Why do people prefer steel utensils with a copper bottom for uniform heating of food?

Options

  1. ASteel and copper together provide uniform heating due to their balanced conductivity.
  2. BThe quick heating of the copper bottom ensures even distribution of heat in the steel utensil.
  3. CCopper's higher conductivity results in rapid heating at the junction, leading to uniform heating of the food.
  4. DThe use of steel with copper allows for better insulation, ensuring uniform heating of the food.

Correct answer

C. Copper's higher conductivity results in rapid heating at the junction, leading to uniform heating of the food.

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (C)
Copper's higher conductivity results in rapid heating at the junction, leading to uniform heating of the food.
