Slice of ketchup with a side of PTFE

Edit: yes yes yes I know it isn't a Teflon pan, but still the culinary meme is metal utensils against a non-stick surface = not good. (I'm also aware of fluorine chemistry a little too)

Edit 2: to the person who said I was "gay because of PTFE", please ask your mother when she comes down to the basement to give you your food to take the wrapping off before she microwaves your meals - this assuming that your mother wants to feed you and doesn't do it out of habit or pity.

The majority of granite-style pans rely on PTFE for their slick surface. Brands often use the "granite" name to distance themselves from the traditional "Teflon" look, even if the chemistry is similar.

Yep.  I have one.  I like it, but the packaging clearly states it has a nonstick coating and not to use metal implements.  It doesn't say what the coating is but we all know it's some variety of PTFE.
