Yeah but if I use stainless steel pans, I can use stainless steel wool to clean them, so the sticking doesn’t really matter aa much when it does happen, plus cooking techniques can reduce or eliminate sticking even on stainless steel. So I’ll adjust to say I’m not losing anything I value.

And I don’t have a huge issue with it being used on things that doesn’t touch our skin or food/water often. And my goal is to minimize exposure in this plastic world. I understand that at least some restaurants (if not most that use pans) probably use nonstick pans and that I’m getting exposed to BPA every time I touch a receipt. So I don’t use those pans at home and don’t let receipts linger in my hands and use gloves when going through a bunch of them.
