    So how is that supposed to work? It depends on many factors, mostly elevation

    Mostly irrelevant.

    and pasta thickness

    Which is why they have one playlist per sort.

    This is basically advertising for Barilla.

      Ah yes because we all know a pressure cooker does not cook things faster at all.

        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.
