You cannot heat water above its boiling temperature.

Water boils at a lower temperature when the air pressure is lower.

The air pressure is lower at higher altitudes.

The temperature of boiling water is lower at higher altitudes.

Many recipes cooking times are reliant on boiling water, and if at a higher altitude you’ll need to increase this time.
