Jose Garces is the chef and owner of restaurants in Philadelphia, Chicago, Palm Springs, and Atlantic City and the author of two cookbooks, Latin Evolution and his latest, The Latin Road Home, which we recently reviewed on TLK.n addition, Chef Garces is the owner of 40-acre Luna Farm in Bucks County, Pa., where he and his team grow much of the produce for his Philadelphia restaurants. Here, Garces talks about what he craves, what he won't eat, and what ingredient he can't live without.
Rust is the red-brown oxide of iron formed by the action of moisture and oxygen on the metal. It consists mainly of hydrated iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3.H2O) and iron(III) hydroxide (Fe(OH)3). If oxygen is in short supply the formation Fe3O4 is favoured; this can be regarded as a mixture of Fe2O3 (magnetite) and FeO.ron is an element. Steel is an alloy; it is a mixture of iron (typically more than 98%) with variable amounts of carbon, manganese and other elements, depending on the properties required. The hulls of ships are generally made of mild steel.
Rust is the process of metal oxidation. It is a chemical burning undergone by iron. Rust can happen when metals are in contact with water, air, oxygen, or acids. The main catalyst of metal rust is water, because its molecule can penetrate pits in any exposed iron. When metals are exposed to the corrosion-causing agents for quite long time, some of the parts will turn into orange-colored powder, known as rust. This substance has long been blamed for some health disturbances.
