Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/不沾鍋 vs 不粘锅
non-stick pan · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 不沾鍋; on the Mainland it is 不粘锅 - both point at “non-stick pan”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 不沾鍋、不粘鍋 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
