      Afaik the coating is not a carcinogen only under certain circumstances like high heat can it produce something unsafe but even there it’s just potential, not yet proved to be carcinogenic but feel free to prove me wrong.

          Are we reading the same article? It doesn’t say it’s bound to the pan. Why bother to choose a source that you don’t read and disagrees with you?

              I’m out of my element here but my understanding is that the chemicals in the FDA article are not the non stick layer, it was used in creating it and is bound to it. While I wouldn’t suggest eating it (the coating) and can be harmful when heated to levels uncommon (but not impossible) in a kitchen environment there’s no proof that teflon dishes can increase the chance of cancer.
