why presure cooker is best for boil potatoes
Answers
Answer:
because it takes less time to boil the potatoes
EXPLANATION:
Firstly, you aren't boiling the potatoes..
What you are doing is cooking the potatoes by heated water (which reaches its boiling point).
The point is that potatoes are cooked by heated water when immersed in it. The potatoes are soaked and the water and it's warmth swells up the potatoes and cooks it.
1)The cooking is directly proportional to the
2)The time the potatoes are heated
with the temperature of the water
In a pressure cooker, there is no outlet for the steam and hence there is increased pressure inside the pressure cooker as more steam is formed and due to increase in pressure the boiling point of water increases as well.
Thus, for the same heat provided by the flame, the water reaches a higher temperature in a pressure cooker and cooks the potatoes, unlike in a normal boiler where the same heat provided by the flame will be used by water to get converted into steam (latent heat) rather than causing an increase in temperature.
