Enameled Cast Iron as a Jambalaya Pot

So ive got a 16 QT, 20 year old cast iron pot, that I have been using for years.
Its a great pot but I hate cleaning the fricker afterwards.
My typical batch in this pot is full to the top.
Do the enameled still burn a little on the bottom? Yea Im aware that temp causes the bottom burn.
Will the enameled pots, hold up and be easier to clean ?
7 cups rice, 5 lbs chicken, 6 lbs sausage, shite pile of onions and bell pepper, a can of jalapeno rotel.

Enameled isn’t going to be easier to clean unless what you hate is drying and oiling the pot.
This might be your solution.

I've had enamel cast iron pots chip on the bottom from high heat.
Supposedly, the enamel can't expand with the cast iron when it gets really hot and it cracks off. Not a big deal if you have the pot on high heat and it's filled as that absorbs the heat. Can be a problem if you're browning the meats regularly in the enamel pot, maybe I guess? I noticed it took a long time for ours to chip but it happened.

Shouldn't stick much if the cast iron is seasoned well and you watch the heat. I use enameled cast iron though, it's easier to clean and don't want to screw up the seasoned coating in the cast iron pot by scraping and scrubbing it too much. Most baws like cast iron pots.

The rotel comments have me laughing. I just cannot understand the reasoning behind rotel. Cooks always say for “flavor”. What flavor? Tomatoes? Chiles? If you want green chile flavor, add a can of chiles. How do tomatoes help the flavor? It blows my mind.
But…if you like it, use it. It’s your jambalaya, not mine. Cook the way you like, but do you like it or do you just think you’re supposed to like it?
As far as the enamel pot, I’ve never used one for jambalaya so I don’t know the answer.
