Many things cook more slowly at high altitude, not faster, because water and other liquids boil at lower temperatures than they do at sea level.
I’ve seen pressure cookers used in Denver for that reason.
Saying that things cook faster would indeed by tragically flawed high-altitude cooking instructions.
itisme: if you live in an abandoned missile silo, you are under plenty of pressure. Just hope the bad buys crossed it off their target list after it was abandoned!!

Isn’t it interesting that the one person who is not either ducking or putting his hands up is the one who gets clobbered.
Must have been asleep. He will probably sleep for a while longer now. Maybe doze in the dentist’s chair, too…
As Ray C said, things cook slower at high altitudes due to less air pressure - you can safely drink boiling water at the top of Mt. Everest as it boils at much less than 212 degrees. But who cares - what about that magazine in the blog? I would certainly pay 25 cents for it (don’t tell my mother, though) - can I subscribe?
High altitude directions mostly have to do with baked goods. At high altitudes (low pressure) gases produced by leavening agents (that make baked goods rise) expand too much and cause the dough to fall. For high altitude, you need less leavening or stiffer dough.

Faulty high altitude cooking instructions are very tragic, indeed!

You can’t trust anyone these days, which is why I often safeguard my malaria net by stuffing it in my pants.

Would someone explain why special instructions are needed for high-altitude cooking? What’s different at a high altitude?

Air pressure is less and items cook faster.
To Sisyphos, I am sure we cold some lessons in proper grammar.
