Wife was craving comfort food so I made us some goulash in the Lecruset last night.

I recently got a 28cm cocotte from Staub and I love it.

I have to be more careful and avoid metal spoons and spatulas to not damage the coating.

But I like that I can abuse simmering with lemon juice, tomato, vinegar, wine without weakening the seasoning.

I don't use it for pasta though, unless I'm making sauce that takes hours to cook. For quick pasta sauce dishes (that stay on the pan for 10-30 min, not several hours ) I use one of these.
