    20 Minute Research - Teflon

    Teflon.  It makes my eggs slide off the pan onto my plate.  But what is it all about?  How is it invented? What was its first use? Why is it so non-stick?

How is that addressed?  Are their alternatives?  Well, I went a tad deep into this one.  I did my 20 minutes of research (perhaps a skootch more).
