Reading all this discussion and especially debate about how to take care of a cast iron pan. Idk, those teflon ones are just so convenient. Don't have to do shit and can just chuck it in a dishwasher. Worse product in a lot of ways but a lot more convenient.

Teflon was banned in the United kingdom in 2005 because it is a carcinogen and toxic.

In 2005, the UK prohibited the use of Teflon in cookware goods that included perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and PFOA was outlawed internationally in 2019. Exposure to PFOA increases the risk of cancer and other diseases as well as probable infertility. Teflon and other non-stick cookware items produced in the UK after 2005 are free of PFOA.
