As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases. With less atmospheric pressure it takes less energy to convert water t
o steam and water evaporates more easily. Also the temperature at which water boils changes. At sea level water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. But at 10,000 feet it boils at 194 degrees Fahrenheit. So keep these things in mind when following recipes. Tomorrow I will give you 5 tips concerning Cakes and Quick breads baked at high altitudes. ~ Chef Wilkinson ~
