Depends, do you think eating lead is safe?
Even bran new nonstick pans are horrible ideas. Don't use them. Get cast iron.
Allclad has factory seconds sales like 4 times a year, I think there’s one going one right now. If you’re unfamiliar, they’re a premium brand for high end home stores so they’re bar for quality is very high, because of this they can’t sell any products that have minor cosmetic defects or even damaged packaging. So, these factory seconds are sold for a huge mark down. Larger sets can still go for a lot more than a disposable nonstick you’d find in a grocery store, but they’re worth it. Alternatively, you can find them on Craigslist or marketplace pretty regularly for a steal, too.
Stainless clad pans are a little different to work with compared to nonstick but preheat the pan, cook with oil, and you’ll prefer it by miles to nonstick.
Edit: sales still going on, here’s a link. Happy cooking.

I have no idea.
This says the PTFE passes through undigested but who knows:

Call me a cynic, but I'd not really take health advice from them, let alone on something they want to sell people.
Undigested doesn’t mean it doesn’t leach anything nasty or cause problems (particularly over long periods of time.)
Some almost certainly doesn’t fully pass.
Hell no. Lead and PFAS.
From what I understand, that is unsafe. Having said that i've been using one in a worse condition too. Best to limit the use of non stick pans anyways unless its for eggs or smth delicate pl us careful with the wash
Throw that shit away ang get an All Clad everyday pan or Staub or something. There will be tons of sales and getting proper cooking equipment is worth the investment
