Ridge monkey non stick last ages but nothing last forever. For anglers that fish maybe once a month or are fair weather anglers will last a life time. I’ve had mine years now n it’s going strong that’s with me a complete bank rat up until this year when my son was born.

A good rule of thumb is that the higher the smoke point of the oil, the more cooking methods you can use it for. For example, butter has a very low smoke point, so it's limited to lower and medium-temperature cooking. If you go much higher, it's going to turn brown and bitter quickly
but to be honest I dont hardly ever use any oil in my ridgemonkey as its just not needed

Far from it sadly..
The fact that it may have such a high smoke point tells you everything..

GRAPESEED oil is IMHO the best cooking oil
if you need any I use this in my Airfryer at home all the time expensive but you only need a spray and it does not have any taste brilliant stuff and wont damage non stick coatings the smoke point for grapeseed oil is about 420°F. “Since grapeseed oil has a relatively high smoke point and a 'clean' taste, it's an ideal all-purpose oil,

Seed oils are bad which is pretty well hidden considering there all in the shops!
I've moved onto ghee

Never used oil in my ridge monkey. Everything I cook apart from sausages or bacon is a reheated meal from my freezer, stews, curry, chilli etc. Cook in batches, Chuck in freezer. Reheat in ridge monkey. Job done.

Google PFAS.
Cook with butter, ghee, lard. Oils are not what they seem, highly processed using solvents , prone to severe oxidation are responsible for the high level of cellular inflammation in a majority of the population. Google seed oils ..

If one uses a high point smoke oil that doesn’t reach its smoke point then would this preserve the coating as afterall it could be the release of chemicals that are released after exceeding the smoke point?.

Its generally good to avoid anything that is labelled, as 'calorie free', 'fat free' or 'sugar free' also added to that list is anything labelled as smart, such as 'smart motorways', smart meters etc

Never herd of the cooking spray oil thing affecting Teflon but from what i have read on here sounds like a good shout, never been a fan of it tbh.
As far as i'm aware Teflon is not actually poisonous, it was one of the chemicals (PFOA) that was used in its manufacturing that was particularly nasty. And this has not been used by dupont since the early 2010's.
Teflon is heavily used in the food and drinks industry in the UK and Europe, for its obvious non stick properties. So don't go scrapping the pans (unless they are from pre 2013) just yet as you will probably still be consuming a fair whack of it

At home we have a mixture of stainless and Teflon
All the Teflon is scratched,, we still use it but won't be buying sny mote.
How long do I have to live?

I don't think anyone does that, but I was surprised when I first heard that Teflon stuff is in these things, as long as it is not damaged it does not release any toxic substances, but I still find it strange that it is used in clothing etc
I have been avoiding Teflon for cooking for a while now. I now have a Cast iron sandwish toaster yes it weighs a lot but I prefer to cook in something that weighs more than in a lighter Teflon toaster which is also very sensitive to scratches and releases poison from scratch 1.

Can't beat a good bit of Lard...  Every frying pan Sandwich skillet high end low end at home or on the bank. They all start to loose there so called no stick coating after a while.

Tossed my Ridgemonkey cookware long ago. Probably had something to do with having watched Dark Waters, but their non-stick coating was a joke - regardless of what oil I used. It fell off immediately and looked awful. Now they went with the granite look, supposedly because it looks more premium, but I don't know.

Tis a irony, the healthy option being err...less healthy 
I wonder what the next product will be that interacts with something.
Won't be long until BBQs, frying, dairy and whatever else you like is banned and replaced by a healthier option that'll be found to be carcinogenic in 30 years
Just give me good old lard....sorted

Tefal or Du-Pont as they own the Tefal brand putting a warning out not to use lo-cal oils etc...on their non stick now, there's a joke pity they didn't send out warnings to the locals living near their main plant 30 odd years ago to not drink the local water supply, what a responsible company they are.

Luke .........its nothing to do with it in your system ?
its to do with fooking up the non stick capability of the coating by using low cal sprays
when new you can cook more or less anything in them and when finished a bit of wet kitchen roll and a wipe its like brand new in seconds
and if you DONT ever use low cal sprays and just use normal oil it should stay that way for years
but
using low cal sprays as per the Warning labels now on non stick Teflon pans the Non stick coating stops being non stick and stuff will stick like s**t to a blanket and cleaning becomes hard work

I read that digesting the non-stick coating can lead to an increase in capitalitis. Are you sure it's not just the non-stick you've been licking? Those windows look awfully clean...

We all have teflon in our systems now anyway so use low cal sprays all you want 😂

Good info,thanks Gerry
I notice Ridgemonkey,and other manufacturers are now using this granite/stone type of non stick coatings on their pans..
Trakker do some sets with this coating ,and best of all ,they have removable handles,which work along the same lines as Trangia handles,which allow,in Trangias case the pans to be used in a open fire,or stick stove, Bushbox or Honey stoves usage..

Should have a warning on the **** plastic handles as well that melted and stuck to my hand. Chucked all my ridge monkey pans in the bin after that. Cheap chinese ***** like most over priced carp tat.

I don't think anybody has a clue what you're talking about?
Some kind if oils damage tefal none stick coating is that what you're talking about? Or are you saying about none stick coatings being carcinogenic?
You're giving us a warning but I don't understand what the warning is.

What bit of TEFAL are forced now to put on all their new non stick pans sold a warning sticker not to use low cal or any type spray oils as it damages the non stick capability's

clearly the warning sticker wont be on your Ridgemonkey YET !
but Im sure once it becomes more widely known they will

well if it helps just one persons non stick toaster it was worth grabbing peoples attention
I love emphasizing my post and TBH I actually do it quite a lot just for the Pr,cks it upsets the poor delicate flowers must hurt their eyes or SOMETHING
IF you want to go on for years still having the lovely slippery non stick surface year in year out as it was new then follow the advice in my post TEFAL are forced now to put on all their new non stick pans sold a warning sticker not to use low cal or any type spray oils as it damages the non stick capability's
but some will ignore the warning no doubt and have stuff stick like shyte to a blanket

I don't really understand what you're saying?
However, loads of the non stick came off my rigemonkey and I ate it. I'm guessing that's not good.

I should of said Ridgemonkey and others Toasters warning
Im posting this to try and help you !!!
not have some one say I been using it for blah blah with no problems thats a bit like saying I know someone smokes 60 fags a day and is 90 and hasnt got lung cancer
the indisputable evidence is by the inventors of Non stick pans Tefal
and became the first creator of non-stick cookware but due to a huge increase in warrantee claims
TEFAL are forced now to put on all their new non stick pans sold a warning sticker not to use low cal or any type spray oils as it damages the non stick capability's
my answer simply tip out the shyte
and refill with a proper oil of your choice I use grapeseed oil expensive but as you need so little and it has no taste I love it
