enamel changes your care regime from "cast iron" to "normal pot/coated cookware". Aka, you can now let sit in water to soak, cook acidic foods, etc, but you should no longer use metal utensils that can chip or scratch the enamel.
And like any other coated cookware, unless you're godly careful, it will eventually look like shit as chips and scratches eventually fuck it up.

i'm going to test out a few rice cookers, i already have 3
a basic one
it's "acceptable" in that rice won't stick to the bowl
an old zojirushi, i'd say it's 30yrs old
my sister gave me hers when i moved out 20yrs ago, this is my standard to rate rice.
i've heard this basic tiger will equal that
Tiger Corporation JBV-A10U-W 5.5-Cup Micom Rice Cooker with Food Steamer and Slow Cooker, White it's an affordable "micom"
ok micom is tiger and zojirushis way of saying computer microchip. If this tiger is even close to how good my old zojirushi is, then i'll go buy this
Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 5-1/2-Cup (Uncooked) Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker and Warmer, Premium White, 1.0-Liter for 170 it's their basic model that i find that is "made in japan", i've seen cheaper, but those are made in china, so who knows.
here's the reason why, cuz i just got the
Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker and Warmer
it says it does rice... so i'm gonna put it all to the test
fyi, it's gonna be short grain rice, i might test jasmine too

Nobebird Meat Thermometer Bluetooth, BBQ Thermometer Smart Cooking Bluetooth Thermometer with 6 Probes for Smoker Grilling Oven Kitchen, Support iOS & Android, FDA approved (Carrying Case Included)
6 probes and it talks to your phone, note bluetooth, so range might be an issue, there are wifi models i think they cost 2x or 3x more

what brand?
so far new tiger is good, as good as the old tried and tested zojirushi?... depends
zojirushi_old is squishier, more steam, tiger has a teeny tiny bit of bite

Hamilton Beach, it sucks. I never experimented enough with it, rice would be super sticky and just over.

Why? I've had a Panasonic roz cooker for 12 years. Works perfectly fine.
I have a similar model (NH-VBC18) that I got as a wedding gift 12 years ago. Short/long grain, white/brown, never had anything but perfect rice. We tend to use the "sushi" setting for medium grain white rice and it comes out at a consistency we like. Wife's family is Chinese rice snobs and it seems to meet all their demands.
