Cooking at high altitudeis different and can be  difficult. At sea level, water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, but as air pressure drops, water boils at lower temperatures. In metro Denver, water boils at 202 degrees. This means that food cooks at lower temperatures and the cooking times will be longer. Lower air pressure also causes baked goods to rise faster; therefore, less leavening is needed. Water evaporates much more quickly at high altitude than at sea level.      USDA  -High Altitude Cooking and Food Safety
