Q. Why is it easier to cook in a pressure cooker?
Answer: Boiling point of water is raised
Notes: When heat is supplied to the pressure cooker, after boiling point of liquid, pressure rises tremendously which raises boiling point temperature. This is due to steam trapped within the system and unable to escape from it. Hence pressure rises above atmospheric pressure.
