WHAT IS NON-STICK UTENSILS?

● Non-stick utensils are tools that allow us to cook with

less oil
● The surface is engineered to reduce the ability of
materials to stick to it
● Non-stick utensils are typically made of aluminium
and coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE),
which is Teflon.

3 Production of tetrafluoroethene (TFE)

PTFE
4 Polymerization of tetra
flu oroethene (TFE)
A) PRODUCTION OF TRICHLOROMETHANE (chloroform)
- Phase: vapour - Catalyst: zinc oxide with silica
- Temperature: 620K

methane trichloromethane

B) PRODUCTION OF CHLORODIFLUOROMETHANE
- Catalyst: antimony(III) and antimony(V) chlorofluoride

trichloromethane
C) PRODUCTION OF TETRAFLUOROETHENE
Requirement:
- Pyrolysis: heated in the absence of air
- Pressure: low level - Temperature: 940K

chlorodifluoromethane tetrafluoroethylene

- Cooled to 770 K

tetrafluoroethylene tetrafluoroethene
D) POLYMERIZATION OF TETRAFLUOROETHENE
- Radical polymerization, carried out by passing TFE
into water containing a radical initiator
- Ammonium persulfate, (NH4)2S2O8
- Temperature 310K
- Pressure of 10-20 atm

Silicone is a It heats evenly and it When it’s seasoned It is durable and

synthetic rubber that is nonstick when properly, cast iron is scratch
is mainly used in seasoned. It is also naturally nonstick. It resistant. It’s
bakeware and scratch-resistant and also last a long time also dishwasher
kitchen utensils. It can be heated to very and can withstand safe.
does not stand up high temperature. temperatures well
well to direct heat.
 CONCLUSION
Finally, it can be concluded that non stick
utensils are not safe to use in our daily
uses for our health. Our health are more
than everything in this world compared to
food whereas it has other option to not use
non stick utensils.
