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]

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.
Choosing other types of cookware without PFAS — which can also include stainless-steel or ceramic nonstick pans, which don't use the chemicals to coat the pan since they're naturally nonstick ...
