Hot water dissolves lead more quickly than cold water and is therefore more likely to contain greater amounts of lead. Never use water from the hot water tap for drinking, cooking, or making baby formula.

    I think it’s negligible compared to ingesting. I think most dishwashers do a final cold rinse, yeah? I could be wrong on that though.

      The steam that comes out of dishwashers I’ve used after washing would seem to indicate otherwise. Wouldn’t that temperature shock be dangerous to the ceramics?
