it doesnt it just boils it faster.

In a pressure cooker water boils at a temperature?
Yes it does.
At what degrees the water boils in a pressure cooker?
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.
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.
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
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.
Why does the water in the pressure cooker boils even if the flame is put off?
The temperature remains high for a while.
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.
Is the temperature at which water boils at the seashore is less or greater than that at a Himalayan peak?
The temperature at witch water boils at the sea shore is 100 degree centigrade and Himalayan peak is is about 70 degree centigrade. ( In pressure cooker at about 120 degree centigrade. )
What is the advantage of a pressure cooker in the term of physics?
In pressure cooker temperature rises to about 120 degree centigrade due to higher pressure than atmospheric pressure. Witch makes it makes food to get cooked faster than in open pot where water boils at 100 degree centigrade. Pressure cooker becomes essential at high altitude where water may boil at about 70 degree centigrade.
Why the boiling point of water is sometimes more than 100?
The boiling temperature of water is 100° C when the air pressure on the surface of the water is equal to standard sea-level atmospheric pressure. When the pressure is less, water boils at a lower temperature. (Cooking times for some recipes are longer in Denver, because at high altitude, the cooking liquid never gets to 100° C before it boils.) When the pressure is more, water boils at a higher temperature. (That's the reason behind the pressure cooker ... pressure inside the sealed vessel is higher, so the cooking liquid can be heated to more than 100° C without boiling, which decreases the cooking time.)
What happens to the boiling point when pressure increases in cooker?
It's higher-this is how a radiator works in a car. Since system pressurized boiling point above 212. Some cars fans don't even come on until they hit 220.
How does pressure affect the temperature at which water boils?
There is a direct relationship between the temperature at which water boils and the air pressure on it. Higher pressure, higher boiling point. Lower pressure, lower boiling point.
