Water boils at a higher temperature under pressure.  Food is cooked more quickly in a pressure cooker because at the higher pressure (1 bar/15 psi), the boiling point of water rises from 100ยฐC (212ยฐF) to 121ยฐC (250ยฐF). The hotter steam is able to transmit its thermal energy to the food at around 4 times the rate of conventional boiling.
