Nonstick cookware
Nonstick is a coating on a metal pan. How hot it can go, whether it works on induction and which utensils it takes depend on the exact pan.

Read your pan's care instructions
A maker can allow the dishwasher and still suggest washing by hand. When food starts sticking, it can be built-up residue or a worn coating; cleaning removes residue, but it can't bring back coating that's gone. Follow your pan's own care method.
The table compares how each is made, which stoves it works on and how to wash it.

Questions before you choose
Do nonstick pans work on induction?
Only if the pan has a magnetic base. Most nonstick is coated aluminum, which needs a steel plate bonded underneath: All-Clad's HA1 has one and works on induction, its Essentials set doesn't. Check the maker's statement for your pan.
