Question

Why is cooking difficult at high altitude?

✓

Answer

At high altitude density of air is low which causes reduction in atmospheric pressure.
As pressure is less, boiling point of water lowers.
Water, at high altitude, starts boiling below 100 OC.
As food is cooked mostly through the water boiling, cooking of food becomes difficult.
