Amazon Basics DOES have enameled cast iron cookware. I just ordered an Amazon Basics enameled cast iron casserole/braiser in white (actually cream color). Please review the Amazon Basics enameled cast iron dutch ovens.
I've never found the Staub or Le Creuset for much less than$400, let alone $200 something. But I buy Tramontina from Costco and get TWO good, decent, Dutch Ovens for under $100 (a 3.5 and 5.5 qt). For the money of the others, I can use and abuse them. If they fail, or damage, I can get EIGHT good Dutch Ovens for the price of ONE Staub or Le Creuset. Just won't have the "bragging rights" of saying I have something fancy. The two of them cook just fine and have never had any dish come out badly. Are they the "best" no, but the slightly smaller handles aren't that small to handle and the dimples on the lid aren't quite as good as Staub for drips back into the oven. But for 4 times the price and only get ONE, I can deal with those minor things.
Being a Total newb and not knowing what exactly I need and what I will do with it on the BBQ (and how often) the only thing I know is that these things will outlive you. I just bought a second hand lot of 3larger emaille pans, a sauce thing and 2 small flat bare castiron pans from an estate sale. This for 30 euro. Thats something different than 400 dollar for one that will be sold from my estate when I pass away.
I bought a green enameled Dutch oven by crockpot. It started chipping within a month and continues to terribly chip. I don’t use it for food anymore. When I contacted the company they said they would take a look at it, but I would be responsible for shipping back the very heavy iron Dutch oven (which would cost the same as purchasing it) they would then see if it was something the warranty covered and if it was then they would give me a new one (I can’t remember if I would have to pay the shipping back, this was about two years ago). SO PLEASE NO ONE BUY A DUTCH OVEN MADE BY CROCKPOT! there is no way to recover the money I lost
I bought a used Le Cruset from Ebay. Don't have $400 for a pot. But i love it! Use it every other week, at least. Best soup pot ever! I have a glass cook top. There are some scratches on it, but I'm not sure from the pot. If someone would like to gift me a brand new pot....mine is brown. A brighter color would be great.

Even if I experience some sticking, when browning in the Staub, I have never burned anything.

There's something about pre-used cookware that we love, too! Hope someone in your life is reading this comment, too 😉
