HOW DOES A PRESSURE COOKER WORK?

Ancella Martin · Accepted Answer

Pressure cookers work on the principle that as the
pressure increases, boiling point of water increases and
the steam is produced from water The pressure cookers are
designed in such a way it controls the escape of steam When the
steam is not allowed to escape, it builds up more pressure which
allows the water in the cooker to start boiling with increase in
temperature Thus higher the temperature of water makes cooking
faster And the steam covering the entire cooker completely helps to
heat and cook food evenly and quickly
We see from the above that the steam is formed at faster rate
because the boiling point is directly proportional to pressure, i e
if the pressure increases boiling point also increases
