Reply to comment by pork_fried_christ in Le Crueset still BIFL? by pussayforlife

The next counterpoint for staub is their Dutch ovens have a bit more surface area for browning. I chose staub, but I do wish I had a creamy enamel interior… but the price made it an easy decision. I also remember reading cooking reviews and staub performed slightly better.

So my view on the price is a bit skewed because I used to work with a guy that also worked at bed bath and beyond and got me hooked up on the 7.25qt Le Crueset for $175. Since falling in love, I’d buy it for full price tomorrow and have no regret but before I got it I was definitely considering staub. Like I said, I didn’t prefer the black enamel because it hides the fond, but I DID like the points around the lid to condense steam when braising. They are definitely a really high quality product.
