Cooking takes longer because water and other liquids evaporate faster and boil at lower temperatures.At sea level water boils at 212degrees Fahrenheit but at an altitude of 7,500 feet, it boils at about 198 degrees. Foods that are prepared by boiling or simmering will cook at a lower temperature and it will take longer to cook them. Hope this helps!! ; )
