BOILING ROOT VEGETABLES

YOU HAVE TO START BOILING ROOT VEGETABLES IN COLD WATER, BECAUSE
THEY ARE USED TO THE COLD OF THE SOIL AND HOT WATER WILL SHOCK THEM,
VEGETABLES WHICH GROW ABOVE GROUND, SUCH AS BEANS, SHOULD BE STARTED
IN WARM WATER BECAUSE THEY ARE USED TO THE WARMTH OF THE SUN, AND
COLD WATER WILL SHOCK THEM. THIS WAS WELL KNOWN BY ALL GOOD POLISH
COOKS.
