Disclosed is a non-stick coating for an article, particularly for a baking pan or other household and utility item, comprises at least a base layer (G) burnt onto a surface (O) of the article and a covering layer (D) burnt above the base layer. The base layer and the covering layer each have a dry film thickness of 1 to 25 μm, wherein the base layer contains 10 to 100 wt.-%, related to the weight of the burnt base layer, of a thermoplastic resin having a temperature resistance exceeding 200° C., and wherein the covering layer contains a thermoplastic resin having a temperature resistance exceeding 200° C. and optionally a silicone resin. Both the base layer and also the covering layer are free of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl compounds. Due to the fact that the covering layer comprises a content of thermoplastic resin of at least 30 wt.-%, related to the weight of the burnt covering layer, and of at least 2.5 wt.-%, related to the weight of the burnt covering layer, of a silicone oil, novel fluorine-free non-stick coatings with good substrate adhesion and very good deep-drawing properties are obtained. In a process for applying the non-stick coating, the base layer to be formed is applied as a liquid varnish onto the surface of the article and subsequently dried at 250 to 440° C., subsequently the covering layer is applied as liquid varnish onto the predried base layer, and finally the layers are bonded to each other and to the surface of the article by means of heat treatment at 250 to 440° C.
