Hot water freezes faster then cold water, and now we know why.

Isn't the time savings negated by the fact that warm water takes time to warm up?

Fine I'll bite...
Most houses equipped with a freezer also have water heaters...

While I don't know the situation in Belgium, warm tap water in Sweden has a teensy bit more copper in it than the cold tap water, which is not good for your health in the long run.

Why did I read hot as "Holy"

I know it's advised against in Denmark atleast, to not drink the warm tap water. Not sure why.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;42732141]Always use hot water to make ice cubes. Apparently they form faster, but also taste better.[/QUOTE]

Always use [B]boiled[/B] water.

Hot water straight from a tap is some nasty ass shit.

Statistically speaking, lactose intolerance in human adults is the default state. Those of us with lactose tolerance are the weirdos.

Yeah, apparently it's not Bacteria, it's Lead in your pipes that you need to worry about with hot water.

[QUOTE=ironman17;42728410]The notion of hot water freezing faster than cold, even if it's an actual thing, seems like some form of chaos sorcery.[/QUOTE]
It seems strange but when you think about how water actually expands when it freezes (rather than contracting, which is the norm for most molecules) it doesn't seem that odd.
