We were discussing pressure cookers with folks who have lived around a
lot more places than we have and the comment was made that anywhere
over 5000 ft you need a pressure cooker. Given that Yellowstone lake
is at ~7700 ft do we need to plan on having cooking problems? Any
tips appreciated.

pressure cooker. Just adjust cooking time for the altitude and you
should have no problems.

PC. At Lake City Co. at 9600' where water boils at about 195 we had
no problems. Just cooked the cream of wheat and pasta a little
longer.
Best I could tell bacon cooks a little faster at high elevations
because it lost moisture faster. Grilling steaks always seemed to be
just the same. Baking - well usually packaged goods mentions
different bake times for high altitudes.
Take one along if you want, but unless you wanted to boil a tough
chicken or possum in a hurry I don't think you need one.

We've spent over 11 months in YNP, and never used or felt we needed a
pressure cooker. Also spent 2 months around Gunnison, Co. and additional
time at elevations from 5,000 up to over 8,000 and never had any
problems cooking anything.

Never owned a pressure cooker and Breck is at 9600 feet.
The trick is, turn your flame down and cook longer.

The person who mentioned it was a retired Army Apache pilot who
started in the Rangers then went back to school and went into flying.
Now he is retired and a ROTC instructor. He has been around enough
that he usually has a point.

Wouldn't be without one.
Our favorite since the kids left the coop is a 4 quart model; we have
two, one for the house and one in the trailer.
We don't cook much while traveling but the cooker is so much faster than
conventional that it's really worthwhile to have.
Along with the microwave we consider it indispensable.

We own two of them and consider them pretty important for garden canning - an older small one for small batches and a large one when we have a large amount of produce that needs to be canned. But that is all we need cookers for.
We have camped and cooked at 8,000 to 10,000 several times feet and agree that cooking is a little different but is more a matter of time than anything. You can cook most anything to exactly the same degree and flavor but it will take a little longer. You might have to get up a little earlier if you have you body calibrated for coffee at a specific time.
Now, exploding potato chip bags -- that's another matter.

I think the climber deal is that as one goes higher the pressure

Had he said, "...and the comment was made that anywhere over 5000 ft you
need a pressure cooker. (still NM) Now I'm guessing that the
speaker/commenter meant that in a situation where you find it necessary
to boil or steam something and you're at an altitude that's over 5000
ft, a pressure cooker is highly advised. Have any of you veteran RV
travelers who had the occasion to cook, in this case meaning to boil or
steam something, at an altitude exceeding 5000 ft, found it necessary or
perhaps advisable to use a pressure cooker"?

You might want to check your math. Most 14 quart pressure cookers holds about 7-8 quart jars. Or, is yours special?

our home. There are storage racks in our basement that has case after case
of canning jars full of caned fruit and vegetables that we grew on our
property!!
Canning information for those that don't have a clue:

FACTS: You will notice that the boiling point of water changes shortly after
you leave sea level. Doraville, where we live is 1,070 feet above sea level
and straddles the Eastern continental divide which separates the water shed
between the Gulf & the Atlantic. Half of the city water runs into the Gulf
and 1/2 into the Atlantic. We are near the top of the ridge on the Gulf
side!!

But, did you pass a background check? It sounds like yours is a high

capacity PC? Do you support banning all PC's over 3 quart? Do you
support universal background checks for buying or transferring a PC?
Well?

pressure cooker for canning farm raised fruits & vegetables, so NO I did not
take a background check since none was required no matter what I had been
doing at that time. We are talking about 60 years ago!! You should know
that almost all pressure cookers up to 24 quarts in the USA were bought and
are still owned by farmers!!

Well? (whatever that means)

relief valve. They were removed because they wanted them to blow up!!
All vessels that cook under pressure have some kind of pressure relief to
prevent them from blowing up!! over the years we have also had some pressure
cooker pots that were 1 & 2 quart sizes. Those are long gone in yard sales.
We also went to the Farmer's Market and caned in their 100 quart steam fired
pressure cookers. BTW, I made a mistake in the original post. The one at
home holds 14 canning jars.
