Is using a teflon-coated pan dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cook on low temp: Teflon starts to break down when heated to greater than 260 degrees. When it breaks down, toxic chemicals are released. Cook on lower temperatures and be careful not to scratch your pans to increase the safety. Throw away your pans when they are scratched or flaking.
