What makes teflon stick to the pan?

[fivegonefishing]

Kelly
Luckily Teflon will only adhered to a metalic or plastic surface while in a liquid state. The major draw back is while in liquid form, this product must be kept in constant motion so it does not solidify. While in the spraying apparatus, although a tedious job, there are a dedicated group of Teflon Liquid Inspectors all around monitoring equipment to ensure this product stays in constant motion so we may receive only the best non-stick products.[:D]

Answer: Different one (most) every trip. Have one SP we call our " Second" or " Vacation Home" .

[Kelly]

The recent posts on Whitestar505 s thread " What is the deal?" got me thinking about what I liked on the old boards. My most favorite thread was the Question and Answer one...(ShirleyT, did you start that? or was it ShirleyB? Surely, someone remembers [8D]) It was fun, light-hearted and gave us all a chance to get to know each other better. I propose that we play again! Answer the posted question (it most definitely does NOT have to be camping/popupping related!) and then add a question of your own....



First Q : Early riser or late to bed?
