Teflon is bad for your guts. Teflon wears easily and such pans used regularly need to be replaced regularly so they are far more costly in the long run. PLUS... iron frying pans do not "stick" if used properly. Gramps cooked eggs every morning for over 50 years and not one ever "stuck" because he knew how to use an iron frying pan properly. That same pan cooked many more meals than just breakfast and never 'stuck' anything and never was washed. And no livers were damaged with chemical crap.

Now, I will still use the Teflon pans I have for certain foods BUT only on very low heat. When they finally wear out, they will not be replaced.
