Above 100 deg C The extent to which the temperature is higher than 100 deg C depends on the pressure inside the cooker and that is controlled by the weights on the cooker valve.

In a pressure cooker water boils at a temperature?
Yes it does.
How do pressure cookers work and are they really much quicker?
Pressure cookers work because when you increase pressure, water boils at a higher temperature. Water normally boils at 212 degrees F. Under 15psi of pressure (standard in a pressure cooker), it boils at 257 degrees F. Since your food is cooking at a higher temperature, it will cook faster.
How can you change the boiling point of liquid?
you can adjust the pressure. for example water boils at a higher temperature in a pressure cooker.
How does a pressure cooker demonstrate the effect of air pressure on waters boiling point?
Vapour rom the boiling water is not allowed to escape and so the pressure above the water increases. This raises the temperature at which the water inside the cooker boils.
The temperature in which water boils inside a pressure cooker is lower than in an open pan at sea level?
it doesnt it just boils it faster.
What is you boil at different degrees?
Do you mean how can you boil at different temperatures? You can add lots of salt to the boiling water to raise the temperature. This isn't very effective. The best method is to pressurize the pot (pressure cooker) this will raise the temperature quite a bit, up to 250 degrees at the highest pressure allowed by a pressure cooker. Do you mean what are the different temperature scales and boiling points? water boils at 212 degrees F or 100 degrees C
Why does the water in the pressure cooker boils even if the flame is put off?
The temperature remains high for a while.
What substances boils at 100 degrease?
Pure water boils at 100 degrees at atmospheric pressure.
What is the principle involved in pressure cooker?
At higher pressures, water boils at a higher temperature. A pressure cooker lets you cook at a higher pressure than regular saucepans so you can have a higher boiling temperature
Why will water at the bottom of a geyser not boil when it as at 100?
Water only boils at 100 degrees ( in C ) when the pressure on it is standard atmospheric pressure. In Denver, it boils at a lower temperature, and in a pressure cooker, it can get a lot hotter than that and still not boil. At the bottom of a geyser, the pressure is more than atmospheric pressure because of all the water laying on top of the lowest layer, so it can go higher than 100 without boiling.
Can 1200W hot plate boil water?
Only if the water is under pressure; that is, at a higher pressure than Earth's atmospheric pressure. This is because 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point of water (at Earth's standard atmospheric pressure), where any additional heat energy will simply cause the water to vaporize. Under higher pressures, however, the water can be kept liquid to higher temperatures. (The calculation of such pressure is left as an exercise for the student!)
Why does water in a radiator not boil until 110 degrees is reached?
Water boils at 100 degrees C. Using a radiator cap, the system holds pressure, raising the boiling point (Just like your grandmother's pressure cooker). Using the correct coolant mix of water and antfreeze also raises the boiling point.
