Do you fill your pot up with hot or cold water?
I always use hot water because I feel like it reaches boiling faster. DH uses whatever the knob is already set at. Call me crazy, but it's one of my weird cooking habits!

whatever the faucet is just at.
-
I use hot water. My SO doesn't think about it so just uses whatever.
-
I use cold. Supposedly you shouldn't use hot tap water?
-
I use whatever the faucet is set at. It would be interesting to do an experiment to see how much faster the hot water boils!
-
I try to use cold bc I have a thing about cooking with hot water.

Cold - I've heard if you have an older hot water heater there can be sediment, so to be safe, I use cold.

I use cold most of the time.

@locavore_mama: @spaniellove: Wow, I had no idea! Thanks for the info. I guess I'll just have to wait for my cold water to boil from now on!

@MrsRoo: the things you learn on here!

@locavore_mama: I guess I'm not using hot water anymore. Haha. Thanks for the info!

I use cold, even though our house is newer, ever since I read about lead I use cold.

It depends what I'm using it for. If I need it for cleaning I will use hot water but if I'm making tea or baby formula I will use cold because I seem to think using water from the boiler is bad for you... I'm going to read the link now and remind myself why!!
