The lining on the inside of a nonstick pan is made of plastic. When heated, it can release toxic fumes; when scratched, it can chip off, blending in with tasty bits of char and grains of pepper. \u201cData indicates that there are no health effects from the incidental ingestion of nonstick coating flakes,\u201d the company that produces Teflon says, noting that the government has deemed the cookware \u201csafe for consumer use\u201d \u2026
