Reply to comment by Due-Software-5357 in If the inner core is the hottest part of the Earth, hotter than the liquid outer core, then why is it a solid? by Paradigm7657

That’s something interesting I’ve never really thought about. A good example though as the polar is water will boil off in space with much lower temperatures, similar to how a pressure cooker reduces waters boiling point.

Incorrect, a pressure cooker increases the boiling point, allowing the water to reach higher temperatures, and thus cook food more quickly.
