You win a year's supply of Teflon coated underwear (which is basically just one piece, since you pretty much never have to wash it...)! Well done ;-) OMG only 40 minutes before the first brainiac turned up with a real scientific answer!

The two methods are common when dealing with polymers. Another possibility is that the non-stickiness is created because of the irregular surface of the material, thus having a smooth backside glued to the pan. At least, those are my calculated guesses based on the one semester of 'Production and Technology' I got last year at university. Anyway, I have this great ability to ruin a joke by reasoning my way out of it. I'm very sorry. :) My guess would be that they apply the teflon to the pan in a liquid state via two separate chemical substances or that it is formed under high pressure.
