Name Brand Cookware Wars

Yesterday I was on Chowhound.com, a great foodie message board (amongst other things). I ran across a discussion about LeCreuset verses Staub (both French enameled cast iron cookware brands). I was surprised about the heated debate between the devoted fans of both cookware. To see the debate for yourself go to http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/469551 It is great that both brands have such devoted fans but I think they are too hung up in which brand is better As consumers, we should remember that sometimes similar brands are not necessarily better than the other, just slightly different in minor ways. In my own store, I have staff members that prefer LeCreuset and others that prefer Staub. The preference comes down to color and design and not performance because both perform beautifully and both are well worth the considerable price.
