What makes nonstick pans not sticky?
#040
Who you calling sticky? This week, Melissa and Jam open up another two-part series about nonstick pans, aka teflon. What keeps food from sticking to them? How did scientists figure out how to create it? How can something that doesn't stick to anything be coated on the bottom of a pan? Are there any potential downsides to teflon? Let's get nonsticky.
We're proud to partner with MEL Science. Check out their home chemistry experiment sets here: bit.ly/melchem
