How do you boil an egg at altitude?
1. Increase the cooking time. The higher the altitude, the lower the boiling point of water. This means that it takes longer for water to reach a boil at altitude. For every 1,000 feet above sea level, add 1 minute to the cooking time.
2. Use a pressure cooker. A pressure cooker can raise the boiling point of water, which means that you can cook eggs at altitude in the same amount of time as you would at sea level.
3. Add salt to the water. Adding salt to the water will raise the boiling point by a small amount. This can help to compensate for the lower boiling point of water at altitude.
4. Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs are tough and rubbery. When boiling eggs at altitude, it is important to cook them for just the right amount of time.
Here are some tips for boiling eggs at altitude:
- Start with cold water. Cold water will help to prevent the eggs from cracking.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium heat.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the eggs for 3-4 minutes (for soft-boiled eggs) or 5-7 minutes (for hard-boiled eggs).
- Remove the eggs from the heat and place them in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
Boiled eggs are a healthy and versatile food that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. By following these tips, you can boil perfect eggs at any altitude.
