Hey there, pickle pros! For quick pickling, hot water helps the brine infuse faster, giving you flavorful pickles in less time. Cold water takes longer but can keep veggies crunchier. It all depends on your preference! Hope this helps!

Hey! Definitely go with hot water for quick pickling. It helps dissolve the salt and sugar faster, which means your veggies will absorb all that tasty goodness more quickly. Plus, it speeds up the pickling process, so you can enjoy your pickles sooner!

For quick pickling, it's best to use hot water because it helps dissolve the salt and sugar more quickly, ensuring a balanced brine and faster infusion of flavors into your vegetables.
