Food grade Teflon is used for heated cooking products regularly and without issue. While it is true that teflon can decompose at high heats and give off toxic fumes. This only begins to occur above 620° F, significantly hotter than maximum recommended grilling temps. https://www.compoundchem.com/2016/02/04/teflon/#:~:text=Though%20PTFE%20itself%20is%20inert,releasing%20toxic%20fluorine%2Dcontaining%20compounds.
