The lid is heavy and chipped the enamel rather deep during shipping and handling I assume.  I’m not sure how to repair it.  I use it because it doesn’t occur to be in contact with the steam from my cooking.  It works great on my electric stove top, thank goodness. Other than the cosmetic damage, I really love how this cooks (and I cook with Kangen water).  I really love the nutrient rich aroma drip design of that a Staub offers.  Highly recommend.  Very valuable kitchen essential.
