… the pans are likely not “nontoxic” some independent testing and research suggests. Nor are they even “ceramic” – at least not in the way the public broadly thinks of ceramics. Now, regulators are investigating some of the pan sellers’ claims.

I had a blue diamond frying pan that claimed to be non-stick and much tougher than teflon. It claimed to have a “ceramic” coating, but I looked into it and it was just some kind of resin. Stuff stuck to it and it chipped and peeled just like teflon. It might have been a little tougher, but you sure as hell couldn’t use stainless steel utensils on it like it claimed on the packaging.
The only cookware I’ll use from now on is stainless steel or triply. Easy to clean, can use any utensils on it, and it’s non-stick enough if you grease it. Plus you can cook at any temperature! Which is the whole point of a frying pan!
How did teflon frying pans even come into existence in the first place? Frying is done at high temperature, and teflon peels at high temperature! It defeats the entire purpose! Every teflon pan I’ve ever used has peeled and left awful cancer-causing debris in my food. Every other person I’ve ever seen using a teflon pan has had the same problem. It’s like big cancer has a monopoly on teflon pans and has brainwashed the public into wanting to buy the damn things.
Just a random point: the actual coating (teflon) is completely non-toxic. The manufacturing process of teflon is the cause of a large amount of PFOAs in nature/food chain. The pan has no PFOAs most likely after the first cooking session, or likely before (unless the factory just completely brazenly does not even wash it once)
Teflon kills birds when heated. I wouldn’t call that non toxic. Lord only knows what the fumes are doing to humans.

I mean, I don’t really want birds in my house while I’m cooking or eating… So, two birds with one Teflon?

So, cooking dead bird meat on Teflon creates more dead bird meat?

What is this “check-mate, atheists” sort of logic? We are not birds. Also we aren’t dogs, so eating chocolate doesn’t kill us either.
This also only happens when you heat teflon past its breaking point, at which point, it’s no different than burning plastic.
The peeling teflon is inert and way too big to be absorbed your body. It just passes through without causing harm, cancer or otherwise.
Teflon has it’s uses for some dishes like fish and omelettes, but it’s true that they are essentially disposable trash.
