Well, there are many differences. Stainless steel sticks alot but nonstick works, non-sticks, stainless steal works, sticks. Nonstick would be better.
Stainless steel utensils can easily scratch nonstick coatings. To be safe, use only plastic or wood utensils with nonstick cookware.
Stainless steel cookware offers many advantages over other types of cookware for chefs and home cooks alike. Stainless steel cookware is beautiful, durable and easy to maintain. It is not coated with nonstick coatings, which can leach chemicals into foods.
Nonstick cookware should really be called stick-resistant cookware. The non-stick coating will help prevent foods from sticking, but you still need to use a small amount of butter, fat, or oil. You use less than for stainless steel cookware, but a small amount is still necessary.
Stainless steel cookware performs very well in the kitchen. In my experience stainless steel cookware has less tendency for foods to stick to it, making clean up a breeze.
Stainless steel cookware can be used either for gas or electronic range or on cooktop and in the oven. So yes, stainless steel cookware can be used for smooth top range.
