Porcelain cookware cannot endure direct contact with heat especially with high heat. It might melt if being exposed to high heat for a long period of time. It is better used on low heat. If being dropped, porcelain cookware might chip or crack. It's not an ideal to use porcelain cookware on glass cooktop as it might melt if being exposed to high heat and will cause damage to the cooktop. Porcelain cookware comes in an assortment of colors and patterns.

On the other hand, stainless steel cookware can resist to high heat. It can be exposed to heat for a long period of time. It doesn't get chipped or cracked if being dropped. It can be used on any kind of cooktop and in the oven. Stainless steel cookware only comes in metal-colored.

Ceramic cookware is made form clay and you need to make sure they do not contain heavy metals. Enamel porcelain cookware is melted onto cast iron, stainless steel, or aluminum and creates a coating.

IMO, yes. Porcelain can take "more punishment" than stainless steel". It has been my finding, having used both, that porcelain can take "more punishment" than stainless steel. With stainless steel, you have to be careful about which chemicals --- and utensils (as in a brillo pad) than you have to with procelain. The difference lies in which will absorb the most bacteriae. That brings stainless steel to the forefront, in that it doesn't absorb bacteriae. It's just that you have to be very careful about how you clean your stainless steel. Do it gently --- but clean it thoughly.

Porcelain is clay (ceramics) that is first kiln fired, then glazed and re-fired in the kiln.

Enamel is a coating that is baked on a metal pan.

porcelain cookware does not contain metals (watch out for metailic glazes) and can be put in a microwave, whereas enamel cookware is a coated metal pan intended for stovetop or oven use.

Technically no. Because if you drop the stoneware on marble or hardwood floor, it may not break. But if you drop porcelain it will break.

All things being equal, and the non-stick saucepans being in good condition, the non-stick saucepan should be easier to clean. Anything in it should come off with a nylon scrubber. Once the non-stick surface is damaged, all bets are off and the stainless steel wins. You can use anything up to and including sandpaper on stainless steel to get it clean.
