How does higher elevation affect cooking time?
The boiling point for water drops one degree Fahrenheit for every 550 foot rise in elevation, so cooking time doubles for every 5,000 feet above sea level. Almost all Richmoor and Natural High products are instant to shorten cooking time. Presoaking and simmering ingredients may be helpful to minimize cooking time. Always cover pot while cooking so heat doesn’t evaporate. Pouches sometimes inflate at high altitudes, so puncture outer bag with a pin if you are traveling to higher elevations.
