I always wondered about that. Since nothing sticks to teflon, how do they get it to stick to the pan?
I was thinking that maybe the OP doesn't want to use petroleum for ecological reasons. Sorta like some people are vegetarians because raising animals is bad for the environment, not so much because it's cruel to the animals.
