Okay, maybe this way is a wee bit juvenile and sneaky, but if you worked it well it could turn out okay.

LOL!! I think maybe alot sneaky! How's about explaining that the dangers from teflon are there for people too and buying them a set of stainless steel cookware to replace their teflon pans. It would be a loving gift, to protect them and to repay them for Oliver's care.
