    That cold water will boil faster than warm water.

    It’s a confusion. You should always cook with cold tap water, not hot, because hot tap water can contain excessive amounts of lead.

    There are several instances where hot water can freeze faster than lukewarm water. I believe people saw this on shows such as Bill Nye and then forgot the specifics.
