It is a mechanical application. The saucepan or frying pan has very small grooves cut into it. The teflon is heated to above it's melting point and allowed to flow into the grooves. It is cooled down and held mechanically in place even if it doesn't want to 'stick'.
The other answerer is correct, it's been asked 1000 times.

Scientifically speaking, Teflon will not chemically bond to anything, but can be forced mechanically into small nooks and crannies. This slippery substance adheres to their surfaces once manufacturers sandblast them to roughen them, apply a primer, and embed the Teflon into the primer.

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethene) Teflon is not "non stick" but has a very low co-efficient of friction, i.e. it is very slippery.For true abhesive properties you need to look to silicone oils.
