The orange set lists as hard enamel porcelain cookware, rather than porcelain enamel II cookware.What is the difference between the two?

Dear Nilli,Thank you for your inquiry.The only difference is that the first was solid in color and the II has the gradient pattern where it starts off darker at the bottom and get lighter towards the top. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.Sincerely,Tonia D.

Both sets have the same quality non-stick surface. The differences are listed below:- infinite is dishwasher safe; Elite is hand wash only- Infinite has stainless steel lids; Elite has glass lids- Infinite is oven safe to 500 degrees; Elite is oven safe to 400 degreesFrom what I can see, it is somewhat your preference, though I personally like the Infinite.Hope that helps!

It is a beautiful white, ceramic, non stick surface. No Teflon, or "Teflon like", coating. Ceramic is just naturally non stick. It is gorgeous, does not scratch easily, and so much more healthy that a chemical saturated coating. This is just a beautiful and highly functional set of cookware.

The Amazon description of this product includes "porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates" not cast iron cooking grates. I am confused both regarding the question and the answers. Did an earlier model have cast Iron (without the "porcelain-enameled" coating)?

The difference is the porcelain on the lesser expensive model vs stainless on the other.

No, there is no porcelain coating.They are smooth cast iron and "seasoned" quickly with some wipes of oil and low heat before I used for food. Now I give it a few swipes with veg oil every few uses to keep it that way.

Yes, the interior is Porcelain Enamel, rust proof. The pot works very well but is smaller than pictured although it WILL hold 40 oz barely.

I believe they're the same product. I have both and they both do the same job for me. Get the discoloration off the bottom of my new pots and pans.

I don't really know but one thing that I do know this is the best cookware I have ever owned. I have purchased cookware that I thought was a great value, but ended up regreting spending the money on "junk". The cookware looks great, cleans up wonderfully and I would recommend this purchase if you are considering purchasing the cooks standard NC.

If you don't mind spending the extra $50 I would go with the stainless steel model. I've owned my E210 for about five years and I've noticed the porcelain is not hold up. I live in Wisconsin.

I love the white enamelware. It's a personal reason, though. My grandma had the white enamelware, so it brings back good memories, plus it goes with everything! Hope this helps.

Go by the model number, the description is used for both and someone didn't edit it I guess. (Make sure you have the orange selected at the top of the page).

It's all correct. Try not to read into it too much. It is nonstick, but don't think of it as a "coating," but more as the hard anodized ware...it just happens to be a great nonstick surface!! It is heavy like the other hard anodized ware pots and pans; they are gorgeous!! You don't have to use nonstick utensils, but I do anyway just to be careful. Also, you do not cook on high with these; you only need to cook on 3 or 4 with these - they hold their heat that well. I bought the whole set plus this one. They are amazing!!

don't know the diff. i've never bought an orange one.i don't think the color of the pkg makes any diff. just read the specs.mine was labled platinum coated but the edges didn't last.

Mine says Farberware Classic, but is distinctly different from the old Farberware classic. For one, the pans are smaller; for another, the saucepan is not aluminum clad but rather "impact bonded stainless."

The biggest difference -- perhaps the **only** difference -- is that the exterior of the $499 set has a matte, brushed aluminum finish (as opposed to the shiny, stainless steel finish of the more expensive set).I bought the less-expensive set, and the brushed-aluminum exterior finish on my set scratched easily and immediately.It was absolutely heartbreaking; it was such lovely cookware for the first 15 seconds out of the box!BUT!!! that said, their performance is every bit as good as the more expensive set. So, if you can live with a less-than-pristine exterior appearance, then you can have a super-high quality product at a good price!Hope this helps.
