Staub or Le Creuset? For my money both are the ultimate in enameled cast iron. I go where the value is. I've been wanting a 7-qt for some time and I could not order this one fast enough when I saw the special price for the white cocotte. It was everything I hoped for. The quality is perfection, and I don't expect ever to see the price I purchased it for ever again. Not for a brand new item. Delivery was quick and my pot arrived in great condition. I will absolutely continue to check Wayfair as I expand my collection.
