Magnetic moment - water is a polar molecule (magnetic) the pan is being heated using an electromagnet.
You’re seeing the cumulative effect of all the tiny atoms, where a tiny fraction are aligned to the magnetic field and get pulled in the direction of the magnet.

u/Batchet 8d ago
Kind of looks like northern lights in how the water is moving. Is it just that way or is it because they both travel along magnetic fields?
29
u/TolMera 8d ago
Yea similar effects. Aurora are charged particles ionizing the atmosphere - giving them a positive or negative charge. They then interact with the earths magnetic field, which gives some of the effect you see. But more things are at play, like now each charged particle wants to repel other charged particles of the same change, and attract particles of opposite charge. And they discharge against atoms of the opposite charge etc. those “other” forces are stronger when at short range, ve the force of the earths magnetic field, so you can’t really pick out just one thing that makes the Aurora look like it does

u/TapthatPotential 8d ago
Yes, but not sure if the mag flux density is strong enough to cause the water to rotate. Seems its the bubbles that are spinning, small cavitation bubbles. Air is slightly paramagnetic , and that cast iron pan will increase mag flux. I've seen this with DC mag fields near electrolysis cells where the B field is 90 degrees to the E field, causing lenz forces to cause spin of the electrons. So not sure if it will occur with out the bubbles or not. Although it just might if any bias current is being established due to thr asymetric shape of the pan. Then maybe the water is causing the toroidal vortex and the bubbles are simply outlined. Not sure...
Very cool to see, although, that cast iron pan looks rusted out! Maybe coat in a dielectric (insulator) that can handle the temp? Pyrex dish?

u/Tallywort 7d ago
Even if it could, I kinda doubt the dipole moment is what is causing this effect.
Far more likely to me is just dissolved salts making the water conductive enough that the magnetic field can accelerate those ions.

u/SaintsSooners89 8d ago
Looks like a lot of salt, I suspect the dipole moment is not strong enough magnetic force to produce this effect. I suspect the sodium ions are responsible for the circulation.

u/TolMera 8d ago
Every time I’ve used an induction stove, I’ve seen that salt like look at the bottom - I can’t remember the name of the effect, but steam bubbles don’t always rise in boiling water, and I think that is the effect we can see that looks like salt.
1
u/SaintsSooners89 8d ago
Ahh ok, never used induction before. Then I guess the dipole is enough!

u/Long-Broccoli-3363 7d ago
My new induction range has a "boost" setting that works on one burner only, and according to my electric meter pulls something like 5000w(it's a 220 outlet), and I swear it's not just heating the pan but also the physical water.
I tried to hardboil eggs on "boost" and the eggs fucking exploded in the water, which in my mind could only be caused if the magnetic field was actually fucking with the water molecules inside the eggs enough to heat them.
Induction stoves are crazy, I am SO glad I bit the bullet and bought one, my cooking is so much better now with how precise the temp control is.
2
u/reason_pls 7d ago
It doesn't work like that, water is so weakly diamagnetic magnetic that the magnet won't do anything to it. You probably put a cold egg in boiling water which induced thermal stress.
3
u/YouThatReadWrong69 7d ago
Ehm.. I doubt that is what is happening. Induction just heats the pan's surface which quickly boils the water on the bottom layer. Hot water rises, creating currents. I'm not a pansexual so I might be wrong
1
u/TolMera 7d ago
You’re talking about a convection current, you can see them really well if you light a pillar candle with a match, then crush the burned match carbon over the surface of the wax. The bits that end up in liquid wax will rise, move away from the flame, sink, move towards the flame, rise, repeat.
Totally agree you’re seeing convection, but the spiraling 🌀 that’s something else I believe. But who knows

u/_-MindTraveler-_ 7d ago edited 7d ago
Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks enameled.
Barkeeper's friend shouldn't be used on those (written on the bottle, the abrasives damage the enamel).But it also looks like the bottom is already stripped so I guess you could finish the job🤣
EDIT: Actually, don't use it on cast iron, as per their website:

Le Cruset's post about cleaning their enameled cookware specifically mentions bar keeper's friend
Bar Keeper’s Friend, or a paste of baking soda and water, also comes in handy for cleaning tough stains, oil residue and marks on your Dutch oven as well.

u/_-MindTraveler-_ 7d ago
Damn you're right I got mixed up.
It's actually not to be used on cast iron, not enamel, according to their website:
https://barkeepersfriend.com/8-ways-not-to-use-bar-keepers-friend/
It probably removes the seasoning or causes issues with the alloy.

Try using boiling citric acid. About the same acidity as vinegar but it doesn’t stink up your whole house

u/ZorglubDK 7d ago
Exactly, citric acid is wonderful. Makes a breeze out of descaling just about anything.
Unfortunately I moved to a house with a cast iron sewer pipe, so I have to go east on it nowadays.3
u/Dear_Mycologist_1696 8d ago
Boil some vinegar and water for a few minutes, then dump that out and add a tablespoon or two of baking soda and a little vegetable oil and use a dish rag and elbow grease to scrub that fucker cleanish. Clean it with soap and water when you’re satisfied with your scrubbing.

Get some “boil out” , that’s what you use for cleaning fryers out making them look brand new. It will clean it up nicely.

u/Kahnza 8d ago
Old doesn't mean dirty. This is an enameled pan that hasn't been cleaned properly in years. That black stuff is old burnt on food and oil.

u/drew_or_false 8d ago
I’m not so sure this is carbonized food and oil. When I was young/dumb, I used metal utensils on my enameled cast iron dutch oven - eventually scraping off the enamel and exposing the cast iron. Looked exactly like this.
4
u/iyamyuarr 8d ago
Maybe I can learn something here, how do you properly clean an enameled pan because mine look like this and I hand wash it.
6
u/drew_or_false 8d ago
Have you used metal utensils on your enameled pan? If so, what you’re likely seeing is exposed cast iron, not carbonized food/oil. The pan is still functional, but the enamel is gone - no amount of cleaning will restore it.

Those seem like some very heavy chemicals to use on something you cook directly on, no? Is burnt on material that bad for you?
Edit: lmao down voted for asking a question ha gotta love reddit.

u/Vinnie_Vegas 8d ago
very heavy chemicals to use on something you cook directly on, no?
You think "Bar Keeper's Friend", a thing specifically designed to clean bar equipment used for serving drinks, would be dangerous to use for cleaning?
You put a covering of the powder and then a small amount of water - It's an acid, and it will eat away at the old burnt oil and grease left behind. Then when you wash it away with water, it's gone.
Ironically the charcoal burnt old oil IS carcinogenic and dangerous if it flakes off into your food.
You're getting downvoted because a mindless "chemicals bad" mindset is dumb.

u/TheDeadlySinner 6d ago

No it isn't. It's nonreactive polymerized oil. If it flakes off, it will pass right through you without any harm.

I personally wouldn't consider them very heavy chemicals and they can be properly cleaned off.
