Pressure cookers produce superheated water, which cooks the food more rapidly than boiling water. Superheated water is liquid water under pressure at temperatures between the usual boiling point, 100 °C (212 °F) and the critical temperature, 374 °C (705 °F). [citation needed] It is also known as "subcritical water" or "pressurized hot water".
