<human>: What is the difference between a teflon and nonstick frying pan?
<bot>: A teflon frying pan has a coating of Teflon, which is a synthetic polymer that is resistant to heat. This makes it easier to clean than a traditional frying pan, as it can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth or sponge. Non-stick pans are made from materials such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and graphite, which are both more expensive than teflon.
