MODERATORS
If you're cooking by electricity, it's all roughly the same. It's all running close to as efficient as it possibly can be. In theory, some kind of heat pump could do better, but that's not really viable for this use case. It's hard to make them both compact and provide enough heat for cooking.
If you're cooking in a pot on a stove, an induction stove top will do better. As far as dedicated rice cookers go, though, they're all the same. Might be more efficient than any stove top because they lose less heat to the surrounding area during use.
