Question

Give reason why cooking is difficult in mountainous regions

Answer 1

Answer:

In mountain or in hilly regions, atmosphere pressure is very low due to the absence of air column there. Since pressure is low, boil point becomes low. So the water will start to boil before 100 °c. It makes the cooking process difficult. We usually estimate the boil of food through the water boiling. But, when water boils quickly we find it difficult to estimate the food's state, whether it is completely cooked or not. We can use pressure cookers to solve this problem
