Teflon Pans very often chip or scratch and eating the Teflon is admittedly not as bad as most people would assume but it also accelerates their breakdown under high heat.
Idk about you but my cookware reaches high heat pretty often so I'll stick to ceramics and castirons.
Yeah, direct health impact aside they're still disposable products that poison our water to manufacture, and poison the people who make them.
Like thats profoundly awful, one really doesn't need any more reason to avoid them, that's a very reasonable choice
You really just shouldn't be using nonstick for high heat cooking. Plain stainless or carbon steel is gonna be better.
I suppose thats fair if somewhat unrealistic.
