Anyone worried about Teflon? This is a quote from http://tuberose.com/Teflon.html

"A Teflon pan reached 721°F in just five minutes under the same test, as measured by a commercially available infrared thermometer. DuPont studies show that the Teflon offgases toxic particulates at 446°F. At 680°F Teflon pans release at least six toxic gases, including two carcinogens, two global pollutants, and MFA, a chemical lethal to humans at low doses. At temperatures that DuPont scientists claim are reached on stovetop drip pans (1000°F), non-stick coatings break down to a chemical warfare agent known as PFIB, and a chemical analog of the WWII nerve gas phosgene."

This is serious shit that could have devastating repercussions on billions. Imagine people being exposed to the toxins of Teflon with almost every meal for as much as 30 years. Regulators weren't doing their jobs, and people are still in denial. Heck, I am not taking any chances and have just ordered a non-coated stainless steel set.
