The high reflectivity of saucepans is an accidental happening. Indeed, they would be more effective if they were black.

Most of them are made of either stainless steel, or of aluminum.

Actually aluminum is a poor choice for pans in which fats or oils are heated, because the aluminum is porous (slightly) to these materials, and when they have seeped through, they char badly.

What raw materials are used to make saucepans?

We often see aluminum used to make saucepans. It is a really good cooking surface, it will accept a Teflon coating, and is also one of the best conductors of heat among all metals. Note that cast iron, stainless steel and copper clad cookware are available. So are some other materials, too. Each of the materials has different properties that make it a good choices for cooking, and debate still continues over which particular metal is better. Many consider that the choice of a given material comes down to trading off characteristicsIt might be noted that there are glass and ceramic saucepans, too, but it was metal that was asked about.


Why do saucepans have steel sides?

Saucepans have steel sides primarily for their durability and heat conductivity properties. Steel is a strong material that can withstand high temperatures and is less likely to warp or deform over time. Additionally, steel has excellent heat conductivity, allowing for even distribution of heat throughout the saucepan, which is crucial for cooking food evenly. The steel sides also provide a smooth surface that is easy to clean and maintain.
