Enameled Cast Iron question

For you Baws with enameled cast iron pots, especially white on inside…
Do you consider the stains from cooking character/patina and a symbol of your labor of love?
OR
Do you try to remove and keep your pot prestigious like the day it was brought home?
What side you on ?

Mine are no longer white.

I clean mine with pink stuff. I don't need the inside looking perfect, but I don't like stains on the outsides of the pots. This works well for both.

I clean mine with a little Barkeepers friend. Cleans it right off and the pots look brand new.

I like outside to not have discolorations, some of the white fades brown on inside but I don’t worry too much about that. You can also use super coarse salt with sponge/soapy water to clean it off

The larger ones I use for browning meat are brown. I have smaller ones that I use to boil and simmer and those are white. Not like new, but very clean. I have Le Creuset and they’re about 15 -17 years old.

Mine all have a patina. That’s a fancy word for stain.

I have the 12 Quart Cajun Classic in purple and gold with white inside. Many years of patina on the white. Thought I ruined it when I did an over the top chili on my smoker. But the soot all came off with oven cleaner. . I think it’s all character.

I have a Staub. Black interior so no clue what kind of stains are on it.

The most expensive pot I own is a La Creuset oval. Did I spell that right? It is light tan and stained on the inside. I never had a problem with that because it cooks very well. Maybe I will actually clean the inside so I will know for certain it makes no difference.

Black don't stain. But my one ceramic did.
