It is a hint after sterilizing water by boiling to pour it back and forth between two pots to improve the taste. This is the only reason. Personally, I don’t think that oxygen, which is a gas, will hang around long in 200 + degree water.

actually in food science there is already studies and confirmation that the air particles inside water actually makes the water or soup or whatever liquid tastes better. its got to do with the oxygen molecules breaking down the molecules that produces the different tastes into smaller molecules so that your taste buds can taste it better. thats why adding alot of oxygen into soups makes it taste even more refreshing.
for example, bottled ice teas, open one up and drink a mouthful, remembering to taste the tea and the sensations on your tounge. then shake the bottle vigourously until it is full of foam on the top. then take another sip and compare the difference. oh, try and close your eyes as you drink it, it makes the taste stand out even more.

wicus lab and Hweegan,
Do you remember nothing from science class? (or are you Americans?)
Read Siew’s comment.
We’re talking about ‘Dissolved Oxygen’, not the Oxygen component of H2O.

Yes re-boiling water does make it hard. The minerals in the water obviously aren’t being boiled off into the atmosphere. They either stay in the water or become “scum” on the side of the pot/pan.

Try this test… Boil a few cups of water in a pan until a small amount is left, and see the buildup on the sides of the pan… that’s the minerals from the water. You could go so far as continuing by adding more water without cleaning the pan and continue to boil a few times then swirl the water around the pan and take a taste of the water…

It’s going to a “harder” more mineral rich taste to the water.

Namaste

how bout boiled water to make milk for infants and children?

Since oxygen content of water will decrease if boiled more than once.Logically it still doesn’t change my mind about this and i just argued a little with my sister about this . hahaa :)
