Stainless steel pans are usually given copper bottoms. What is the reason for this?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Copper is a better conductor of heat than stainless steel.
Copper is one of the best conductors of heat, much better than stainless steel. A copper bottom takes heat from the flame quickly and spreads it evenly, so the food cooks faster and does not burn in patches.
