Sep 25, 2015 at 10:09 comment added user7951 @JasmineLognnes Normal ambient or atmospheric air pressure is 1 bar. The value 0.8 bar given for your cooker is the excess pressure (so-called gauge pressure) above ambient pressure. Thus, the total or absolute pressure is 1 bar + 0.8 bar = 1.8 bar.
Sep 25, 2015 at 8:23 comment added Jasmine Lognnes 1.8 in the equation should be 0.8. Apart from that, it can it really be correct that I can get it to boil with less than 1mL of water? I would expect the right answer to be around 1dL.
