Many studies on the polymer coating of non-stick pan show that it may release trace perfluorocompounds at high temperature, but it is unlikely to release them during cooking. For example, boiling with salt water and water for 2 hours, or heating with soybean oil to 280 degrees, no typical perfluorocompounds were found to decompose and dissolve.
Generally speaking, with the increase of application times, less and less perfluorocompounds will be released from the non-stick coating. As long as high-temperature dry burning is avoided, the safety of non-stick coated appliances is guaranteed.
The health risks of perfluorinated compounds are not significant for the time being. The intake of perfluorinated compounds in North America is much higher than that in China, so we can feel a little relieved.

The use of non-stick pan:
The newly bought non-stick pan or coated utensils do not need special treatment, so they can be washed with clean water to avoid high temperature dry burning during use.
The coating of non-stick pan is not suitable for scraping with sharp tools, so do not use a metal spatula for non-stick pan, and use a sponge or a soft rag for cleaning.
The stability of the non-stick coating can be maintained for at least two years. Even if there is more wear and tear, there will be no special health risk. You can choose to continue to use or replace the new pot according to your own preferences and the fatness of your wallet.
