I don't know the answer. I know that the principle is that you lower the pressure to lower the boiling point, and that the level of molecular activity is altered also. I don't have a clue whether any of that is relevant, or if some of the other physical attributes associated with hot boiling water are altered also.

Maybe I'll play with Google later to see if I can get some info, in the name of science.
This is kinda interesting too...
