Radiation
Conduction. The pan rests on the cooker top. Heat passes by direction conduction to the metal of the pan, and from the pan to the liquid.
1). The heat of the flame CONDUCTS through the bottom of the pan, to the inside. 2). The heat from the metal on the bottom inside the pan CONDUCTS into the water that's down there on the bottom. 3). The water on the bottom gets hot. 4). When the water on the bottom is hot, CONVECTION makes it rise to the top, and CONVECTION makes cooler water sink to the bottom. 5). Go back to Step-2 as many times as possible until somebody shuts off the burner.
any type of metal, that's why a pan gets really hot when put over a flame, because metal conducts heat really well
heat is the byproduct of an object vibrating at the molecular level. When those vibrations transmit to nearby collision molecules, heat transfer occurs. Generally, the less a metal weighs, the quicker it can transfer heat. Aluminum is a good example of this. But a hot aluminum pan will warp easily if you put cold water on it. Cast iron transfers heat much slower and doesn't easily warp if you douse it with cold water
A frying pan is a conductor as heat can easily travel through the pan since it's metal.
Metal is a heat conductor so the heat will travel throughout the pan. I think! x
Because wood is not a good conductor of heat. The molecules in wood are not very close to each other; therefore the heat cannot travel through the molecules and you can't feel the heat. Metal is a good conductor of heat because the molecules are very tightly packed together, so the heat can travel through easily. Hope this helps
A metal frying pan handle, covered in a good heat insulating material, means that you don't burn your hand when picking the frying pan off the stove. It also means that you don't have to insulate your hand by using a tea-towel or oven glove.
A steel pan works by holding the things to be cooked and by conducting heat from a source below it through the metal and into that food.
The bigger the pan, the less kernels popped, because it takes more time for the heat to travel through a larger pan, then it does a smaller one.
Radiation
The wood wont conduct the heat from the hot metal pan
how does heat spread through the liquid in a pan
through radiation
The metal conducts heat better and will cook the food evenly. A high end metal pan covered with a ceramic finish is one of the best cooking pans you can have. Iron skillets have always been considered a good pan as well, but the iron does realise elements in the food as it cooks.
Metal transfers the heat to the food well and the heat doesn't harm the metal.
