Force chef in stressful situation (8,6)

I believe the answer is:

pressure cooker

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

'stressful situation' is the definition.
(pressure cooker can mean a high-pressure situation)

'force chef in' is the wordplay.
'force' becomes 'pressure' (pressure is a kind of force).
'chef in' becomes 'cooker' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'pressure'+'cooker'='PRESSURE COOKER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pressure cooker that I've seen before include "thing for doing dishes quickly" , "for use in the kitchen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
