Copper is good conductor of heat as compared to stainless steel utensils. So if you have the base of copper, then heat will rapidly and evenly spread across the utensil. But then, why you do not use the utensils made of copper only ? Because, if there is acidic food cooked in copper utensils, the copper salts are formed, witch are poisonous. So we have advantages of both copper and stainless steel. Also it looks good.

What type of metal can be used for utensils used on induction-type heating systems?

Utensils for induction heating systems must be made from ferromagnetic metals, which include cast iron and stainless steel with magnetic properties. These materials can efficiently interact with the magnetic field produced by induction cooktops, generating heat directly within the utensil. Non-magnetic metals like aluminum or copper will not work unless they are combined with a magnetic base. Always check for induction compatibility when purchasing utensils for this cooking method.


What is gold tone stainless steel?

Gold tone stainless steel is a type of metal that has a stainless steel base with a gold-colored finish. The gold tone is achieved through a process called ion plating, where a thin layer of gold-colored material is bonded to the stainless steel using an electric current. This creates a durable and affordable alternative to solid gold jewelry.
