We've been told to avoid all teflon for potential toxins as well (on the assumption that part of the kids' inherent illness is being unable to excrete toxins like normal people.) I'm down with the glass and stainless steel... but the wafflemaker is still nonstick. I tell myself that it's an extremely high quality nonstick though.
