How do they get the Teflon to stick to the non stick pan in the first place ?

Question

Yes Colin you are right !

Answer 1

As everyone else has said - pan is not non-stick when they spray the teflon on on and on.

I know it was probably kind of a joke question... but there has still been some interesting info people have gone off and found for you ... so maybe it has served a purpose, and has educated some people somewhere.

Answer 2

The pan itself is not non-stick until the Teflon is applied. Teflon coatings are applied in layers, just like paint. The first layer is the primer and it is the special chemistry in the primer that makes it adhere to the metal surface of the pan. The primer will adhere either to a substrate that is prepared by grit blasting or roughening the surface, or it can be applied over a smooth substrate.

Answer 3

it's not a non stick pan until they spray the teflon on it

Answer 4

The teflon sticks when it's wet then glues itself to the pan...when it dries it's still glued but not going to make stuff stick
get it?
Haha I just answered that and I'm only twelve!!!

Answer 5

they use a interlocking layers. one on the pan base and over the top of that layer they place the non stick and they lock together abit like when you put laminate flooring down. (or like locking your fingers together) using ridges and grooves.

Answer 6

teflon is what makes the non-sticky pan non-sticky. i think.

Answer 7

Answer 8

They fry an egg on it, and then don't wash the pan. (only joking!)

Answer 9
