Question

why is it advisable to use pressure cooker at higher altitudes?

Answer 1

bcz at high altitude the atm is low so boiling pt of the substance arise quickly and food does not cook properly...

Answer 2

${\huge {\underline {\mathfrak {\orange {Answer}}}}}$

It is advisable to use pressure cooker at higher altitudes for cooking food because:

• A liquid boils only when its vapour pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure.  
• At high altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is very low.  
• This causes the water to boil at a lower temperature which will take a lot of time for food to be cooked.
•  A pressure cooker stops the boiling of water at lower temperature.

As a result, food cooks quickly.
