Why does food cook faster in a pressure cooker?
(N/A) The pressure inside the pressure cooker is significantly higher than the atmospheric pressure. This increased pressure raises the boiling point of water above its normal value of $100^{\circ} C$. As a result,the water inside the cooker reaches a higher temperature,which allows the food to cook much faster.
