Explain briefly why at high altitudes a pressure cooker is used to cook food

Answers

Answered by Vishwaabhi

Answer:

Pressure drops at high altitude hence boiling point

Explanation:

A pressure cooker can be used to compensate for lower atmospheric pressure at high elevations. The boiling point of water drops by approximately 1°C per every 294 metres of altitude, causing the boiling point of water to be significantly below the 100 °C (212 °F) at standard pressure.
