Because it is grammatically incorrect. English is a complex language and is not always logical. Rules that may apply to certain kinds of words, may not apply to other words of the very same type (i.e. dance equals dancer, but cook does not equal cooker). The proper term for someone who cooks is cook or chef, depending on their level of expertise.
That's probably not extremely intelligent, but it's the best I can do right now. Hope it helped.

I will start today calling a cook a cooker too.
A person who was not intelligent or incoherent at the time decided not to use cooker.

Well according to english language a cooker is a device in which pressure can be increased from the original atmospheric pressure to increase water boiling point so as to make cooking easy.
The person who makes food is a chef

I'm sure it falls into the "deer" category . It is just one of those words that stays the same. Nice logic thou. Would it make you happier if people called cooks, cooker instead? Have a nice day!

well the person who is doin the work is actually not cooking. the cooker is the device thats actually cooking. hence the rightful is called a cooker.

We don't call a person who prepares food a "cooker". We call them a cook, or better yet, a chef. Nice English skills there, Skippy.
