I thought it was Teflon coated cookware that ate your brain?
Just don't get hit over the head with a Teflon pan.
Seriously, just don't overheat it. If you do overheat the pan, throw it away.
Several years ago, I walked into the kitchen area in our office and saw some twerp cooking eggs in a Teflon pan I had at the office. The twerp had the heat on high. (I hate to imagine how bad eggs would be cooked at such high heat.) I took one look at it, turned the stove off, took the plate out of his hand, and dumped the eggs and pan into the trash.
He's going to punch me in the face for throwing my pan that he just ruined in the trash and my eggs that he took out of my egg carton? If he had, I would have filed a complaint with the sheriff's department for both assault and battery and for theft.

Also, who put out the fire you started by throwing a hot pan with hot oil into a trash can??
I'm completely baffled at how you think that throwing a hot pan with a little oil into the trash could possibly start a fire. Have you ever seen a fire start that way? Neither the oil nor the pan is anywhere near hot enough to bring materials in the trash to a temperature hot enough to cause it to start burning.
While I certainly wouldn't advise it, you could probably drop the pan into gasoline without igniting it.
