Answer» Water boils at a higher temperature under pressure. FOOD is cooked more quickly in a pressure cooker because at the higher pressure (1 bar/15 PSI), the boiling point of water rises from 100°C (212°F) to 121°C (250°F). The hotter steam is ABLE to transmit its thermal energy to the food at around 4 times the rate of CONVENTIONAL boiling. |
