What are Pressure cooker. it is boiler or not?

Answer:

no, it is not a boiler. pressure cookers are pots that use pressure to cook food. now where there is pressure, there is heat. It's simple science. The heat then cooks the food. happy cooking!!

added answer: pressure does not cause heat. Pressure simply allows the boiling point of the liquid to be higher since boiling point increases with the increase of pressure. A higher boiling point causes faster cooking.
