I own a Lodge cast iron Skillet pan and it was the best thing I ever bought for my kitchen 100%

Non-stick coatings (Teflon & similar) are toxic

Only use cast iron or stainless steel for safe non toxic cooking

Nah, stop spreading misinformation. Lesson #1 of toxicology is that "the dose makes the poison."

Use a Teflon-coated pan properly and it's completely fine. That means use plastic utensils, don't scratch the surface, and don't expose the pan to extremely high heat, especially without any food on it.

Don't fear monger. Teflon-coated pans have their place in every kitchen.

One thing I've been hearing about is microplastics in Teflon, and that even a small scratch in the surface can be an issue.

But, I'm not a paranoid health-nut, so I use them for stuff anyway.

One tiny scratch in Teflon can release thousands of toxic particles into your food which you then eat

Is it worth the risk? No
