Did you taste the water from the pot, or did u just touch it? Also, are u using an enclosed container (i.e. lid on top of the cup)? What kind of cup are you using?Asteriktos said:Mystery of life #439,623... why is it that the water in the pot that is heating on the stove seems like it's the perfect temperature, yet when I pour the water into my cup of hot chocolate mix, it suddenly becomes scalding hot, so that I can't drink it for 15 minutes?
I used a spoon to taste the water out of the pot, and before it came to a boil I poured the water into a tall blue plastic cup/glass (no lid). Stir the hot chocolate and... POOF, to hot to drink (too hot for me, anyway) :angel:Ortho_cat said:Did you taste the water from the pot, or did u just touch it?

The spoon (metal) conducts heat better thn the plastic cup, so the spoon absorbs more of the energy from the water, lowering the avg. temp of the water in the spoon relative to that in the cup.Asteriktos said:I used a spoon to taste the water out of the pot, and before it came to a boil I poured the water into a tall blue plastic cup/glass (no lid).

Also, I believe that since the volume of water in the cup is greater than that in the spoon, the average temperature of the water in the cup is higher than that in the spoon since the former contains more energy (as temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules)
So I think it's a combination of these.
edit: I had a bunch of other stupid ideas, but i think these are most likely correct (or close to it).
I don't agree with the second one thought. If it were true every substance in bigger container would have higher temperature than in the smaller one. I would add the bigger area:mass ratio in the spoon than in the cup (the greater area, the faster energy transfers).Ortho_cat said:The spoon (metal) conducts heat better thn the plastic cup, so the spoon absorbs more of the energy from the water, lowering the avg. temp of the water in the spoon relative to that in the cup.Asteriktos said:I used a spoon to taste the water out of the pot, and before it came to a boil I poured the water into a tall blue plastic cup/glass (no lid).

geez...you think there's common courtesy to make it a little cheaperAsteriktos said:Lol, same price. It was just a small bus with the cab's logo on the side. Cost me $9 (+ tip) to get home either way.
Ya, i might be off on that one now that i think about it.Michał Kalina said:I don't agree with the second one thought.

Be careful. I asked that question once and never got an answer. Crushed, I was.biro said:Is there an ignore button on this board?

I just read that what you think is a wax coating on brie is really just more cheese, so I suppose you could eat it.chrevbel said:So, the waxy coating on brie. Are you supposed to eat that part? Or should you scrape it off and throw it away?
