Why start with cold water when you're going to boil it for cooking? My
mother used to tell me that old water heaters would collect crud at the
bottom, which would get sucked out if water was drawn when the heater was
low on water. I hope that it usually doesn't make any difference with
"modern" water heaters; certainly it doesn't if you have a continuous flow
heater.
