I collect roosters so this was a must have for me. I love the French Oven by itself, but I am absolutely in love with this lid. I have a staub lid holder so when I am not cooking with it I have the lid on display in my kitchen. Of course I love the French Oven for all the reasons I love staub, self-basting lid, preseasoned, easy clean up and the colors are so beautiful. I love this piece.
