I do think it is easier to see how much browning occurs in a Dutch oven with light colored enamel. But when I use my cast-iron skillet to sear meat, I never worry about how much I’m browning the meat. Then again, I guess if manufacturers could make unenameled cast-iron pans in a light color, I suppose they would do it and people might prefer it!
They are both pretty great but staub has those bumps inside the lid that helps trap moisture and cook things faster.
Now that was a battle! I barely survived.
I have a Le Creuset round wide for big cooks and a Staub 24 cm (4 qt) for smaller ones. Love them both.
Le (Luh) Creuset has better handles. You can firmly grab it. Don’t drop the roast.
Or none.
