Reply to comment by Saedius in Would a frying pan made of gold be non-stick? by AppleWithGravy
This is correct, when something sticks to a pan its because it chemically binds to it. For it to be non-stick you need to have the surface be made of extremely stable bonds. Like the C-F bonds in Teflon.

No, because of zero-point energy atoms even at absolute zero still have some kinetic energy and thus a temperature.
