2. Diamond-like carbon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond-like_carbon

   As implied by the name, diamond-like carbon (DLC), the value of such coatings accrues from their ability to provide some of the properties of diamond to surfaces of almost any material. The primary desirable qualities are hardness, wear resistance, and slickness (DLC film friction coefficient against polished steel ranges from 0.05 to 0.20 [10]).

3. Non-stick surface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stick_surface

   Cast iron, carbon steel, [1] stainless steel [2] and cast aluminium cookware [citation needed] may be seasoned before cooking by applying a fat to the surface and heating it to polymerize it. This produces a dry, hard, smooth, hydrophobic coating, which is non-stick when food is cooked with a small amount of cooking oil or fat.

   While it is protective, the oxide layer is not very conductive, which makes cooking food less efficient than it could be. For most cooking applications, high thermal conductivity is desirable to create an evenly heated surface on which to cook. In this way, stainless steel is usually not considered high-grade cookware.

   An advantage of seasoning is that it helps prevent food sticking. Some cast-iron and carbon steel cookware is pre-seasoned by manufacturers to protect the pan from oxidation (rust), but will need to be further seasoned by the end-users for the cookware to become ready for best nonstick cooking results.
