Well, right. Avoiding is different than limiting.

FYI There are still options for nonstick pans without PFAS: https://www.consumerreports.org/home-garden/cookware/best-fr...

Its true that you can get nonstick pans without PFAS, but the suggested nonstick pan on that link is one of the "ceramic" nonstick pans. Those pans get their nonstick property from a silicone coating. The parent and GP comments were discussing avoiding plastics and jumping from plastic to silicone is barely making any progress.

IMO ditch the concept of nonstick pans and just use fat on stainless steel.

Or carbon steel or cast iron, both of which can effectively become non-stick.

Amen. One would be best advised to stick to the tried and true.
