Both are made of clay.. Porcelain is made of a higher quantity clay which gives the item a more transparent look..

Same material, different cooking style. No better, no worse. Rather like comparing a stainless steel spoon to a stainless steel fork. You eat with both, but you really need to choose the right tool for the task. I wouldn't try eat soup with a fork, nor would I try to cook a stirfry in DeBuyer.

It's more like a natural stone - like the Pampered Chef stoneware you've seen. It is not shiny like ceramic - it is porous

The Best Stainless Steel Flatware GradeEither 18/10 or 18/8 flatware is best. Both are made from the same base material, grade 304 steel; 18/10 is something of a marketing trick and should not cost any more than 18/8. Grades such as 18/0 and 13/0 will have a less durable shine and less rust-resistance.

I never compared them. Only saw the granite color. Very satisfied with the granite silverware tray.

I just looked at the P.B. website and their dark handled flatware is NOT the same. There is a very similar one on West Elm (owned but the same company as P.B.) but at more than 2x the cost.

I do not know the answer to your specific question. However, the flatware that I received it just beautiful. It just feels good in your hand and the appearance is gorgeous.

Marble works seems sturdier, but I haven't seen recent Marble Works sets to accurately compare. The set we had growing up is still in amazing condition and it got/gets tons of use!

The non stick coatings are different on the Ozeri GreenEarth/StoneEarth. The main difference is the green one uses a ceramic based coating (similar to green pan et al) this one uses a "Stonehenge" coating. Both coatings are made by Greblon (a German company). Some more minor differences are the shape of the pan, handle style, 2/3 rivets, and the green is advertised as PTFE free but this one doesn't so I don't know.To further confuse things their SteelEarth pans use a third coating.I can't answer which is "better" but this one is quite good.

I had to toss my old copper-bottomed Revere Ware (warped, which I didn't notice on a non-glass top stove), and my grandmother's cast iron cookware (uneven on the outside). I now have a Cuisinart stainless steel set (copper in-between stainless), and use the Circulon Contempo pans for things like eggs (or when I just want an easy clean-up). They both work (the concentric ridges are inside the pan, not outside), with the Circulon being easier to clean, but slower to warm up, and Cuisinart being much more elegant to cook with. I have had the Circulon pans for about three years, with light use - they don't have a scratch on the, to my surprise (I don't use metal utensils with them, and I usually use a little oil).

The Stelvico is a faux granite stone, the classic is cast iron surface. I choose the cast iron because I am familiar with cast iron. Fun at any dinner and healthy cooking, I give it a 10.

I didn't know what that meant so I looked it up! :) Based on the definition I just read, I'd say it's continental size. It is bigger, thicker, and heavier than the previous flatware I had, which is one reason we picked it. My husband wanted something sturdy similar to what Outback restaurants use. He was very happy with this. In fact, we both love it. The kids seem to drop it a bit more often than they did the previous stuff, so I'm thinking it's a little big/heavy for them. However, they are 9, 11, and 13, and boys, so in a few years, this will not be an issue! And it doesn't bend like our other stuff had a tendency to do. Hope that helps!

I looked at both and I believe it is a matter of design, not function. The materials seem to be identical. In the time I have had these pans (I started with a saute pan to evaluate them) I have been very pleased both with the functionality and the design. This is an expensive investment, that from my early indicators will last many, many years.

I don't know the comparison item you're referencing but the kitchen cart is wonderful. You do need to reinforce the screws to enhance stability but it's very attractive and we have received numerous compliments! I'm afraid I don't know about the coat difference. Hope this is useful ! This is perfect for a country kitchen like ours.

they are pottery, not melamine. very nice dishes especially for the price. I have them in the white and aqua and they're make a pretty set. I had a couple of broken dishes but the vendor replaced them. the white ones came from Macys and no breakage with them
