Cast iron. If you're cooking a larger portion of food then I recommend the 5 quart dutch oven from Lodge. It has a heavy lid and a great handle.

Do kitchen pots made from different materials transfer heat at different rates?
Yes. But there are two different qualities of heat transfer. When you talk about the rate of heat transfer, you may be talking about the speed the pot changes temperature or how well it spreads heat. The rate of temperature change is called thermal diffusivity. A copper pot would change temperature about 1.3X faster than an aluminum pot, and 10X faster than an iron pot. How well it spreads the heat is called thermal conductivity. A copper pot would spread the heat about 2X better than an aluminum pot and about 8X better than an iron pot. This is assuming the thickness of each pot is the same. The ability of heat to pass through the pot, is also thermal conductivity. For some things you'd want a pot that transfers heat evenly and quickly, copper. For other things you'd want a pot that holds the heat, iron.
Which oil holds heat better vegetable or olive?
Olive oil holds heat better than vegetable oil. However, all types of cooking oils are susceptible to heat damage if they are left on a burner for too long.
Before the water in the pot can heat up the pot itslef must heat up does the pot heat up by conduction convection or radiation?
Conduction.

If you put a pot on the stove the pot becomes hot. The heat is transferred to the pot on the burner by radiation. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F?
It depends on the size of the flame. If the flame is large enough so that it touches the bottom of the pot, the heat is transferred directly from the flame to the pot by conduction. A smaller flame will radiate heat to the pot but will also heat the air between the flame and the pot (by conduction) and the hot air will also transfer heat to the pot by conduction. Either way, heat moves from the bottom of the pot to the rest of the pot and the food inside by conduction.
How many gallons are in a 12 pot?
The answer depends on the size of each pot. If we assume each pot holds 1 gallon of liquid, then there would be 12 gallons in a 12-pot. However, if each pot holds a different amount, then the total would vary.
What does a pot do to protect plants?
it holds in water?
I had to hotup the wax to clean the pot or I had to heat up the wax to clean the pot?
'heat up' the wax!!
What is a hot water pot?
A hot pot is a kettle used in dorms to heat water, and to heat soups
Describe how the heat from the stove gets to the water in the pot?
As the stove heats up the pot, heat is transferred from the pot to the water through conduction. Within the pot, heat is transferred through convection from the hot water molecules to the cold ones.
How does heat transfer from the stove to the pot?
On an electric stove, the heat coil directly touches the pot, facilitating the conduction or direct heat transfer. On a gas stove, the burning fuel transfers heat to a pot by both radiation and convection.
