Quality of the finish isn't quite on par with the pricier brands, but works just as well. Along comes its cousin on steroids, it has all the amazing rough with the etquette of a french butler.

This is my first enameled cast iron. Cleaning it is a little detailed but to be expected due to crevasses/grill pattern. Enamel finish makes for very easy cleanup.

Nice searing from the deep grill pattern. Food looks like you cooked it on the bbq but also sears smaller cut veggies really well, too. Flat and evenly crisp.

The le creuset cannot be cleaned - even boiling with baking soda, per instructions. Just bought the real lecreuset on ebay for [. It's incredibly difficult to clean as well.
