Hans says “Got 100%  (the water boiling thing is familiar to those of us who cook....)”

 

Ayep, right on Hans – and that’s why if you want to boil some water for you morning oat meal at 9,000 feet you have to bring a pressure cooker.

 

So here’s a question for good captains of the air - - - how do flight attendants boil water for that ever fine and delicious in the air instant coffee?  Cabin altitude is 8,000 feet.

 

Another thing that doesn’t work well at that altitude (other than your body) is a vacuum cleaner.
