You are correct that Teflon has been PFOA-free since 2013, however, that does not make it safe to use, in my opinion, since it is merely a change to a different PFA. The warning is to not heat the pan to over 500°F (260°C). which means don't let the pan burn.
It does not fill me with confidence, given that they maintained that Teflon was safe and effective to use for fifty years, before being caught out.
Oh for sure, Teflon is nasty shit, but studies do support the contention that PFOA was the worst part of Teflon in the past. I still don't allow any Teflon cooking pans in my house. Just wanted to make sure the facts were clear.
You said PFOA is Teflon. It is not and never was. Ergo you did not have your facts straight.
