Haven't really been able to find so much information about it, but seeing the problems people are having with PTFE and PEEK on price and slippery:
Why not just find a pan and strip the handle and machine it?
Old frying pans can be had for cheap or free.

What's the downside? There must be some.

Somebody has done it I believe, but Bakelite isn't rated for 260C.

just another idea, bike cable housing also have teflon lining inside. However, as far as I know, the cables are only 1.Xmm in internal diameter, also not sure what is the thermal performance of the housing. However, they are incredibly strong as the housing is wrapped with steel strands!
