What is the difference btwn porcelain enamel & stainless steel & which is better?

Question

Answer 1

It's might surprise you but they are actually both steel. (I researched this when I had to buy cookware for a wedding present.)

The differences are that enameled steel (aka porcelain enamel) conducts heat better than stainless steel and has a semi non-stick quality to it.  Stainless steel may not conduct heat as well, but is easier to clean and will last longer -- porcelain enamel tends to chip over time.

I hope that helps!  I bet it's more costly (?) but I'd go with the stainless if you're thinking easy clean-up and frequent/long-term use.

Answer 2

"Personal taste"?!?
