So sometimes I will put some cheese on top of a tortilla and heat it up, and sometimes I'll put some sugar/brown sugar/butter on top of a tortilla and heat it up. With cheese, the tortilla doesn't stick to the plate at all, but with sugar/butter/brown sugar, for some reason, I have to scrape the tortilla off the plate.

Is there a chemical explanation for this?

Also sorry if wrong section, I wasn't sure which section this would go in.

Caramelization comes to mind.

Not sure of an explanation but you sure made me hungry!

What do we usually use to keep food from sticking. Does cheese have something that sugar doesn't?
