A liquid boils when its vapour pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.
At higher altitude atmospheric pressure is lower than near the sea.
This causes the water to boil at a lower temperature (below 100), Due to this it takes longer time for food to be cooked.
A pressure cooker prevents boiling of water at lower temperature and leads to quicker cooking of the food.

at higher altitudes atmospheric pressure is low and water boils very fast and evaporates fastly that increases the pressure of cooking process that is done via pressure cooker.
