My English barometer, bought all the way in Greenwich, Mathcad and WaterSteamPro show that in Moscow water is now boiling at a temperature 2.3 degrees lower than at normal pressure. So eggs, soup, pasta, etc. need to be cooked longer!
Reminds me of Mark Twain.
“Our troubles are over; so people could rest, and I finally had the opportunity to pay attention to the scientific side of the expedition. First of all, I wanted to determine the height of the place where we were by means of a barometer, but, unfortunately, I did not get any results. I knew from my scientific readings that either the thermometer or the barometer had to be boiled to take a reading. Which of the two - I probably did not know and therefore decided to boil both.
Still got no results. Having examined both instruments, I saw that they were completely damaged: the barometer had only one copper needle, and a lump of mercury dangled in the thermometer ball ... I found another barometer; it was brand new and very good. I boiled it for half an hour in a pot of bean soup that the cook was making. The result was unexpected: the instrument completely ceased to function, but the soup acquired such a strong aftertaste of a barometer that the chief cook, a very intelligent man, changed its name in the list of dishes. The new dish won general approval, so I ordered barometer soup to be prepared every day. Of course, the barometer was completely flawed, but I didn't particularly regret it. Since he did not help me determine the height of the terrain, it means that I no longer need him'.
Are you sure the barometer indicates the correct air pressure?
It's either that, or the arrow is at its rest and can't indicate any lower value.

Now (21:48 not 8:00) the arrow points 950 mbar.
All ok with my barometer. With wether is not OK.
Today eggs can be boiled not so long
