It may be better to tenderize meat in a pressure cooker than in an ordinary cooking pot because cooker is tightly sealded so that no water or steam can escape. The high pressure in the cooker will cause the temperature to rise breaking down the meat's connective tissue and tenderizing the meat in a shorter amount of time.
