What happens if you boil an egg for 4 minutes at a 6500 ft altitude?

Interesting question. Here is my best guess: An altitude of 6500 feet is around 2 kilometers high. The atmospheric pressure at that altitude is around 800 millibar. According to the '91 CRC Handbook, the boiling point of water at an external pressure of 800 millibar is 93oC. After Surfing some cooking sites for a few minutes I learned a couple things: 1. Hard boil an egg it is best not to boil it... you place them in boiling water but immediately kill the heat. 2. Those that did talk about boiliing the egg in water gave a time of around 3 minutes for soft boiling and 8 minutes for hard boiling. So if you were to boil the egg for 4 minutes at a temperature 7 degrees less than the normal boiling point of water, I would guess you would end up with a soft-boiled egg.

What can be done to raise the boiling point of water?
All you have to do to reduce the boiling point of water is go to a higher altitude and boil it.
How long does it take approximatly for a gas cooker to get to 100 degrees Celsius?
The gas cooker will get to that temperature very quickly. Any liquid you are trying to boil depends on the size of the cooker and its burner size, the amount of liquid you intend to boil and also the altitude that you are at. The higher the altitude, the longer it takes water to boil.
What happens to a rock when you boil it?
it explodes
How do you boil water at a high altitude?
At a high altitude, water reaches its boiling point at a lower temperature because of a lower air pressure holding it in its liquid form.
What degree will water boil at 2192 feet?
At this altitude (2150-2200 ft) water will boil at about 97.8 oC . It also depends on the weather (high/low pressure).This is calculated according to 'Water Altitude Boiling Point Calculator' (Cf. 'Related links' just below this answer. Select on opened site page the 2nd button 'What is the local altitude' in ft. or m.).
How long will it take in minutes for an electric kettle to boil up?
depends on your altitude
Where the rice boil first at shimla or at delhi and why-?
Boiling point changes with altitude because of the atmospheric pressure. Rice will therefore boil first at Delhi because of the low altitude.

Does water boil the same at sea level as it does at higher elevations?
Due to lower atmospheric pressure at altitude, water will boil at lower temperature.
