a pot with a lid which may be tightly bound to the bottom part, forming a vessel which can withstand some gas pressure from within. It is used to heat foods in water or steam to a temperature somewhat above the boiling point of water, allowing the cooking process to be accomplished more quickly than otherwise.
A stove pot hermetically sealed, in which steam pressure builds up so that foods cook quickly at temperatures above boiling point.

A cooking pot made to cook food under pressure. The pressure cooker has a locking lid and a valve system to regulate the internal pressure. Cooking time may be reduced by as much as 50% without destroying the nutritional value of the food. Recipe: Pressure Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
A pressurized cooking pot in which food is cooked at temperatures above the boiling point by steam maintained under pressure. Since the food is cooked at a very high temperature, its cooking time is reduced by as much as two-thirds, without destroying its nutritional value. This reinforced metal pot has a locking airtight lid, a valve system to regulate internal pressure and a safety valve, which will automatically vent the steam should there be a malfunction.
A type of pot that creates pressurized steam inside for cooking foods faster at higher temperatures. A traditional pressure cooker consists of a steel pot with an aluminum base, a locking lid with an airtight seal, and a removable safety valve or built-in pressure indicator. Many pressure cookers also have a metal cooking rack inside to keep food from resting directly on the bottom of the pot. Pressure cookers allow some foods to be cooked in up to 1/3 of the time of conventional cooking methods. Foods also tend to be more tender and retain more of their natural nutrients and flavors. Also, the super-heated steam eliminates many potential bacterial dangers. For these reasons, pressure cookers are often used for canning meats and vegetables that must be super-heated and sealed in air-tight containers.
A pot with a tight lid in which things can be cooked quickly with steam under higher pressure. The reason for it is that at 15 PSI (pound per square inch) pressure the water boils at a higher temperature (250°F, 121°C) than at ambient pressure.(212°F, 100°C). In mushroom cultivation used to sterilize substrates and Agar media.
Pressure Cooker was a wild game show about food hosted by Chris Durham that aired on the Food Network in 1998.
Pressure Cooker is a band that was formed in 1997 out of the very active Boston ska scene. Pressure Cooker mixes ska, rocksteady, and reggae with elements of jazz, calypso, and latin music creating a unique sound while still maintaining the traditional Jamaican styles.
Pressure Cooker is an Atari 2600 video game released by Activision in 1983. It has arcade-style gameplay, in which the player is a short-order cook at a hamburger stand who must assemble and package hamburgers to order without letting ingredients or hamburgers fall to the floor.
