High-Altitude Baking

Tired of cakes that sink in the middle or get burnt on the outside, but never fully cook in the middle? Would you like bread that rises properly and does not fall apart when you cut it open?

High-Altitude Cooking

(The Savory Side)

Higher altitude generally means lower air pressure which can impact how you prepare certain recipes. The elevation also impacts the temperature at which water boils and the moisture content of food.

Food items like eggs and pasta will need more time to cook, fried foods will lose moisture more quickly and burn, and soups, stews and sauces may dry out or be too thick.
