TIP
The atmospheric pressure in our living space is 1 barometer
and it does not exceed 100°C when water is boiled since steam
escapes outside when the steam lifts the lid. However, the boiling
point rises to 120°C when the atmospheric pressure increases
to 2 barometer by tightly containing steam in a pressure cooker
and this is the principle of pressure cooking. Pressure cooking
cooks in high temperature, high pressure within a short time thus
displays good flavor and preserves nutrients and can efficiently
cook brown rice, boiled rice with cereals and steamed dishes and
it reduces time and fuel for cooking.
