That's strange because I have browned things numerous times over high heat in my le Creuset and never had this problem. I mean, there was some black stuff on the bottom but nothing that a little cleanser, (I like Barkeeper's friend) couldn't take off.
Maybe there's some defect, not visible to the naked eye within the pot surface? For example, metal cookware can develop tiny cracks which encourgae the sticking and burning of food.
Maybe you should contact Le Creuset and make a case for the pot to be replaced.
