I fry eggs WITH BUTTER in a nonstick pan all the time.

Regarding the fumes, it's true that if you put an empty nonstick pan over
high heat for five minutes or more, the pan can release dangerous fumes. If
you use the pan CORRECTLY there's no danger. Do you just not trust yourself
to remember that you have an empty pan on a hot burner?
