Denver is so high up that water boils at a lesser temperature than, say, low down along the ocean. Since there is less heat in Denver boiling water, things have to be cooked longer.

(Once water boils, it cannot get any hotter, unless you put it under pressure, as done with a pressure canner, for example)

An egg takes longer to cook in denver than new york city why?

An egg takes longer to cook in Denver than in New York City because Denver is at a higher altitude, which means the boiling point of water is lower. This lower boiling point results in longer cooking times for foods that require boiling water, such as eggs.


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.
