Baking with Oatmeal
When a recipe calls for oatmeal, always use quick oats. Old fashioned oats tend to dry a baked good out faster as they absorb more liquid.
Eggs in Baking
Adding an extra egg yolk when baking or using extra large eggs will add extra moisture help your baked goods from drying out.
Soups and Stews
The liquid in soups and stews can evaporate quicker at high altitudes. Add 20-25% more cooking liquid than the recipe calls for.
Yeast Breads
Yeast doughs rise quicker at higher altitudes so the proof time will be significantly less. Watch carefully so dough(s) doesn’t over rise.
Grilling
When grilling, avoid direct heat for too long so foods don’t dry out. Baste meat last 5-10 minutes to add extra moisture.
