When you cook pulses at mountain it will take more time or less than at sea level?

on mountains the atmospheric temprature decreases and hence the boiling point of water decreases . so we have to cook pulses on mountains in pressure cookers and not in ordinary vessels. therefore, it will more time


Is cooking time affected with atmospheric pressure?

Yes, cooking time is affected by atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, where atmospheric pressure is lower, water boils at a lower temperature, which can result in longer cooking times for certain foods. Conversely, at lower altitudes, food may cook faster due to higher boiling temperatures. Adjustments in cooking methods or times may be necessary based on the altitude and corresponding atmospheric pressure.


The highest temperature reached inside the pressure cooker will depend upon the?

The highest temperature reached inside a pressure cooker will depend on the pressure level set for cooking. As pressure builds up, the boiling point of water increases, allowing food to cook at higher temperatures than under normal atmospheric conditions.


What are some of the examples of atmospheric pressure?

It keeps blood from boiling, and eyes from exploding. It keeps the oceans, lakes and rivers from vaporizing. It's what makes a barometer work. It's what keeps Earth's atmosphere from escaping into space. It allows us to cook in simple pots and pans. It allows us to live. It keeps cells from exploding.


How long do you cook a whole turkey in a pressure cooker?

For a whole Turkey (10-12 lbs) you can brown it first, make sure it's on a trivet with 2 cups of water, for 40 minutes. Release pressure using the natural release method. For a larger turkey, a 20 lbs. for example, pressure cook for 1 1/2 hours. Keep the pressure at 15psi. More time charts at: http://missvickie.com/howto/times/timingframe.html Enjoy!

Why pressure cooker doesn't work in Hill Station?

A pressure cooker relies on high atmospheric pressure to increase the boiling point of water, which allows food to cook faster. In hill stations, the altitude is higher, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure. This means that water boils at a lower temperature, making it difficult for the pressure cooker to reach the necessary pressure for efficient cooking. Consequently, food may take longer to cook or not cook properly at high altitudes.


The instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 11.4 psi You know that standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7psi so the booklet must mean 11.4 psi above?

Yes, that's correct. Pressure cookers work by increasing the pressure above atmospheric pressure to cook food faster. In this case, the pressure cooker can increase the pressure inside to 11.4 psi above the standard atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psi.


How does altitude effect boiling points?

The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point. Boiling occurs when the atmospheric pressure equals the vapor pressure. So, at higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the vapor pressure is also lower which in turn creates a lower boiling point which causes foods to have to cook longer.


Is cooking time affected with atmospheric pressure?

Yes, cooking time is affected by atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, where atmospheric pressure is lower, water boils at a lower temperature, which can result in longer cooking times for certain foods. Conversely, at lower altitudes, food may cook faster due to higher boiling temperatures. Adjustments in cooking methods or times may be necessary based on the altitude and corresponding atmospheric pressure.


Why can't you cook in open vessels at hills?

At sea level normal atmospheric pressure is about 14psi (1.o3 kg/sqcm) and water boils at approximately at 100 degrees centigrade ,hence normal cooking of dhals(pulses) can be done easily. But as you go high over the mountains, the atmoshperic pressure comes down and water boils at a lower temperature. Hence while cooking in open vessels on hills/mountains due to the low atmospheric pressure and resulting low boiling point cooking will be difficult. So we should use pressure cooker or vessel with a lid (pressure inside will increase and results in increase of boiling point)


Why you add salt to cook pulses?

There is the opinion that cooking would be faster; I did not notice this effect.


What effect has the reduction of atmospheric pressure have on boling point of a liquid?

A reduction in atmospheric pressure decreases the boiling point of a liquid. This occurs because lower pressure means less resistance for molecules to escape the liquid phase and enter the gas phase, requiring less energy to reach the boiling point.

Can you pressure cook a pint jar in a pressure cooker?

Yes you can pressure cook a pint jar in a pressure cooker.


Does it take longer to cook spagehtti at sea level or on a mountain?

The boiling temperature of water is dependent on the surrounding pressure. And air pressure decreases as you get higher up. As pressure decreases, so does the boiling point. This means that the water will start to boil faster on the mountain, but it will boil at a lower temperature. At a lower temperature, food takes longer to cook.


Why can't you cook rice on a high mountain?

You can, but you'd have to use a pressure cooker. The boiling point of water is linked to the air pressure, and the air pressure will drop as you get higher up. When you're really high water will begin to boil way before its warm enough to cook things properly.
