Since water boils at a lower temperature at higher altitudes, the water also leaves candy at a lower temperature. I live in Denver (5000 ft), so I finish my candy at 10 degrees lower than the recipe requires. My soft caramels call for a temperature of 248F, so I only bring them 238F, and they're perfect. As a rule of thumb, finish your candy at 2F less for every 1000 feet above sea level.

Is a candy thermometer the same as a meat thermometer?
No, a candy thermometer and a meat thermometer are not the same. A candy thermometer is designed to measure high temperatures for making candy, while a meat thermometer is used to measure the internal temperature of meat for cooking.
What is healthier - living at low or high altitude?
Living at low altitude is generally considered healthier because there is more oxygen available for the body to use, making it easier to breathe and less taxing on the heart. High altitudes can cause symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and headaches as the body adjusts to the lower oxygen levels.
Why does high pressure make us bleed in high places?
High pressure reduces the amount of oxygen available to our body tissues, making them more prone to bleeding in high-altitude settings. As a result, blood vessels can become more fragile and prone to rupture, leading to bleeding issues when pressure is high in high-altitude locations.
How does a turbocharger works in high altitude?
The same way it works at any altitude - by forcing more air into the combustion chamber, allowing the engine to burn more fuel and making more power.
Does high altitude affect drying clothes in gas dryer?
Yes, high altitude can affect the drying time for clothes in a gas dryer. The lower air pressure at higher altitudes can lead to reduced evaporation rates, making it slower for clothes to dry completely. It is recommended to adjust the drying time or temperature settings on the dryer to compensate for the effects of high altitude.

What is the difference between a candy thermometer and a meat thermometer?
A candy thermometer is used to measure high temperatures for making candy, while a meat thermometer is used to measure lower temperatures for cooking meat to a safe level.

Why cant the coarse adjustment knob be used on high power lenses?
The coarse adjustment knob is used for making major changes to the focus, and is therefore too inaccurate to use at high powers, where only a very fine adjustment can drastically change the clarity of the picture you see.
