About boiling
Boiling, as it applies to cooking, means cooking foods in boiling water. In most populated parts of the world, plain water boils at temperatures from about 200°F to 212°F (95°C to 100°C). This varies with the atmospheric pressure, which in turn varies with both altitude and barometric pressure. When the water is salted, the boiling temperature is slightly higher than for un-salted water.
Foods suitable for boiling include fish, vegetables, pasta, eggs, meats, sauces, stocks and soups. </div>
