    		A less high tech but traditional way to emulsify oils and water is to use acacia powder in the ratio oil:water:gum 4:2:1

    Can you boil water in boiling water...for example, take a small bottle, fill it with water, and suspend it in the boiling water so it doesn't touch the bottom. If you keep the bottle in the boiling water long enough, will the water inside it come to boil?

    We have an electric hot water heater and electric stove. When boiling a pot of water is it more cost effective to fill the pot with hot water from the tap or cold water?
