Teflon Day
Date When Celebrated : This holiday is always held on April 6
Today is Teflon Day, a special day to stick on
your calendar, even though little or nothing sticks to Teflon.
What an amazing discovery. Teflon coated on
kitchen pots, pans, cookie sheets and other cooking objects, saves you
countless time in scouring and scrubbing at the kitchen sink.
While it is best known as a nonstick
coating for cookware, it has many other uses.
Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) is widely used as
and industrial coating. It also is used in many other common products,
including fabric and rug protection, hair styling tools, nail polish, and
windshield wiper blades, to name a few.
Some of the best inventions were made by accident.
Dr. Roy Plunkett was working in the laboratory trying to create a
refrigerant. On April 6, 1938, he accidentally discovered Teflon. Teflon was
trademarked in 1945. In 1961, Kansas City, Missouri professor Marion A.
Trozzolo took Teflon from the lab to the kitchen. The first Teflon coated
frying pan was called “The Happy Pan”. Cookware has not been the same since.
Did You Know? Teflon is a good electrical insulator, resulting
in Teflon tape.
Celebrating Teflon Day
Can you think of any better way to enjoy this
special day, than to cook and bake on Teflon coated cookware? Neither can
we!
Happy Teflon Day!
History and Origin of Teflon Day
We know why this special day was created on April
6, as it commemorates the invention of Teflon.
Our research did not uncover who turned this into
a special holiday event. It appears to have been first celebrated in the
early 2010s.
We found some references to this a national day.
However, there is no known presidential proclamation or act of congress,
declaring this a true national day.
