Pressure cooking is done in a specially designed vessel with a locking lid that has a pressure release valve.
They are similar in that steam does the cooking in both methods. The biggest advantage in pressure cooking is time. You can cook things very quickly, especially items that usually require very lengthy cooking times (tripe, brisket, etc).
Another plus is that since you need less water as compared to boiling, flavors stay more concentrated as opposed to being "washed out" of your food. Also, some vitamins are water soluble. So, the less water you use, the more of these stay in the food, and consequently, get into you.
