Can't say whether it's okay to cook with anymore, but you do have to realize that no matter what you do with a non-stick pan you will ingest teflon over time. Frankly teflon pans in my opinion are pretty crappy; short lifetimes and iffy whether they're good for you. I just use cast iron; they're cheap, last forever, are just as non-stick as teflon, and the only stuff you ingest off of them other than the food is some extra iron which is good for you.
