   Sorry, wrong.  The Teflon starts to break down at temps as low as 500   
   degrees *F*  The previous poster was talking about temps in C.   
      
   The Teflon puts out tiny fibrous like stuff that floats through the air, and   
   while it kills Poly, it is none too good on humans, too.  Since I have   
   birds, I have very little Teflon, and when it is used, I watch it like a   
   hawk.  500F is possible at the heat that barely burns bacon.
