Water normally boils at 100 °C. High elevation cooking generally takes longer. In Denver, water boils at approximately 95 °C. Boiling point of a liquid lowered in Denver.

The boiling point of a liquid decreases as altitude increases. At an altitude of 5000ft (Denver is around 5280ft above sea level), the boiling point of a liquid would be lower compared to at sea level. This is because lower air pressure at higher altitudes reduces the pressure pushing down on the liquid, causing it to boil at a lower temperature.

There is less pressure at higher altitudes, so water will boil at a lower temperature.

The boiling point of liquids is lower at high altitudes because the pressure is lower.
