The basis for hot ice is sodium acetate trihydrate, which is heated above its melting point and then cooled below its melting point so it's supercooled. It's still liquid and quickly solidifies when a seed crystal is introduced. Sodium acetate trihydrate can be bought, or made at home by mixing three tablespoons of baking soda with one liter of ...
