They are favored by many kitchen enthusiasts especially for their good anti-stick properties. So, what is it about silicone heart egg rings that makes them so anti-stick?
First, we need to understand the properties of silicone itself. Silica gel is a high molecular polymer processed from silicon raw materials. It has good high temperature resistance and soft elasticity. This special material makes the silicone egg ring not easily deformed at high temperatures and has excellent anti-stick properties.
Silica gel is hydrophilic, meaning it likes to absorb water molecules. When we use silicone heart egg rings, the moisture in the egg liquid will form a thin water film on the surface of the silicone, which is like forming a protective layer on the surface of the silicone, making the contact between the egg liquid and the silicone The area is reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of sticking.
In addition, the surface of the silicone itself is relatively smooth and does not have a rough structure like the metal surface. This makes the silicone egg ring have less friction when it comes into contact with food, making it difficult for food to stick to its surface. In contrast, metal egg rings have a rough surface, which can easily cause food to stick to the bottom.
In addition, silicone heart egg ring usually have a certain thickness and elasticity, which allows the egg rings to fit more closely to the bottom of the pot, effectively preventing food from overflowing and keeping the shape intact. During the cooking process, the silicone heart egg ring can be stably maintained on the bottom of the pot without shaking or shifting, thereby reducing the possibility of direct contact between food and the bottom of the pot, further reducing the occurrence of sticking to the bottom.
In addition, the design of silicone egg rings is also one of the key factors in their anti-stick properties. For example, the groove design in the middle of the heart-shaped egg ring allows the egg yolk to be confined in the center without overflowing to the bottom of the pot, further reducing the possibility of sticking to the bottom.
The excellent anti-stick properties of silicone heart egg rings are mainly due to the characteristics of silicone itself and its special design. Its high temperature resistance, hydrophilicity and surface smoothness enable the egg ring to effectively reduce the contact between food and its surface during the cooking process, thus reducing the possibility of sticking to the bottom.
