A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Get you a stainless steel chainmail scrubber. Don’t use it on non-stick cause you’ll ruin the teflon coating, but on everything else it’s wonderful, like steel wool that doesn’t fall apart.
Something like this, although personally I prefer a more fine chain.
Also if you want to avoid plastic, get rid of the Teflon non-stick pans. Once you use stainless steel wool to clean, there isn't much of a downside to using stainless steel pots and pans anyways.
There's cooking tricks to get the stuck on stuff off while you're cooking, too, though I forget what it's called.
Edit: a comment further down had it: deglaze.
No, definitely don't. Teflon is completely safe, once it's already made. Keep that shit as long as you can. But avoid buying new Teflon, because the manufacturing process puts a lot of plastics into the environment.
Contact with anything will result in trace material being exchanged. It's not acutely dangerous but could be contributing to the buildup of microplastics inside us. I donated the ones I had rather than junk them so that someone who disagrees can still use them, plus I'm aware restaurants still use them, but at this point I'm trying to minimize the amount of plastics that contact my food. Which also involves avoiding plastic utensils while cooking. I've got a mix of metal and wooden utensils, avoiding teflon means I can use the metal ones whenever, too.
Sure, but the chemical structure of teflon itself is pretty safe and can be easily expelled by the body, which puts it in a whole different category in terms of safety compared to the far more dangerous so-called "forever chemicals" that are produced and released during the production of teflon.
I have one but I do find it a bit difficult. Maybe the fine chain ones would work better for me.
