True.





The boiling temperature depends on the ambient pressure, and goes up with increased pressure. The reverse is true, and in high-altitude cities like Denver, boiling water may not get hot enough to cook some items. In fact, that was the original intent of the pressure cooker--to overcome low boiling temperatures in some high-altitude areas.Spaghetti cooks more quickly in a pressure cooker because the boiling point of water increases.

True.


Pressure cookers delay water boiling until a higher temperature than 212 F (100C) is reached. Higher temps mean faster cooking.
Any food, not just spaghetti.
