Hi everyone
After I've cooked beans in a pressure cooker, I put the cooker (with beans inside) into a sink full of water to help it cool down. After a while, the water heats up. At this point, would the cooker cool faster if I left it in the sink or if I took it out again?
I'm guessing it would be the latter because the air would be cooler than the water (the water feels lukewarm after it's absorbed heat from the cooker).
Is this correct, or am I looking at things too simply?
I'm just interested in the theory behind it. I pretty much leave the cooker out all day to cool. Either way will probably make little difference. Thanks
