My $3 thrift store dutch oven fixed my rice problem overnight

I mean, I've been fighting with mushy rice for like 6 months. Tried different pots, rinsing, ratios, everything. Last weekend I found a beat up cast iron dutch oven at the Goodwill in Austin for $3. First try, perfect fluffy rice, no sticking, no burned bottom. The heavy lid just holds steam better than my glass one. Has anyone else had a random cheap find completely change their cooking game? What did you score?

1650 degrees for 45 minutes in that thing and the lid seals like a vault. My $4 garage sale carbon steel wok did the same for stir fry, never looked back.

Ten minutes at 700 in my enameled Dutch oven leaves carbon steel woks tasting like burnt memories, but @gray_morgan, you do you.
