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 our common name for the corrosion result of the oxidation of iron or steel. Most unalloyed iron or steel is readily oxidized by water and oxygen to make rust. If there is enough free water, the reaction can produce iron hydrates and hydroxides such as Fe2O3.nH2O, FeO(OH), and Fe(OH)3.
