Is the inner coating anodized or nonstick i.e. Teflon? I’m seeing lots of conflicting answers here

I believe it's anodized aluminum, black and unpolished. Food does stick to it, though, but not horribly, and it doesn't look so bad. I use mine almost daily on my portable induction cooker; it is a winner and my only regret is that I didn't buy more for friends.

Is the whole interior completely in stainless steel?

No, the interior is black hard anodized.

On which induction cooktops did the Hawkins induction cooktop work and on which ones it didnt work? Please name them.

It works on all induction cooktops
