For folks wanting to avoid "made in China" LC, Staub, and Made In are all built in France. Head over to Germany and Merten and Stock is the leader. All these have high manufacturing standards and high marks on testing.

I own LC and Made In and love working with both. The LC was a gift and i didn't want to spend that kind of money when I got another. Also I see LC went to a Plastic knob which is suspect at their price
