We tested Le Creuset against Staub to find the best Dutch oven. Le Creuset won, but honestly, you can't go wrong with either. What's your favorite?
Which is more durable as a Dutch Oven: Le Creuset or Staub?
I have dutch ovens from both Le Creuset and Staub. You can’t go wrong with either, and it comes down to your preference. There are some things that Staub does better than Le Creuset and vice versa.
The enameled exteriors are of equal quality IMO. However, LC seems to have a wider variety of colors.
I prefer the Staub lids over LC’s because of the little bumps inside, which self bastes whatever you’re cooking.
I also think it’s easier to clean Staub’s black enamel interiors, and allow a patina to form, similar to any cast iron cooking vessel. You don’t have to worry about staining the inside. On the other hand, I like Le Creuset’s light interior. It is easier to see how things are browning.
FYI, around Thanksgiving, Staub puts a few colors of their 4 qt DO on sale for $99. I’m not sure if this deal is available outside of the US nor can I confirm that they’re doing the same sale again this year.
