    Why can beans soften faster in this pot?

    Pressure cookers are used in many Indian kitchens to cook foods like beans and lentils. A sealed lid traps steam, raising the pressure so the cooking water can become hotter than in an open pot.

    • The steam removes water from inside the beans.
    • The cooking water reaches a higher temperature.
    • The lid keeps the cooking water below boiling.

    Think about how the extra heat affects cooking time.

    • To provide gentle, even heat

    The water affects the heat around the dish, not the ingredients inside it.
