"Clear ice by boiling" myth

Just going to leave this here that there's a common misconception that boiling water before freezing it gives clear ice by removing dissolved gases; it seems like this only clarifies the ice somewhat but not totally. [1][2][3] Edderiofer (talk) 05:42, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

-== Shouldn't there be a section on freezies? ==
-They're pretty popular [[User:Lhw1|Lhw1]] ([[User talk:Lhw1|talk]]) 09:25, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
-== Modifications ==
-Though recorded in the history, figured I should probably mention it here as well.  I removed the Gorrie entry under ice cube tray and made his own section.  Gorrie never invented an ice cube tray.  Also, I added an image of his old-school freezer.  Moreover I fixed "some" of the grammar on the page.  Though, the text should be proofread and rewritten so that it does not reflect the horrific state of our North American educational systems!!  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Soldier.pitre|Soldier.pitre]] ([[User talk:Soldier.pitre|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Soldier.pitre|contribs]]) 18:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-==Fecal matter & E. Coli claim unsourced==
-"Recent demand for premium, safe drink ice has created a new niche market for disposable ice trays which can be cost- effectively transported or stored at room temperature, whilst protecting the consumer from contaminants such as fecal matter, [[E. Coli]] or [[fertilizer]] residue commonly found in mis-handled ice cube trays and un-safe water supplies." This is not supported in the article cited.[[User:Nard111|Nard111]] ([[User talk:Nard111|talk]]) 13:39, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
-Ditto.  It's clearly advertising, not NPOV and unsupported so I'm going to edit it. [[User:Tomcrocker|Tomcrocker]] ([[User talk:Tomcrocker|talk]]) 13:53, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
-== plural ==
-can the title of this article at least be changed to Ice Cubes to prevent confusion with the rapper?  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:KingLouse|KingLouse]] ([[User talk:KingLouse|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/KingLouse|contribs]]) 09:08, 31 August 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-== Picture of fake ice cubes ==
-[[File:Ice cubes openphoto.jpg|thumb|right]]
-I reorganised the page to a more logical structure, and in the process noticed that this image is a photo of ''fake'' ice cubes, which is not a topic covered anywhere in the article except in the caption for this photo. Can we remove the image? ~ [[User:Kimelea|Kimelea]] ([[User talk:Kimelea|talk]]) 18:37, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
-:Okay, I take that as a yes. :) [[User:Kimelea|~ Kimelea]] ([[User talk:Kimelea|talk]]) 16:14, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
-== Do ice cubes preceed refrigeration ? ==
-Since natural ice harvested from a lake must have some debris in it, it would be interesting to know if people had devices use natural ice to freeze purer water for putting directly in drinks.
-[[User:Tashiro|Tashiro]] ([[User talk:Tashiro|talk]]) 04:54, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
-:Seems unlikely. (Making ice cubes in an ice box would melt a lot of the ice you'd be using to cool the drinks.) In any case, feel free to look for sources. - [[User:SummerPhD|<span style="color:#D70270;background-color:white;">Sum</span><span style="color:#734F96;background-color:white;">mer</span><span style="color:#0038A8;background-color:white;">PhD</span>]] ([[User talk:SummerPhD|talk]]) 13:19, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
