If you live at sea level will you get any benefits from using a pressure cooker?

>> No.5780333

Yes, you'll get reduced cooking times.

yes, and you can put unopened cans of things like condensed milk, beans etc. (as long as they aren't the ringpull type) and heat them up as hot as you can get the water without them exploding because of the pressure being contained.

Holy shit seriously?
I was about to throw a can of sweet and condensed milk in it to make some dulce de leche.

Yes seriously don't do that.

Don't listen to this guy, he only wants to hurt your tastebuds. Make some dulce de leche two ways and see which is better.

The only way it can explode is if you somehow open the pressure cooker while its at 200 centigrade, if that happens the boiling water/superheated steam will be a bigger problem.
I have done it several times.

Condensed milk cans don't normally explode when you boil it in a saucepan tho

What would being at sea level have to do with it?

>> No.5780835

>>5780817
Air pressure. When you change altitude, the rules of cooking can change too.

I meant why would a device designed to cook at well above ambient pressure at sea level perform significantly differently at sea level.

One anon tried it and feel asleep. It exploded and broke his stove and the can shot up and put a hole in the ceiling.

Was that with a pressure cooker? Besides I remember him saying that whatever it was was left long enough to boil dry.

> high altitude cooking
That shit sounds so extreme.

i've always been too terrified to try this even though logically it should actually be safer than doing it in a regular pot.

Perhaps if you did it over an outside fire and then stood a few hundred yards away from it.
