Why you should use a release agent
Why use a Zeelandia Release Agent instead of oil?
Release agents are exposed to oxygen and very high oven temperatures, up to 250oC. Ordinary oils and fats can not stand these temperatures. Due to the contact with oxygen a process is set in motion that begins with oxidation and leads ultimately, via polymerisation, to carbonisation.
Oxidation : oil or fat absorbs oxygen from the air
Polymerisation : the oxidation process progresses and the oil becomes too viscous and sticky
Carbonisation : during the baking process the layer will carbonise and leave a black layer
Once such a layer has been build up the transfer of heat deteriorates and the baking process becomes increasingly uneconomical. The Zeelandia release agents are designed to reduce the process of oxidation to a minimum.
The effect of this process of oxidation to carbonisation is visible on these trays:
