To comment on the quality of the water being improved.

And unlike lesser rice cookers, the selling point of my newest Zojirushi model is that it comes with an iron coated pot.

 

But is the purpose of that iron coating to improve the texture and flavour of the rice or to maximize the efficiency of the induction heating element?

From the Zojirushi website (May not refer to you exact model):

“Iron Coated & Platinum Infused Nonstick Cooking Pan

2.2mm thick inner pan is made of highly conductive aluminum and durable stainless steel clad.

Iron coating on the exterior aids IH by generating and storing heat more efficiently for even cooking.

Platinum-infused nonstick coating on the interior changes water quality for sweeter tasting rice.”

(Not quite sure how you can change the quality of water.)
