When I finally decided to go get the Le creuset my local COSTCO was selling
(4.5qt dutch oven and 2qt sauce pan), they are no longer selling it, instead
they have a set from STAUB (5.liters and 2.5liters). I know the stuff on
display at Costco gets abused, but the lids and oven rims where all flaking
pretty badly, I don't remember seeing the same time of damage on the Le
Creuset stuff, so the question is: will the enamel on the rims flake just by
"normally" lifting and placing back of the lid?

Thx,

Guillermo

Good to hear that is your experience. Just yesterday I ordered my first LC
piece, hope it works good enough for me so I am encouraged to add couple of
more pieces (sizes and shape) I am interested in. Thx for your answer.
