Discussion Replacement for Teflon non-stick griddle

Want to replace the aging Teflon cookware. I've seen ceramic being used but that too tends to be a coating; not sure if that would also release particles into food. Any recommendations?
 
cast iron. if you cook a good amount it will stay seasoned. all nonsticks wear out and that wear must release stuff in to your food. plus the cast iron will last forever as long as you don't leave it out in the rain for 40 years. think of how much money you will save over your lifetime not buying new nonstick every few years, and cast iron is even cheap to buy. you may even live longer to enjoy the savings.
 
Cast Iron or Carbon Steel. Non-stick cookware isn't bad either, just buy high quality products and keep the temperature below 500° F.

Ceramic is much less hazardous, but degrades faster. my brother and SIL cook allot and went with stainless except for one pan for eggs, because they stick so easily. All Teflon products today should be PTFE based which is safer than the older PFOA based coating process.
