No tinfoil hattery for me. I love how Teflon pans perform. 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.
