Hello cmueller
"If it calls for 90 minutes in a pressure cooker."
At what pressure ? There are different pressures, depending on the weight on the release hole.
"How long in a water bath?"
At what temperature? What product? And what about all the waste of nutrients in that water bath?
Roughly you can say that in a pressure cooker it takes half the time of normal cooking, but there are a lot of influences that can change that !
Use the times per average product as per the following list, and relate that to standard cooking times!!
