What it Means
What to Do
-
Boil things longer if you are at an elevation of 5000 feet or
more.
-
Oven temperatures are NOT affected by altitude, so it is sometimes
necessary to adjust the suggested oven temperature. For
batters and dough, you should increase the temperature by 25
degrees Fahrenheit if you are at an elevation of 3500 feet or more.
-
Adjust ingredients that cause your baked goods to rise. See
the sidebar bar for guidelines.
-
If possible, use smaller pans; they work better at high altitudes.
-
Increase liquids (including that used in rice, soups and
vegetables) slightly to allow for longer cooking times.
Have a great brunch!
