Question

Why cooking food takes a lot of time on a hill?

Open in App
Solution

At high altitudes, there is a decrease in atmospheric pressure. As atmospheric pressure decreases, water boils at lower temperatures. Because water boils at a lower temperature at higher elevations, foods that are prepared by boiling or simmering will cook at a lower temperature, and it will take longer to cook.
