I wonder if she has the "real" stuff. Its my understanding that food does not stick. If it chips it could be because they are second quality? its my understanding that second quality only gets one coating of enamel which will lead to chipping.


Oh, no, it's the real stuff. Don't think she ever buys second quality things.

La Creuset stuff lasts forever. I bought some imitation porcelain/iron cookware and the porcelain flaked off in a short time.
