I got the Oyster color and didn’t know the Le Creuset wasn’t a permanent label but a sticker until the second time I washed it. I made a few things in this pot before finally going for lasagna noodles. I am used to cooking with fully nonstick cookware and was surprised to find a noodle completely hardened to the bottom of this pot by the end, along with random pasta bits from some of the others. Frustrated, knowing I couldn’t abrasively scrub it, I soaked the pot overnight and  the pasta was completely off just from the water. What a relief! Still love the big size but wish the little bit of sticking didn’t scare me.
