Is Staub cookware as good as LeCreuset? Your opinions would be helpful...
Thanks, KatieB

Yes, it's as good. They are both great products.

I have both, and they are both nice.

They're both good, but I prefer the LC. It seemed to be finished more nicely. I had one Staub and I sold it to somebody who was happy to have it for a discounted price, since she couldn't afford to pay retail. All of mine are LC now.
Just stay away from Chinese-made enameled cast iron as there are a lot of problems with those. I think we've probably all seen the numerous recalls over recent years involving the enamel coating cracking off, chipping more easily and, in some cases, even releasing itself explosively from the cast iron.

There are endless debates on this subject. If you want to read one go to http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/692852. There are many other debates on this there.
the LC:
1) lighter interior makes it easier to monitor browning of food
2) lighter weight
3) brighter, more cheerful colors
4) better warranty and customer service
5) straigher sides with less slope
the Staub:
1) darker interior shows less staining but still stains
2) cover has basting nubs
3) might sear better because of the dark interior
They are both wonderful cookware. Just depends on which features you like best!

I have both and I think they're both good.

They are both great! I have more LC, but the Staub is just as good. I just bought the "perfect" pan/wok that is on for $149 now and I really like it! It has a glass lid.

I'm biased toward Le Creuset.

None of my Staub looks cheap to me. It is nicely made and finished. I think their transparent, rich colors are actually prettier than the crayon-box LC ones. But then I love them too. . . But Staub is more sophisticated looking I think.
