The Teflon coating will not prevent functionality, but WILL burst into flame wherever a plasma streamer of considerable current leaves the metal. (the tiny flames will extinguish the instant the arc quenches)
I'm definitely a fan of using creative materials for Tesla terminals. I find all these guys using turned aluminum or dryer-vent toroids quite boring, since all their machines look identical.
Finally, I wouldn't count on the arcs causing that pan to resonate.
Pretty much anything conductive can be used as a Tesla Toroid, especially after you've tuned the windings to the impedance changes that it generates. (I've used objects like wrenches and pencils, for example)
An object with irregular shapes and ridges like that one will not behave like a traditional torroid, in that the "lightning" will tend to emanate strictly from the highpoints, where the electrons are given an opportunity to gather en masse before escape.
