[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I see a worn LeCreuset in the kitchen of an older woman (60+), I think, "Excellent cook."

When I see a Staub in the kitchen of a younger woman (<50), I think, "Serious cook."

When I see a LeCreuset in the kitchen of a younger woman (<50), I think, "Wants to be a better cook/has more money than experience."

Such pseudo-chef snobbery and stupid stereotyping. So it's ok for a 65yo woman to use Le Creuset, but the under 50yo should have realized that Staub is what is now "in" among people who consider themselves serious cooks? What if the woman just likes the nearly 90 year old tradition of Le Creuset (vs the only 40 or so years that Staub has been around), or comes from a family of excellent cooks and just sticks to what her parents have used for ages? And where do men fit into your scheme? Is it ok for them to use Le Creuset? Really, your comment is not only stupid but also sexist.

The bottom line is, both Le Creuset and Staub make excellent Dutch ovens. What you use comes down to personal preference. Choosing one or the other isn't an indication of being a better or lesser cook. [/quote]
