What is a "cooker"?

A cooker is a kitchen appliance used for cooking food through various methods such as boiling, steaming, simmering, or frying. It typically consists of one or more heating elements, often powered by gas or electricity, and a compartment or surface for placing pots, pans, or other cookware. Cookers come in different types, including stovetop cookers, which are built into kitchen countertops, and standalone models such as ranges, cooktops, and portable hot plates. They may also include additional features like ovens or grills for added versatility. Cookers are essential tools in the kitchen, providing the means to prepare a wide range of dishes and cuisines efficiently and conveniently.
