More detailed info: What is a cooker?
A cooker is the container used for mixing and heating a drug. Some drugs are sold as powder, crystals (rocks), or tablets. To be injected, they should be fully dissolved in sterile water and cooking the drug facilitates this process. People often use non-sterile cookers such as spoons, bottle caps, the bottom of drink cans, or syringe barrels.
