So we shouldn't cook food (or use easily-cleanable pots!) because we MIGHT release A LITTLE BIT of (maybe NOT EVEN TOXIC) chemicals into the food?
We're all gonna die!

I despise those "convenient" plastic trays used under "heat yourself" pizzas etc. They make the food inedible from the off-gassing of the plastic into the foodstuff. Aluminum is the only material for this kind of thing.
Then again, I'm the kind of guy who can taste whether you've got plastic or copper pipes in your house, and microwave popcorn nauseates me because it smells rancid.

We're all gonna die!Actually, the chemicals that are released are deadly to parrots and other birds. Accidently overheating a teflon pan will kill your parrot quick as a canary in a coal mine.
We only cook on stainless and cast iron (although I do have 1 non-stick pan for crepes only, and that one is never heated above medium).
And yes, we do have a parrot, so I'm not going to chance it one way or another.

Cook in steel or cast iron. Incidentally, has anyone settled the question of some connection between aluminum ingestion and Alzheimer or other nerve disorders?

Actually, there is a point hovering, here.
Cook in glass. Not plastic. Answers to follow in a few years - or not.

"The scientists heated new fry pans of various brands on a 250°C hot plate for 20 minutes." That's not science. That's an engineering test to destruction.
A recent commercial for Pyrex spoke of putting the ovenware in a 300oC oven. The narrator said, "It turns other saucepans into sauce!" They showed a metal saucepan melting and slumping in the heat.
My advice is, "Don't try cooking in a kiln, unless you're baking bricks."
And junk science is worse for your health than junk food is bad for your nutrition.
