the drawbacks of living at altitude

water doesn't boil properly. i've got the slow cooker on (doing enchilada chicken) and it's boiling like a mad thing. slow cookers are meant to simmer gently, not boil like a mad thing. it's kind of annoying because there is a lot of steam coming from the food, so much that it is forcing it's way out under the lid. this means that the food will dry out and not cook properly. not to mention that the lid is clattering and spitting all over the place and making a dreadful racket. hmmmm.

I also want to add that our oven doesn't work properly either because of the altitude.
