pressure cooking
High-temperature sealed preparation
Pressure cooking is a method of cooking food in a sealed vessel that traps steam to raise internal pressure and temperature, dramatically reducing cooking time.
Tough cuts of meat become tender in a fraction of the usual time: I pressure-cooked the brisket in forty minutes.
The technique also refers to working under intense time constraints: We've been pressure cooking to meet the deadline.
