Can you cook food for others if you have scabies?

It is not recommended to cook for others if you have scabies, as scabies is a highly contagious skin condition. It is best to avoid cooking for others until you have received treatment and are no longer contagious.


Why more time is required to boil pasta in denverand Colorado than in new Orleans and Louisiana?

The boiling point of any substance, including water, is dependent on two things, the temperature and the pressure. Water will boil if the temperature is high enough, or if the pressure is low enough. Colorado is at a higher altitude than Louisiana, so there is less air pressure in Colorado. The lower pressure in Colorado means that not as high of a temperature is required to bring water to a boil than in Louisiana. (New Orleans is in Louisiana, so they can be treated as the same place in this case). The result is that boiling point of water in Louisiana is about 212 degrees Fahrenheit, while it is about 202 degrees Fahrenheit in Colorado. Notice that the water in Colorado is boiling at a lower temperature. More time is require to cook it because the water that it is being cooked in is not as hot as the boiling water in Louisiana.


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.


Why would it be difficult to cook an egg to a hardboiled stage at the top of a mountain?

It would be difficult to cook an egg to a hardboiled stage at the top of a mountain because water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes due to the lower air pressure. This means it would take longer to heat the water to a high enough temperature to cook the egg thoroughly.


When you cook pulses at mountain it will take more time or less than at sea level?

on mountains the atmospheric temprature decreases and hence the boiling point of water decreases . so we have to cook pulses on mountains in pressure cookers and not in ordinary vessels. therefore, it will more time

Why does it take more time to boil pasta in Denver than in New Orleans?

This is because the water is hotter in New Orleans than in Denver.ans2. The Q should have concerned the cookingtime, not the boiling time. Because of the higher altitude, the water will boil sooner at Denver than at New Orleans, but at a lower temperature.

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?

Traditionally beans are soaked to lessen the amount of time it takes to cook them. Unsoaked beans merely have to be cooked longer to desired tenderness (usually an hour longer).


How long do you cook penne rigate pasta?

At my family we love pasta normally the sauce takes longer to cook it all depends on what temperature you cook it at, how big your stove is and how much water you put in to boil the pasta.


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)

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.
