If nothing sticks to teflon-how does teflon stick to the pan?

Why does teflon stick to the pan but nothing sticks to teflon?

  • Answer:

    Polytetrafluoroethene, named teflon by Du-pont, is applied to surfaces as an emulsion, mixed with another liquid, and then baked, which causes a thin film to form. When applied to metals like aluminum, the metal is first treated with an acid. This allows the teflon to bond to the metal. It is not until the film is formed that it becomes non-stick.
