The Scotch-Brite Egg Release Test is run in conjunction with the Scotch-Brite Abrasion Test Machine. Every 10,000 strokes an egg is fried on the "wear track" created by the scouring pad to measure the extended food release properties of the non-stick system. Many non-stick coatings show very good release when the cookware is new, but over a few years of moderate use the release properties diminish very rapidly. |

| Akzo Nobel scientists document the number of cycles that a coating can endure before the egg sticks to the wear track to determine the true quality of a given non-stick system. |
