"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]

-==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)

-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-->

-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.

-: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)
