An electric cooker is a kitchen appliance that uses electricity to heat and cook food, available as versatile multi-purpose pots, specific rice or slow cookers, or built-in units with hobs and ovens. Key features include adjustable temperature controls, non-stick surfaces for easy cleaning, and safety features like auto shut-off. Electric cookers offer a consistent and even heat, are generally safer than gas models, and provide convenient, space-saving solutions for various cooking tasks, from steaming and frying to baking and stewing.
