AA5B,

It’s not that dangerous if you use a non-stick pan of good quality. And toss it in the bin as soon as …

Yeah, I was also in no panic but

  • it’s not that dangerous in the short term, but it stays long term and long term accumulation is still unknown
  • toxic waste during manufacture is dangerous - let’s just not do that
  • I was annoyed having to replace the non-stick every ten years or so. It may be cheap to buy but it’s expensive over time
  • no one follows through with tossing as 🔜 as there are signs of damage or flaking. Pretty much all of us have eaten more Teflon than we should and keep adding more and more

So now I have good stainless and cast iron for about the same price but it could potentially last the rest of my life: reducing toxic chemicals from manufacturing, reducing the amount of forever chemicals accumulating in my body, and saving me money. Even better, by paying attention to the quirks of effective use of these pans, I’ve become a better cook and find the cleanup usually no worse than non-stick
