Merge
editWould this article be better merged into teflon? ARendedWinter 11:12, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, and a redirect to teflon. --DFS454 (talk) 11:33, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think so. First because Teflon is just a brand-name for a chemical product. Secondly because, while Teflon is non-stick, so can be cast-iron cookware (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast-iron_cookware), which have been used for centuries. The fact that advertisement for Teflon cookware has promoted as a cheap non-stick does not make it the only product or technology to be so. We should mention such other non-tick alternatives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.4.92.183 (talk) 16:39, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
The article states that other non stick surfaces are used besides PTFE, but only gives one example. What are the others? FreeFlow99 (talk) 07:06, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

But...
editHow do they stick non-stick coating to the pan?

20000 C pan firing
editThis is dubious since steel melts below 2000C. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.109.46.123 (talk) 21:49, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- Have you checked what Stoyles + Pentland 2007 actually says? Check the text against the information given by the cited source. Uncle G (talk) 04:37, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Had to change temp
editSince 20000 C is hotter than the surface of the sun, I made the assumption that the author simply added an extra zero in their value and removed it. Not guaranteed to be correct, but certainly an improvement over preposterous. In addition, 2000 C is not an unreasonable temperature to consider fusion of materials into a ceramic coating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.223.44.3 (talk) 17:24, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
