First, you should never use metal utensils on Teflon. Second, Teflon isn't a metal. Third, Teflon is fairly inert and will not cause problems if you ingest it.

EDIT: Steel pans are crap! You can taste the steel in your food......... It's like cutting a brick of cheese with a *FRESHLY CLEAN* steel blade. You can taste the damn metal in the cheese!

That's a strange problem you have. Are you talking about stainless steel?

Stainless? Oh, you mean the shiny stuff? NO! I mean the real steal blades that actually keep an edge and rust!

I had no idea there were even non-stainless steel cookware available. I feel sorry for you if you actually bought any.

What are you talking about? Yes, there is what you call "REAL" steel that's not P*ssy stainless. Are you a turtle?

A real "Steel" knife is the best all around.

In short, yes, nonstick coating produces toxic vapors when heated. Adding oil may make it less dangerous by reducing hotspots, but teflon coated cookware will still kill birds at temperatures well below the smoke points of most fresh oils. While little evidence has been collected regarding the effect of the fumes on humans, you should never use any nonstick products in a building that has birds in it, or even near birds kept outdoors. Industry officials will say that it is safe for humans simply because it hasn't yet been proven to be dangerous, but it is unlikely to have been tested on humans in nearly the dosage people are often exposed to in real life under prolonged usage. At the least, all products with teflon on them should be required to have warning labels, but this is not yet a requirement, thus resulting in the needless deaths of thousands of pets per year.

"New Teflon-lined Amana oven was used to bake biscuits at 325°F; all the owner?s baby parrots died. Four stovetop burners, underlined with Teflon-coated drip pans, were preheated in preparation for Thanksgiving dinner; 14 birds died within 15 minutes. "
"DuPont claims that its coating remains intact indefinitely at 500°F. Experiences of consumers whose birds have died from fumes generated at lower temperatures show that this is not the case. In one case researchers at the University of Missouri documented the death of about 1,000 broiler chicks exposed to offgas products from coated heat lamps at 396°F."

coughBULLSH1Tcough.

My dad is a Polymer Engineer with DuPont. Trust me, they get class-action lawsuits for chemical sprays. But TEFLON? If it was toxic, DuPont would be out of business, because it's used on everything nowadays.

They ... have excellent heat control.

No, no they don't.

meh, yes they do. I don't wanna fiddle with a knob to get the pan right. set it and forget it.

Just made some jumbalya in an 8 quart cast iron pot. Able to achieve a perfect low simmer and walk away for a few hours without touching it.
