HIGH ALTITUDE BOILING

High altitude cooking can be very entertaining if you have recently moved into a high altitude area or you are unfamiliar with cooking at high altitudes. For the purpose of these hints, high altitude is considered anything over 1,000 feet above sea level. Although there is no magic equation these tips might help you out if you are unable to get good results from your recipes.

If you are trying to boil you will need to increase your cooking time and liquid while you lower the temperature just a bit.

The water will evaporate faster at the higher altitude even though it will boil at a lower temperature, so keep a close eye on it to make sure that you don’t boil dry.
