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

A. 1 and 2 only

B. 2 and 3 only

C. 1 and 3 only

D. 1, 2 and 3

Answer: C

Explanation
The temperature at which food is cooked in a pressure cooker depends mainly upon:

1. Area of the hole in the lid
2. Weight of the lid

These two factors determine the maximum pressure that can build up inside the cooker, which directly sets the boiling point of water and thus the cooking temperature. The temperature of the flame mainly affects how quickly the cooker reaches that temperature, but not the maximum temperature itself.

Correct answer:
1 and 3 only
