Cooking Rice

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.

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.

Baking with Egg Whites

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.

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.

Cooking Rice

When making rice, add 15%-20% more liquid and cook a few extra minutes.

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.
