Answer

Switzerland is enclosed by land and mountains, while Manhattan is an island at the sea level. The difference in topography makes the barometric pressure different in both areas. Increased pressure values result in greater temperatures than those of low values. This can be translated in our case in terms of time: the higher the pressure is, the less time it takes to cook.
