Heats your food

A cooker is an appliance for cooking food, particularly in British English where it refers to what Americans call a stove or range: a gas cooker, an electric cooker.

In American usage, cooker typically appears in compounds: pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker.

Something described as a cooker can also be intensely hot: Today's going to be a cooker.
