Non sticic cooking utensils are coated with

Non-stick cooking utensils are coated with Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE), a polymer with excellent non-stick properties. Teflon has a very low coefficient of friction, is chemically inert, and can withstand high cooking temperatures. The coating prevents food from sticking to the utensil surface, making cooking and cleaning easier. PVC, polystyrene, and black paint are not used for non-stick coatings as they lack these properties and may not be food-safe at high temperatures.
