I was eventually going to bring this up (and I think we've talked cast iron as much as we can), so what do you folks think about Teflon? My wife and I have been wary of it, and we've gotten by well enough with our stainless steel pans (in terms of things sticking to them). Do you think there are safety risks?

As for your pan, Doug, I do think the coating has worn off. This has happened with every non-stick pan I've ever used.
