Today I learned that Barilla created Spotify playlists that are the length of time needed to cook pasta to al dente (open.spotify.com)

Drop the pasta, start the playlist, when the music is over, you’ve got perfectly cooked pasta

Elevation decreases atmospheric pressure, and the difference is pretty small in the ranges that people actually live.

A pressure cooker increases pressure by about 15 psi above atmospheric pressure which is pretty huge, nobody lives 5km below sea level (although it's more complicated than this).

So yes, pressure cookers do cook things faster, but the pressure difference altitude makes is basically irrelevant

That's not entirely true actually. At 1.5km (≈5000ft) altitude it's roughly a 5°C (≈9°F) difference which might not sound a lot but depending on the dish that can double the cooking time. 1.5km is a relatively high altitude of course but not unheard of for villages, smaller cities and also Denver.

The example I usually use is Mexico City with 20 million people at above 2'000 m elevation. Water boils at as low as 90 °C there.
