That's the first part, used correctly it's a non issue so just use your nonstick correctly.

In other words don't do what I did and put half a litre into a $6 pot on your new induction cooktop and set it to 2kW to see how long it takes to boil.

It boils quick.

It then boils more enthusiastically than you've ever seen before, and a cancerous stench fills the air as the coating breaks down and the pot deforms.

Like throw it away every 6 months.

Edit: or 1 or 2 years, it was hyperbole. Instead of like never throwing it out?

I've had mine for 2 years now. It's still non stick and I cook extremely regularly. Eg. 90% of my meals are cooked by me. I think some non stick pans are shit though because one of the ones I own started deteriorating after a year.

All the cancer

The nonstick pans I've using are several years old now without any signs of deteriorating nonstick surfaces. Use cookware out of wood or plastic to not scrape off the coating.

recent studies have stated that the pans offgas from manufacturing for weeks after you've bought them, no heating needed, so no, that's not correct. and it was known that they offgas at only 325ºF years ago. https://www.ewg.org/research/canaries-kitchen

so no, teflon pans are bad no matter how you use them, they're bad for the environment, they're bad for your health, they're bad for animals, they're bad for babies that haven't been born yet.
