¨Polytetrafluoroethene (Also known as PTFE) is the slipperiest substance in the world.
¨They dip the pans into hydrochloric acid to roughen up the surface.
¨Then a secret substance is sprayed on to the pan.

∙ 15y agoTeflon is made up of a polymer called Polytetrafluroethylene.
The main carbon backbone chain is completely surrounded by the huge Flourine atoms. This leaves no bits of polymer chain to stick out "attach to food"

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