Some thought needs to go into their care, though
Comment on YSK You don't need Teflon pans for nonstick

Teflon pans are just light, cheap and carefree. That’s why everyone buys them

Idk don’t use metal utensils is the major one. What pan doesn’t need some consideration?

If you’ve ever lived in a house with others, someone is going to use a metal utensil. Its unavoidable. Better to just not have cancer causing stuff in your kitchen

I’ve never lived with such mouthbreathers. It’s definitely avoidable.

I love how Teflon pans perform. However, some people, like me, can’t possibly keep non-stick pans safe. I live on a sailboat, and the effort to keep non-stick pans (even ceramic) safe from damage is disproportionate to the advantages. Also, I am away from resupply for long periods of time. If my pan gets damaged, I can’t just hop down to the store to replace it.
There are other cases, such as people who own birds. Overheating Teflon pans can result in PTFE toxicity in birds.
