    Is it really that bad? Sure it might be linked to cancer but so are lots of other things.

    I personally just use normal cookware plus some vision stuff. All you need to do is salute some onions ahead of adding other things. The juice from the onions acts as a natural non stick.

      This article is horrible. Anyway…

      Teflon has a melting point of 327°C, that can happen on a stove.

      IMO It’s fine, just don’t burn your pan. Not sure about scratching it, but don’t do that either.

        So, just don’t do the two things that happen to every non-stick pan ever. Gotcha.

          Yeah has no one seen the horror show that is the used pan section of a thrift store? More flaking than a millennial get-together.

        I’m not sure you need to melt it for the PFAS to leech out. There was a study recently about smart watch bands and they found that the PFAS exposure from wearing them was way above safe limits and they weren’t being heated to 327C.

        Admittedly frypan coatings and watch bands are not the same materials, but still…
