excess pressure buildup.

Pressure cookers, in general, maintain a gage pressure of 2 atm (or 3 atm absolute)

inside. Therefore, pressure cookers cook at a temperature of about 133°C (or 271°F)

instead of 100°C (or 212°F), cutting the cooking time by as much as 70 percent while

34

minimizing the loss of nutrients. The newer pressure cookers use a spring valve with

several pressure settings rather than a weight on the cover.
