depends what your cooking? pasta=good. boiled egg=bad. (to the above answer. Only in terms of saving cooking time but it does not come without a large trade off)....And its bad tradeoff, Heres why......... The insides of a hot water heater contain metals that can, and do corrode. Some of the pipes in your older homes that are not made of PVC may have lead soldering. Hot water will dissolve metals, especially lead, much quicker than cold water will. Not to mention that over the years of daily use of drawing gallons throughout the day in cycles causes the water from the local utility, with all of it's impurities to collect and precipitate in the bottom of the hot water heater. This is a prime breeding ground for bacteria. Perhaps they cannot survive in an environment where the water is around 140°, but as soon as the water cools down enough due to a power outage or extended leave (if you turn off your water heater), all the necessary nutrients are there in an 80 gallon soup. hope that deters you from cooking in hot tap water.
Yes; boiling implies that the water is hot, although it may have been cold before the heating.
If you are looking at decreasing cooking time you would use cold water. Thermal exchange causes the water temperature to have a drastic increase. If you are just cooking the egg then it doesn't really matter.
To quickly soak beans for cooking, rinse them thoroughly and then cover them with water in a pot. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the beans sit in the hot water for about an hour. Drain and rinse the beans before cooking them as usual.
Installing hot water taps in a kitchen provides instant access to hot water, saving time and energy compared to waiting for a kettle to boil. It also reduces water wastage and can improve efficiency in cooking and cleaning tasks.
ummm... hot water and hot water boil at the same rate...
Egg goes from liquid to solid. Water becomes steam, pan becomes hot. Cooking = chemical change.
To quickly soak kidney beans before cooking, rinse them thoroughly and then cover them with water in a pot. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the beans sit in the hot water for about an hour. Drain and rinse the beans before cooking.
No, hot tub water does not boil. Hot tubs are typically maintained at temperatures below the boiling point of water to ensure the safety and comfort of users. Boiling water in a hot tub would be dangerous and impractical.
A lower boiling point at high altitudes means that water will boil at a lower temperature, which can affect cooking times and the preparation of food. It may take longer to boil water for cooking and hot beverages, and food may require adjustments in cooking times to ensure it is cooked properly.
Boil it in a pot on a stove.
sometimes it will boil if it is hot enough
It should be at a boiling point when cooking Crabs; as Crabs and Lobsters don't like very - hot bioling water.
