Protip: Get some carbon steel pans (can't go wrong with de Buyer brand) or good old cast iron. Though, even with teflon gone from your kitchen, you've still got to be careful with other toxic fume sources such as overheated oil or the wax coating that most new pans come with :) As for the pans: Just use them as you would any other pan and after a while you'll find them to be just as non-stick as any one of those overpriced poison pans. Don't bother with flaxseed oil as people on the internet like to recommend, soapy water is fine as long as you dry the pans well afterwards, and if you want to use metal cooking utensils in your metal pan don't let anyone stop you.
