Question

Why pressure cookers are used to cook food faster in high altitudes?

Answer 1

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.
