Water boils at 212 deg F at standard atmospheric pressure. Boiling point increases as pressure increases (it also decreases as pressure decreases, which is why cake mixes have different high altitude instructions). As I said above, at 15 psi ABOVE atmospheric (which is what you have with a 15 psi pressure cap), the boiling point rises to around 250 deg F. Better check with Bill Nye again.
