because heat is a type of energy!. The hot food has more energy and can travel to your nose much faster then cold food!. What you are smelling is actually tiny particles of the food, being wafted into the air and towards you nose!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

The steam coming from the hot food holds the scent, and travels in the air!. The scent from the cold food just kinda comes right off the food and doesn't travel!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the molecules have more energy (heat gives them energy) so they disperse faster through the air, and reach your nose quicker!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
