Question

Food is cooked quickly in a pressure cooker. Explain.

Answer 1

• Food is cooked faster or quickly in a pressure cooker because hot air i.e., steam is trapped inside the pressure cooker which fastens the cooking process.
• The steam trapped inside the pressure cooker increases the atmospheric pressure.
• At this pressure, the boiling point of water increases.
• the Higher boiling point of water, allow to cook food at higher temperatures without burning it.
