What is coating inside Staub pots? Is it enameled?

Most of what I have is Le Creuset which is the cream colored enamel. Staub is a black interior but I assume it isn't bare cast iron - is it just a clear coating enameled? I assume it can't be seasoned as bare Cast Iron? And if it is enameled I assume it is fine to cook tomato-based dishes in one? Always heard that you shouldn't do that in bare cast iron. Thanks for any help!

They're enameled.
ETA: Fine for all types of dishes.

Yes, you can use your enameled cast iron with tomatoes without worry.

What sets Staun enameled cast iron apart from Le Creuset and Lodge? It seems there is a large price difference between the 3 and im wondering what would make ponying up the extra $ worth it.

I cook tomato based dishes in bare cast iron and dont have any problems with my seasoning. It's overblown in my opinion.

The name and the price.

There are quite a few myths about cast iron out there.

Its usually just the first few dishes you want to avoid tomato based dishes. Once you have a seasoning on it, it fair game.

I bought one of the cheap enameled cast irons from Sams a few years ago and love cooking with it. The only issue I have is the staining of the enameled portion, do the more expensive and presumably better made ones stain as easily?

My lodge is stained after a year of use. I just recently contacted customer support and this is their instructions:

For persistent stains, soak the interior of the cookware for 2 to 3 hours with a solution of bleach, consisting of one teaspoon of bleach per pint of water.

Yeah I do the bleach thing. Just was hoping to get one that stayed white one day. But it cooks great and no chips so really doesn't matter I suppose
