But seriously folks, it would be interesting if the organization of
water's crystalline microstructure was affected by different heating
methods. The "Mpemba effect" (where hot water freezes faster than cold)
probably involves the degree of supercooling that water will support
before spontaneously freezing. If a recent history of heating can affect
later supercooling, maybe it can also affect how our taste receptors
respond.
