If teflon does not stick to anything, how does it stickto the pan?

Answer 1

It's sprayed on at the factory! It's then baked, and during the baking it bonds itself with the metal. After that things do not stick to it! This is a very simplistic answer, but is enough. That was a very good question though!!

Answer 2

The metal inside the pan is left slightly rough which gives the teflon something to stick to in addition to the chemical reaction that takes place. It is fragile, therefore the need for plastic utensils.

Good luck with your search for information.

Answer 3

I'm not sure of how it's adhered, but I would think it has to do with the teflon forming or chemically reacting as it's being put on, meaning it's a one-time chemical process to create it. And during that creation process you can probably make it stick.

Answer 4

I used to work in a factory that applied Teflon to their products. In order to make it adhere, there was a large fellow named Hans that stood at the coating booth with a megaphone and shouted at the Teflon: "YOU VILL STICK...UND YOU VILL LIKE IT!"

At first I thought it was absurd, but I grew to respect this unique way of addressing this age-old problem. I hope you appreciate my serious effort to resolve your serious question!

Answer 5

The biggest problem with teflon is, it _doesn't_ stick to the pan. That is why you need to be so careful with it. Your best bet is NOT to use it, unless you don't cook often.

Answer 6

no
