Steel is a metal. It is very hard and heat resistant. You can use hard metal utensils on stainless steel cookware and it won't scratch. Even if it does scratch, it will still cook things fine. You can also heat it almost as hot as you want on your stovetop or inside your oven. High quality stainless steel cookware should withstand any heat. Low quality, thin stainless steel cookware may warp a little, but otherwise will be fine.Teflon is a plastic. If it gets too hot, above medium heat on the stovetop, it will scorch and lose its non-stick properties. Even worse, if it gets very hot, it may release toxic gases and flake off of your pan into your food. Always keep Teflon at or below medium heat on the stovetop. Avoid using Teflon inside an oven unless it is only on warm. Teflon is also not as durable or as hard as steel, especially when it gets hot. Only use plastic or wooden utensils on your Teflon cookware while you are cooking. Metal or ceramic utensils will scratch the Teflon surface, causing it to lose it's nonstick properties and possible flake off into your food. Always clean your Teflon with a paper towel, a cloth, or a non-stick safe cleaning pad. Abrasive plastic brushes, steel, and copper wool will damage your Teflon cookware.The benefits of using and maintaining your Teflon cookware are that it will easily cook your food, even fish and eggs, without sticking. It will also be very easy to clean. The benefits of steel cookware are that they can stand up to abuse and also can provide a nice sear to your food that Teflon can't.
