A female ruler would be known as a Tsaritsa/Czaritsa, but in English the title is more commonly translated as Tsarina/Czarina. In Russia at least this title would be given to either a female ruler in her own right, or the wife of a Tsar.

If you mean what instruments do Russians use, then Russians tend to use wooden materials to cook with, like a ladle to plate food or a spoon to stir soup. You will often find Russians cooking on gas stoves. Most of a Russian's selection of cookware is pots and pans. There are not many skillets involved in Russian cooking.
If you mean techniques and ingredients, Russians tend to make a lot of soups and they also use the boiling method to cook many things. Russians often use chicken or beef stock when making soups. Russians also work with a lot of dough, fruits, and many times, dairy products.

How do you say king in Russian?
tsar or czar
Like "Kaiser" in German, the Russian "Tsar" or "Czar" is derived from CAESAR, meaning Emperor. After Octavian Caesar became Caesar Augustus, all the Roman Emperors were known as Caesar, and it became synonymous with Emperor. This I found, as well as the Russian word for King being "Korol' ", in a Wikipedia article about the word Tsar. It's quite comprehensive.
