“Staub Dutch ovens (or cocotte) are enameled and I prefer over LeCrucet.”

Staub Dutch ovens (or cocotte)are enameled and I prefer over LeCrucet partly because the interior is black instead of white and doesn’t stain as easily. But a Lodge Dutch oven or even a stainless steel one is fine. Have your wife tell you which pieces she cooks with the most and just get those and not a set. Most of the time sets are a waste of money as it will contain pans she doesn’t need or use. My choices would be a Dutch oven, 2 or 3 skillets (cast iron or carbon steel), two stainless steel 2 quart sauce pans, a high quality stock pot (if all you do is boil water a cheap one is fine but if she cooks anything else in quantity that requires an actual stock pot then All clad or something with a thick bottom that won’t get hot spots and burn the food) and optional but nice is my Staub braiser. That pan is perfect when I need a bigger bottom surface and some depth. It’s an unwieldy pan that has proven ridiculously useful and versatile.

“I like Staub for Dutch ovens and All Clad for stainless pots and fry pans.”

I like Staub for Dutch ovens and All Clad for stainless pots and fry pans. Nice to have a de buyer carbon steel fry pan for searing off steaks and chops too. Check outlet stores and look for sales. Cookware seems to have a big mark up

“Dutch Oven: Le Creuset, Staub or Williams-Sonoma”

The only way you could get the lucky couple a BIFL pot or pan is to buy ONE pot or pan. Cast Iron Skillet: Finex or Smithy Dutch Oven: Le Creuset, Staub or Williams-Sonoma Lots of other BILF brands. These are just a few of the more popular and widely available brands. They’re all often on sale. These are all BILF brands. There will be no “set” for $200 that will last like these single items.
