Hi all, just wondering if ceramic cookware is safe to use around finches?

The inside of my double oven is ceramic coated, as far as the cookware not sure based on this write up...Teflon is the biggest hazard that I know of regarding cookware.

Ceramic cookware doesn't seem to have the PFOA and PTFE's in them like non-stick pans that when overheated may cause your birds to get sick, possibly die.
