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.
