Why is a pressure cooker even more useful when cooking food in the mountains than when cooking at sea level?
To Explain: The pressure cooker is useful on mountains than at sea level.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
As one goes up the hill or mountains, the atmospheric pressure decreases and so, the boiling point also decreases.
There will be less heat required in cooking at mountains but the food would not be properly cooked. Pressure cooker is required because inside the cooker, the pressure would increase which would increase the boiling point and hence, enough heat would be there for proper cooking.
Conclusion:
The pressure cooker is useful on mountains than at sea level.
