    Though a fun fact, boiled water freezes faster than cold water

    What an idiot. Boiling water is shelf-stable; you can just keep it in your pantry, then add it to soup or whatever!

    Thanks for the tip.

    Is there anything else that I can boil and freeze to use later?
    Such as car tyres. I want to buy 20 sets of car tyres but I worry that they will explode, or get eaten?

      Engine oil and antifreeze, it’s best preboil it and freeze it into cube, when you need it you just take out cube by cube, no hassle of thawing a huge chunk to only take a little.

      Cover them in Vaseline and you should be just fine. I can vouch for it.

      EDIT: Since you didn’t ask, the Vaseline (petroleum jelly) creates a lipid seal across the Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) surface of the tyre that resists blowouts. Meanwhile the Hyaluronic Acid in the Vaseline creates an undesirable taste for any would be tyre eaters. They will think twice next time!
