How Does A Pressure Cooker Work?

A pressure cooker works on a simple principle of steam pressure in a sealed pot. As the pot heats up, the liquid inside forms steam which builds up pressure in the pot. Pressure cooker raises the boiling point of the water in the pot. When cooking something like a stew or steamed vegetables, the heat of your cooking is limited to the boiling point of water (212°F). But with the steam's pressure the temperature can get as high as 250°F. This higher heat helps the food (dry grain) to cook faster. Steam is much hotter than boiling water, which puts 10-12 pounds on food per square in making it to cook superfast.

The high pressure also helps force liquid and moisture into the food quickly, accelerating the cooking and drastically reducing the conventional cook time. This helps tough meat, gets very tender very quickly. Unlike conventional cooking, the sealed environment of a pressure cooker makes the food deeply flavorful.
