nonstick pan

Slick cooking surface

A nonstick pan is a cooking pan coated with a surface that prevents food from adhering during cooking.

The coating—typically Teflon or ceramic—allows cooking with less oil and easier cleanup: Scrambled eggs slide right out of a nonstick pan.

The pans require gentle utensils to avoid scratching the coating.
