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.
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.
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.
Where would it take longer for an egg to cook Death Valley or Mount Everest?
It would take longer for an egg to cook on Mount Everest due to the higher altitude and lower boiling point of water, which would result in lower cooking temperatures. In Death Valley, the higher temperatures would lead to faster cooking times despite the extreme heat.
How much longer does it take to cook multiple things in the oven compared to cooking just one thing?
Cooking multiple things in the oven typically takes longer than cooking just one thing because the oven has to work harder to heat up and maintain the temperature with more items inside. This can result in a longer cooking time overall.
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.
Why does pasta take longer in the mountains?
Pasta takes longer to cook in the mountains primarily due to lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, which decreases the boiling point of water. As a result, water boils at a temperature lower than the standard 100°C (212°F), leading to longer cooking times for pasta. Additionally, the reduced oxygen levels can affect the cooking process, further extending the time needed to achieve the desired texture.
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.
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.
