Um, how about a lid? I'm sure that steam pressing against the weight of a lid can compensate for several thousand feet of altitude.

Okay, after some calculation, I'm totally wrong. A lid couldn't compensate for more than a few hundred feet, unless the vessel was quite small.

Still, a pressure cooker would work. Pressure cookers for canning even already have a pressure gauge attached.
