Cooking times and temperatures may vary at high altitudes due to lower air pressure and humidity. As a general rule, reduce cooking times by 1-2 minutes for every 1,000 feet of altitude. Also, reduce oven temperatures by 1-2% for every 1,000 feet of altitude. For example, if a recipe calls for baking at 350°F (180°C), you may need to bake at 340°F (170°C) at high altitude.
