Mountains take longer to cook food primarily due to lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes. This reduced pressure lowers the boiling point of water, meaning it boils at temperatures below 100°C (212°F). Consequently, foods, especially those that rely on boiling or simmering, take longer to cook through thoroughly. Additionally, the cooler temperatures at higher elevations can affect cooking times, requiring adjustments for effective heat transfer and cooking efficiency.
