   There are holes in bagels or beigals because the dough is initially formed into a cylindrical shape, then the ends are joined. Before the hole was cut out, the dough in the middle would not cook all the way through and was still doughy. So some wise baker cut the centre out, decreasing the cooking time, and the bagel was cooked all the way through to perfection. Beigals are boiled in hot water, before they’re baked.

   Just curious, is it possible to boil something in cold water?

   Yes, just drop dry ice into water. Carbon dioxide sublimates from frozen to gas at -109ºF, which is why it is used to make those “mad scientist” drinks that you see on television.

    Nope, the hole is there so you can carry two bagels, or donuts, back to bed with the two cups of coffee you’re carrying.
