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.

Will a little pot or big pot boil first?
The deeper the water the longer it will take to boil. So if you put a small amount in a big pan it will boil much faster than a small amount in a small pan.
How much salt do you put in to make the water boil faster?
Adding salt to water will make it take longer for the water to boil. You should wait until the water is already boiling to add salt.
Can you boil water with candle?
Certainly. However, the amount would be very small. A tablespoon of water will boil fairly quickly. A big pan would take much longer than the candle would last.

The more water in the kettle, the longer it will take to reach boiling point. This is why it is wasteful in energy to boil a full kettle if you only want to brew a small cup of tea.
