Is ceramic better than Teflon nonstick?

Ceramic is free of PFOA and PTFE and handles higher heat, but its release coating usually wears out faster than PTFE.

No. Use silicone, wood or plastic to protect the ceramic coating.

Does it work on induction cooktops?

Ceramic refers to the coating, not the base. Check the pan's base material before buying for induction.
