I've tried to cook in a crockpot in Colorado before & that didn't work. What suggestions do you have for cooking dinner meals ? I'm sure we'll be out exploring during the day & am planning on taking lunch meals with us, but I know my bunch. They'll be hungry in the evenings!
Pressure cookers work well at altitude. Crock pots don't work well because water boiles at a lower temperature at altitude. Pressure cookers allow you to cook at higher temperatures and thus quicker than regular pans. Get a small pressure cooker and a good pressure cooker cookbook. Stews work really well in pressure cookers.
