Pressure cooking is a method of cooking in a sealed vessel that does not permit air or liquids to escape below a preset pressure.

Because water's boiling point increases as the pressure increases, the pressure built up inside the cooker allows the liquid in a pot to rise to a higher temperature before boiling.

The food to be made is placed in a pressure cooker, along with some amount of water. The vessel is then sealed and placed on a heat source. When the water reaches the boiling point at atmospheric pressure it begins to boil, but since the produced steam cannot escape the pressure rises, consequently raising the internal boiling point.Since pressure cooking depends upon on the production of steam, the process cannot easily be used for methods of cooking that produce fairly little steam, such as roasting, pan-frying or deep-frying.

The pressure cooker presents several advantages. Foods are cooked much faster than other methods (except the microwave), so dishes can be ready sooner.Also less energy is required than when boiling, steaming or oven-cooking.

A pressure cooker is more hygienic compared to open cooking in a pot or utensil.The kitchen is kept cleaner because compared to traditional, open boiling, almost no steam and oils escape to the atmosphere.Also the food is cooked above the boiling point of water, kiling more germs.

Pressure cookers can be used to prepare a wide variety of different recipes, covering most cooking styles and food.
