Why are cooking utensils often made with a copper bottom?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Copper is a good conductor of heat, ensuring even heating.
• Copper has very high thermal conductivity.
• It allows quick and uniform heat distribution across the utensil base.
• This improves cooking efficiency and prevents food from burning locally.
Information Booster:
• Thermal conductivity of copper is about 401 W/m·K.
• Copper bottoms are often combined with stainless steel bodies.
• Even heating reduces fuel consumption.
Additional Knowledge:
• Copper can react with acidic food, hence it is usually coated.
• Aluminium is also used for similar heat-conducting properties.
