So how does it stick to the pan?

quite possible that the original Rack and Pinion Bushing was made of some
type of Teflon material.

Roy Plunkett at the DuPont research laboratories (Jackson Laboratory in New
Jersey). Plunkett was working with gases related to FreonR refrigerants when
upon checking a frozen, compressed sample of tetrafluoroethylene, he and his
associates discovered that the sample had polymerized spontaneously into a
white, waxy solid to form polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE.

molecular weight of Teflon can exceed 30,000,000, making it one of the
largest molecules known. The surface is so slippery, virtually nothing
sticks to it or is absorbed by it. No wonder Teflon was choosen to be used
on non-stick cooking pans.
