In a pressure cooker, the temperature at which the food is cooked depends mainly upon which of the following?
1. Area of the hole in the lid
2. Temperature of the flame
3. Weight of the lid
Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Correct Option: 1 and 3 only

In a pressure cooker, the boiling point of water increases because the pressure inside increases. The pressure inside depends on the weight of the lid (or the vent weight/jiggler) and the area of the hole in the lid through which steam escapes. The temperature of the flame only determines how fast the water reaches the boiling point, not the cooking temperature inside. Therefore, statements 1 and 3 are correct.
