le chasseur vs le creuset

[spooky]

Any thoughts?

The budget is not quite there yet, but when I can buy a french oven which should I go for? Quite a difference in the price.



TIA

And as far as I can tell, there is no difference in quality!

I have a "cheap" le chass and a friend has a le cruset - I am yet to notice that her casseroles taste better than mine

i like le chasseur and find them fine

i have le creusset.. and i love it.

A friend of mine was a chef, and he had both in his kitchen and swears there is no difference, his skillets and dutch ovens would be over 10 yrs old now (the old orangey burnt red colour) and they look as new.

I don't think it REALLY makes a difference. But like anything you'll have people that swear by one and not the other.

Is it true that the Le Creuset has an extra coating of enamel?
I'm getting one for my birthday and was leaning towards Le creuset for this reason, but I noticed that the Le Chasseur has a maximum heat of 200 compared to 180 for the Creuset (I know it's not that much)
