does water boil quicker at higher elevations?

Question

I read a couple articles that talk about the different temperature requirement at different elevations, but does this change the time required to boil said pot of water? if the temperature to boil the pot of water i’m assuming the time to boil it will also be lower? but perhaps the air pressure changes something that i’m not aware of

also chemistry? is that the right flair? sorry if it’s not

Answer 1

Yes it will boil quicker but if you wanted to cook something it will take longer because of the lower temperature. A hard boiled egg at sea level takes about 6-7 minutes, at 10,000ft, it takes 15 to 20 minutes.
