Is the ceramic coating better than standard nonstick?

It avoids PTFE and releases food well when new. It generally wears faster than PTFE, so it rewards low-to-medium heat and hand washing.

Can I use it in the oven?

Only at low temperatures, and not under a broiler. The wood handle is the limit, so check Nordic Ware's guidance before baking in it.

Hand washing is the safer choice. Dishwasher detergent and heat shorten the life of ceramic coatings and dry out the wood handle.

Silicone, wood or plastic. Metal utensils chip ceramic coatings, and once chipped the pan loses nonstick performance in that spot.

No. The aluminum body is not magnetic, so it works on gas, electric coil and glass-top stoves but not induction.

Home cooks who want a big, light pan for eggs, vegetables and one-pan dinners and are willing to replace it when the coating wears.
