Teflon is a brand name for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene. It is widely known for its non-stick properties and is commonly used as a coating for cookware, making food release easier and cleanup simpler.
You can change what you're cooking with, not using non-stick cookware or teflon.
