Rice cookers
Stovetop rice cookers in ceramic and enamel-coated cast iron, with the cooking surface clearly identified.
A solid ceramic pot is different from a metal bowl with a ceramic coating. These selections make that distinction clear and describe the lids and other cooking components, so you can choose by the surfaces that touch your rice rather than the finish on the outside.
