They recommend only medium heat for those types of pans. What good are they then?

Most of your cooking is done at medium. You cook at high you learn to eat a lot of burnt food.

I said most not ALL. You don't cook steak in a non stick pan, which is the topic of this thread.
Unless you don't know how to cook.

Just get decent stainless steel, or learn how to keep your cast iron seasoned properly.
I keep 2 teflon pans. Restaurant grade (steel) 7" saute. Used ONLY for cooking eggs. High heat is OK, as long as the pan isn't dry.

the reason is that non stick pans give off fumes, esp on high heat and esp if there isnt anything in the pan, just pre-heating it. they are trying to err on the side of caution and not have ppl heat them too high i would bet.

eggs are best cooked in cast iron with a) a ton of butter, or b) a little bit of bacon fat.

I don't trust non stick pans, I use one all the time but I would really prefer not to but someone keeps bringing them into the house despite my protests.. I'm probably going to pick a semi expensive professional small pan to compliment the professional set I already have and then make a point by not using the other one.
And yes, heat is a big deal with those. You do not want to get them too hot. As for steaks I tend to most times flash broil those anyway.

It's a convenience thing. Eggs over (or "dippy eggs" as my in-laws call them) is just far simpler in a properly-curved non-stick egg pan. The gravy adds the missing flavor anyway when you ladle it on top.
Find me a small cast iron skillet that has a proper radius curve (so I can throw the eggs to flip) and I'll try it.
