Cast iron may not be as healthy as other people think either. The reason
for not sticking with cast iron is the carbon build-up (beside the addition
of oil). One would assume it is healthy, but if one is concerned with
safety in using Teflon, black carbon build-up in cast iron is probably more
a concern. No data on both.

Does anyone know of anyway to revitalize the non-stick property of the
Teflon coating.

My position is this. **** teflon. I don't need it one way or another.
Give me something without any fancy chemicals no matter how many
scientists say its ok. Who can you trust really?

Ill take cast iron. It can add trace amounts of iron to your food, but
thats actually a good thing. Also it can stop a bullet and if required,
take an intruder out in one swing. Try that with Teflon!

Teflon is nice on funky surfaces like grills and waffle irons. But its
just not needed.
