CAUTION Always keep hands and face clear of the pressure release valve when pressure cooking as hot steam and water may be emitted during operation. ALTITUDE ADJUST Pressure builds and increases when the temperature inside the cooking vessel exceeds boiling point. As altitude increases, the temperature at which water boils decreases as a result of the drop in air pressure. This creates very different conditions for cooking when using a pressure cooker.
