nice post . in our school days we read ,why pulse cooking is delayed in mountain or higher altitude area ? it is because of boiling point increased .
.........

Higher altitude decreases the boiling point of water. Boiling point is defined as the point at which the vapour pressure of the

substance above the liquid is equal to the external atmospheric pressure. Since the external atmospheric pressure is lower at

higher altitudes, a lower vapour pressure of water is required for water to boil and therefore a lower temperature is required to

achieve the desired vapour pressure.

Cooking might be delayed at higher altitudes where there is less pressure because the water would inately be cooler and require more heat.
