Knowing how oil sticks<\/h1>\n
H<\/strong>ave you ever cooked something and found out later that you can’t even wash away the grease even with dish detergent? That has to do with the fact all oil has a certain level of saturation vs unsaturation which is measured with Iodine level. The higher the Iodine level the higher the unsaturated fat content.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

W<\/strong>ithout getting too much into the science, in a nutshell, the higher the Iodine value (high in unsaturated fat), the more oxidation would take place which polymerizes to cause the fatty acid in the oil to harden and becoming plastic like stickiness to your pan.<\/div>\n
