More rules may come as the community grows, but for now, I'll remove spam or anything obviously mean-spirited, and leave it at that.

Wife was craving comfort food so I made us some goulash in the Lecruset last night.
They are a bastard cookware hiding behind a fragile veneer of porcelain.
But for real, it just seems like its another thing to chip/crack/break. I personally like cast iron because its one giant piece of metal that's practically impossible to damage under regular use. I don't see why I would give that up just to have a candy shell around it.
For highly acidic dishes
Wouldn't make a difference unless the enamel is on the inside, though?
Yes that is what OP is talking about. The LeCreuset pans have black enamel inside, colourful enamel outside.
