‏‪33:10‬‏ Does he really manufacture non-stick cookware on the market? He is a skilled worker. In Egypt, they are manufactured in specialized factories. This is wonderful, and I hope this exists in the Egyptian markets. May Allah protect you

[@dawenfood]

Yes, the principle behind this master's creation of a non-stick cookware is as follows: 1. The cookware is heated to a high temperature using a blowtorch, causing the surface of the iron cookware to form a dense oxide film. This film not only provides the non-stick effect but also prevents the cookware from rusting. 2. After the high-temperature treatment, the surface of the iron cookware will have tiny pores. At this point, applying cooking oil allows the oil to penetrate these pores, forming a layer of oil film. This oil film not only enhances the non-stick property but also isolates air, preventing the cookware from rusting and thus prolonging its lifespan.

Friend, you're right. In such Chinese markets, you can see that everyone is so active and working hard to make a living, even if the things they sell are not very profitable. Everyone who has a positive mentality and works hard is worthy of respect!

Wow what an amazing part of the world. Like time stands still there. Good for them to stick to tradition and only upsell trash to the white world while sitting on bamboo furniture. While Amazing, it is so odd to not see or even hear birds. When I was a kid visiting markers, it was unheard of when swarmed by pigeons and sparrows did overran every ledge, branch and sunny spot. Being a child the sparrows hopping and chirping and picking crumbs between feet of millions of shippers does not deter them what so ever. What did you you do with you wildlife China ?

[@dawenfood]

Actually, there are many birds on the trees along the streets here. It's just that the ambient noise of the crowd in the market masks the bird chirping, so you can't hear it.🙂
