Hot pot bottom material belongs to cooked food and does not need extra heating. It is generally recommended to boil the water before putting it.
Compared with boiling water, boiling hot pot bottom material with cold water is not so fragrant, because after the hot pot bottom material is made, the original flavor of various seasonings can only be stimulated by high temperature when it is eaten later. For example, if you put cold water in the bottom of a hot pot, the fragrance will evaporate slowly, but in addition, the water temperature will not affect the taste and composition of the bottom of the hot pot, and even the bottom of the hot pot cooked with cold water has the same taste.
