Not all non-stick pans use Teflon; other non-stick coatings have become available. For example, a mixture of titanium and ceramic can be sandblasted onto the pan surface, and then fired at 2,000 °C (3,630 °F) to produce a non-stick ceramic coating. [19] Ceramic nonstick pans use a finish of silica (silicon dioxide) to prevent sticking.
Marc Grégoire (January 15, 1906 - January 10, 1996 [1]) was an inventor of PTFE (Teflon) coated non-stick pans. [2] He was an ONERA engineer at the time of the invention. [3] In one version of the story, he devised a method to apply Teflon to an aluminum mould, to assist the removal of glass fibre fishing rods from the mould. [3]

The word "crempog" has its origins in the Welsh language, but is similar to the Breton word krampouezh, which is also a type of pancake. [1] [2] Comparisons are often drawn between the two Celtic languages which share ancestry in the Brittonic language, though the krampouezh is more dainty than the crempog and is today closer to a crêpe than a pancake.
A stainless steel frying pan. A frying pan, frypan, or skillet is a flat-bottomed pan used for frying, searing, and browning foods. It is typically 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) in diameter with relatively low sides that flare outwards, a long handle, and no lid. Larger pans may have a small grab handle opposite the main handle.
Pancakes cooking on a griddle. This is a list of notable pancakes. A pancake is a flat cake, often thin and round, prepared from a starch-based batter and cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan. In Britain, pancakes are often unleavened, and resemble a crêpe. In North America, a raising agent is used (typically baking powder).
A chip pan is a deep-sided cooking pan used for deep-frying. Chip pans are named for their traditional use in frying chips (called "French fries" in the United States). Today, they are made from either aluminium or stainless steel , although in the past were commonly made from cast iron .
