Is non-stick coating dangerous, if it's coming off pans or George Foreman grill? Doesn't it get in the food?

I don't wanna be paranoid, but it seems like the little bits of that black non-stick coating would get in the food being cooked. I just thought of this–and while it seems so common, that it wouldn't be harmful–it just doesn't seem healthy. What is that stuff made of anyway? It seems like the manufacturers would be aware that it eventually is going to flake off (some brands sooner than others), and hopefully make it from a non-hazardous material…anyway, I just wondered if anyone else had ever thought about this. I'm sure some people are just going to say, "Hey, buy more expensive cookware". All I know is, everything I've ever bought has eventually had the same issue…

    eventually that happens to just about all cookware. just think, it happened to your mom and her mom before her, and they turned out just fine.
    so don't worry. if that stuff was poisoning people's food, they'd be filling up the ER every day.

    Try using plastic or wooden utensils instead of metal. The coating won`t come off as easily

    Non-stick coatings eventually do come off. The quantity of the "flakes" in each serving will likely be quite small. Studies have shown that these "flakes" are bad for you.

    Use a stainless steel pan or season a cast iron skillet if you have any concerns.
