2. Non-stick surface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stick_surface

   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.

9. Surface chemistry of cooking - Wikipedia

   The other effect that the seasoning oil has is to make the surface of a cast-iron pan hydrophobic. This makes the pan non-stick during cooking, since the food will combine with the oil and not the pan. It also makes the pan easier to clean, but eventually the polymerized oil layer which seasons it comes off and it needs to be re-seasoned. [1]
