Question

It is difficult to cook in hills than in plains. why?

Answer 1

Because with increase in height pressure increases and increasing atmospheric pressure decreases the boiling point of water.

As boiling point decreases,when we add water in a dish,water boils at first and other in gradients can not get sufficient heat due to latent heat of water which only involves for the state change of water.

Answer 2

As altitude increases ,the air becomes less dense and the pressure thus reduces. The temperature decreases and the boiling point of water reduces.

Almost all food items need water as a base for cooking and they taste the best only if cooked at high temperature.

In hilly region, when food is being cooked the boiling point of water is achieved quickly than what is at sea level (100°C) . Thus the boiling point of water is achieved at low temperature and now the temperature would not increase. But the food needs more higher temperature to be fully cooked. So the food cooked is not that good than food cooked at sea level.
