top as it becomes less dense, creating a convection current in the pan.


Why does water not evaporate when it is kept in pre heated pan?

Water in a preheated pan may not evaporate immediately because the water needs to reach its boiling point before it evaporates. Once the pan reaches a high enough temperature to boil the water, the water will start to evaporate into steam.

How do you boil water on an open fire?

By putting the water in a pan/pot and then hold the pan/pot over the fire until hot :)


Why does my egg stick to the pan?

Your egg may stick to the pan because the pan is not properly heated or seasoned, causing the proteins in the egg to bond with the pan's surface. Using a well-heated and properly seasoned pan can help prevent sticking.


What is the dry ingredient in roux?

Roux consists of butter and flour heated in a fry pan. As the water in the butter is driven off by the the heat the mixture will thicken and start to turn brown. The longer you cook it the darker and thicker it will become.


Which process caused the rainwater in the pan to disappear as it sat outside in the hot air?

Evaporation

Why does food sausages in an inductive heated pan show magnetic pattern?

It is not the food that causes the magnetic pattern. Instead, it is the induction heated pan that creates the magnetic pattern.


Why does poori swell on frying?

The swelling of the "puri" depends upon the ratio of water and oil added to it. When heated on pan the water in the flour gets evaporised, and results in swelling of puri.
