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.
The pot heats up primarily through conduction when it is in direct contact with the heat source. As the stove burner or heat source transfers heat to the pot, the molecules within the pot begin to vibrate and increase in temperature. This process gradually heats up the pot before it transfers heat to the water through convection.
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.
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.
it holds in water?
The coffee pot holds 48 ounces.
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.
A hot pot is a kettle used in dorms to heat water, and to heat soups

A pot on a stove gives off radiant heat that heats up the pot and the food inside it. This heat is transferred through direct contact between the pot and the stove burner.

'heat up' the wax!!
The burner heats up when electricity or gas is supplied to it. This heat is then transferred to the bottom of the pot through conduction, causing the molecules in the pot to vibrate and generate heat, which cooks the food inside the pot.
