Once again spouting rubbish! This is an inert polymer; the individual chemicals that go in there can cause cancer, but there are none left once it has been polymerised.
"There is no PFOA in the final Teflon product, so there is no risk that it will cause cancer in those who use Teflon cookware." From a US Prof that did a definitive study
Back to mixing some more chemicals now (literally!).

30 carcinogens in oregano (maybe 30+ by now?). Most of the carcinogens you eat come from natural sources. You should look at something like the HERP Index for risk.

I have one of these, i can't get the egg to cook on top before it goes crispy on the bottom. And, it's too small to flip the egg over. You could probably find a couple of good quality egg rings for this price.

Try lowering the heat? I find the pan slips off my hob as it's so small but it is nice for one egg (just have to keep holding the pan!) Got mine for £4 too at Morrisons.

You can definitely flip the egg over, you just need to practice more!

Cover the pan with a lid or plate, the steam cooks the yolk, makes it perfect and runny everytime without burning the bottom! I just bought a Tefal small pan, bigger than these from J32 Tefal Outlet on the M62 for 4.99

That's what i used to do. Lid was too large though. From a milk pan and had to balance on the frying pan and edge of stove. Seems like lots of work. Egg rings seem so much easier.

decent price. But not suitable for induction hobs! So heat... but not for my unfortunately :-( needed a small pan like this as well.

Tkmaxx is full of ceramic pans like this with steel base which can be used on induction cookers at around the same price. Tefal does not sell anymore due to its use of cancer causing teflon /PTFE. Therefore there is always sale of tefal items every day every where and some gullible people get sucked into this kind of false advertising.

Voted cold, nasty teflon. Would rather not risk my kids health thank you very much.
