Ceramic is an insulator, where stainless steel is a conductor of heat. Heat transfers more rapidly through stainless steel than through ceramic.

Why does a ceramic bowl keep oatmeal hot longer than a stainless steel bowl?

Metals including stainless steel are excellent conductors of heat. The heat in the oatmeal will be absorbed by the metal bowl and then lost to anything cooler it's in contact with, such as the table top, and the surrounding atmosphere, much faster than would happen with a ceramic bowl. That is why "heat sinks" used in electronics, notably computers, are made of metal.


How do you remove a ceramic bowl wedged in a stainless steel pan?

Put some ice in the ceramic bowl and let it sit for a while then put the bottom of the metal in hot water. Don't let the hot water get to the ceramic. The ice will shrink the ceramic and the hot water will expand the metal. They should come apart.

Should a dog drink from a metal bowl?

The most common type of bowl is the stainless steel bowl, mainly because they are durable and easy to clean. A dog can drink out of any sort of bowl really; it doesn't have to be stainless steel. Ceramic bowls are also durable, easy to clean, but weigh more than stainless steel which help keep the bowl from being pushed around or tipped over.

Is stainless steel a conductor or insulator?

Stainless steel is a conductor, but isn't a very good one. That is why it is used to make utensils, it doesn't heat up quicky, meaning it would take longer for the heat from a hot bowl of soup to reach the end of the spoon, not burning your fingers. Again, it is one of the worst conductors, but it still can conduct energy.


Why did the ginger garlic paste turn into green color after grinding in stainless steel jar when it had to turn into garlic color?

The ginger garlic paste may have turned green after grinding in a stainless steel jar because of a reaction between the garlic, ginger, and the metal in the bowl. This is also why a person should never mix mayonnaise with other foods in a stainless steel bowl. The acid mixes with the metal to form a toxic substance.

Clorox or anything with a similar composition will cause stainless steel to rust. Use a water/vinegar mix or a water/peroxide mix to clean anything with stainless steel. (Vinegar is also good for cleaning kitchens since it reacts with oils and fats.)
