At higher elevations, air pressure is less. When air pressure is less, water boils at a lower temperature. That means food does not get as hot, so it takes longer to cook. Water at sea level boils at 212 degrees F. At my home in Colorado (7000 feet above sea level) water boils at 199 degrees F. At the top of Mt. Everest (29,029 ft) water would boil at 161 degrees F.

How does amount affect the rate of cooking?
Generally the higher the amount then the longer it will take to cook.
If cooking more than one chicken at a time take longer than just cooking one?
Yes, It does take longer to cook more than one chicken because you have more things to heat up in the oven there for it takes longer.
What factors affect the time required for cooking legumes?
Older legumes take longer to cook, and may not get tender at all if they are too old. Larger legumes take longer to cook than smaller ones. The longer legumes soak before they are cooked, the shorter the cooking time. Also, cooking legumes in a pressure cooker reduces cooking time.
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 does it take food longer to cook at higher elevations?
At higher elevations the boiling point is lower.
Why does water take longer to melt than tomato sauce?
Because when you are cooking sauce it's thicker then water so it takes longer to heat.
If the bungee cord gets longer what force will make you bounce higher and why will you bounce higher?
gravity will make you bounce higher because as cord gets longer the more force it will take to move it.
When do laws no longer take affect?
Laws are no longer effective when they have been repealed or determined to be unconstitutional by a higher court with that authority.
How can you use the effects of the salt in the temperature of the boiling water when you cooking?
Adding salt to water increases the boiling temperature of the water. Therefore a pot of salted water will take longer to reach its boil than the same size pot of plain water. So why do we do it? Because the higher boiling point means an increase in the temperature of the water which increases cooking temperature and thereby decreases cooking time.
What is the Usda roasting timetable for frozen turkey?
Cooking a turkey from frozen will take 50% longer. See Related Links for the USDA cooking timetable. It also includes a thawing timetable.
