Does adding salt decrease the time it takes to boil water?
When you add salt to water that is going to be boiled it actually takes a bit longer to boil. The reason for this is Boiling Point Elevation. When you add salt it actually creates a barrier for the gas molecules or vapor molecules to escape the top of the water. The extra heat needed gets the water molecules moving fast enough that they can reach a speed at which they can escape as steam when the water boils. You many cook the food faster after the water boils because it is at a higher temperature.
What is the nearest city near mt redoubt?
None. The closest across Cook Inlet on the Kenai Peninsula, about a 45 minute prop flight. Port Alford is one the same side of Cook Inlet as Mt. Redoubt is, but that is also deep on the other side of Lake Clark.
Why do foods require longer microwave cooking time at higher atitudes?
The boiling point of water goes down at higher altitudes, and so foods take longer to cook (because the temperature of the food doesn't usually exceed the boiling point of water).See the Related Questions about how elevation effects the boiling point of water.
What country controls the Cook Islands?
New Zealand governs the Cook Islands.
What takes longer to cook pasta or peas?
Pasta
Why does it take so much longer to boil an egg in Denver than in San Francisco?
The boiling temperature of water varies with the air pressure. At sea level, the boiling temperature is 212 degrees F, or 100 degrees C. Denver is above 5000 feet elevation, and the air pressure is somewhat less. In Denver, then, the boiling temperature is 203 degrees F, or 95 degrees C, about 5% lower than at sea level. "Cooking" takes place at elevated temperatures; the higher the temperature, the faster it cooks. At an average room temperature of about 80F or 30C, things don't cook at all. At 160F or 70C, things cook very slowly.

How do you cook beans before soaking them?

Why do you have to cook things longer in Denver?
Denver is so high up that water boils at a lesser temperature than, say, low down along the ocean. Since there is less heat in Denver boiling water, things have to be cooked longer. (Once water boils, it cannot get any hotter, unless you put it under pressure, as done with a pressure canner, for example)
What happens if turkey is not put in preheated oven?

It is probable only an illusion; the variation of the boiling point is minimal.
What is the difference between long grain and converted rice?
long grain rice takes longer to cook than converted rice
What effect has the reduction of atmospheric pressure have on boling point of a liquid?
Common understanding of the pressure changing effects on the boiling point of liquids is expansion due to vaporization. The absolute effect of the boiling point of liquid is that during the pressure being applied the boiling temperature increases.
How long do you cook a live lobster in boiling water?
You do not need to boil it for long. The longer it boils the tougher it gets. You need only boil the lobster for a few minutes. When the color is bright red. No longer than 5 minutes for 1 lobster.
