Boiling

In cooking, boiling food is when one prepares food by cooking it in a liquid heated to boiling temperature. The liquid can be water, milk, wine, beer, a broth or stock, or many other liquids.

Boiling point depends on atmospheric pressure. The higher your altitude, the lower the boiling point, and the longer a food will need to be boiled.
