> How can you make pancakes or crepes in it, for instance?

This is a strange question given that pancakes aren’t a particularly sticky food. This is kind of like asking how you don’t spill water on your face without drinking through a straw, there’s some potential for challenges but it’s pretty easy to deal with if you have a basic familiarity.

Well seasoned cast iron is pretty non stick. The added benefit of a Teflon pan is fairly marginal.
