Any of the above. When did silicone become unsafe? Overheat melamine and you get toxins forming in the partially combusted or pyrolized material from which it's made. (Any melamine discolored from exposure to heat is best discarded.) Overheat silicone and you get silicone. Replace any utensil that has been heat damaged to remove any doubts. Any of the products will work well if the manufacturers' instructions are followed. Don't have them handy? Use common sense. Or WikiAnswers. Bon appétit.

However this scratched, eventually flaked off, and at high temperatures degraded to produce toxic gasses.To solve the problems with Teflon (which was soon banned in cookware) manufacturers tried many things including: high temperature factory baked on vegetable oil coatings, alternative plastics that are more robust than Teflon, trade secret coatings, ceramics, etc.Currently the most successful coatings for nonstick cookware are ceramics.Nonstick is a coating of the substance "Teflon", it is easily scratched so one must use heatproof plastic or wooden utensils in the cookware coated with it.
