I broke the lid when I purchased it, so it's not included. I have a lot of Staub cookware, so I haven't used this one much. I'm organizing my collection as it's been in storage. There are no stains or chips. ● Seasoning is already done, so you can use it immediately. ● If white marks appear on the parts exposed to heat after washing, please clean them by heating with vinegar and baking soda. This item has been used very little, so please consider it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor details.
