Hi John,
I want to say, before I start, I'm not licensed to give advice. Some people may find fault with what I say. I welcome them to give better advice based on their experience and training.
A regular rice cooker relies on electricity. The ideal is to cook with a gas stove, but I am stuck with electric range right now. It's totally possible to transition to macro with whatever you've got, in my opinion. Whatever you can afford. I just got a pressure cooker recently, although I've been cooking macrobiotic for about two years. Pot-boiling on an electric range may not be ideal but I can testify, it works OK and you can heal this way too. However I believe there is some evidence linking electric cookstoves to cancer. I'll be happy to go to all gas as soon as I can. It's much more pleasant for cooking too.
