How does it compare with Staub cast iron?

Stoneware is lighter and cheaper than cast iron and heats more gently, but it does not sear or hold heat the way cast iron does. The finish is designed to match.

Is the Staub ceramic set worth it?

It is a well-liked set at 4.7 out of 5, with even baking, easy cleanup and a finish that matches Staub cast iron. Whether it is worth it depends on how much you value the coordinated look and the covered square baker over plainer stoneware.

How does it compare with Le Creuset stoneware?

Both are glazed stoneware with similar oven and dishwasher claims. Staub's edge here is the covered square baker and a finish made to match Staub cast iron; Le Creuset offers its own matching colors and shapes.
