It's simple physics. Water boils at 100C at STP (standard temp pressure
(ie 1 atmosphere).
At higher altitudes there is less air pressure. That why water boils at a
lower temp in Denver
If you're cooking and require 210 water you have to use a pressure cooker in
Denver.
In theory the Tiger will atart to boil at 100C 212F with no pressure cap.
Add about 3 F for
each lb. This meens the 13 lb cap allows the boiling boil to go to 212F +
39F or 259F.
and remember that's at sea level. In Denver the boiling point I believe is
190F so your 13 lb
cap means the Tiger will boil at 190F + 39F or 229F. In Chicago in heavy
stop and go, 240F
is easy to do.
For those at higher altitudes you can
(1) increase the atmospheric pressure
(2) move to a lower altitude
(3) keep the temp below boiling.
