Hey there...I just learned that placing hot water in a freezer will freeze faster than placing cold water in a freezer...is this true??? If so then why is that so??? I would think that cold water would freeze quicker since it's closer to the freezing point than the hot water...plz give me info on this...THANX
C'YA ?:-D

EDIT: OK...now that it has been determined that hot water freezes faster than cold water...I have another question...why don't freezers use hot (or at least warm) water than cold water...ice cubes take too damn long to make...they need to make em faster...maybe they could at least use a setting or something
