What's the difference between a teflon pan and a nonstick pan?
assistant
The main difference between a teflon pan and a nonstick pan is that a teflon pan has a coating of Teflon, which makes it more durable and easier to clean. A nonstick pan typically has a layer of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) on the surface, which provides a better release of food from the pan and reduces the amount of oil needed for cooking.
