I believe the answer is:

coven

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'women' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Charming women' mean 'coven' so perhaps 'women' could also mean 'coven')

'cold cooker' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'cooker' becomes 'oven' (synonyms).
'c'+'oven'='COVEN'

'capable of charming results from a' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coven that I've seen before include "collection of bewitching women" , "Gathering of witches" , "Group of witches" , "Company of witches" , "Charming women" .)
