Is metal a heat conductor or insulator?
Metal is a good heat conductor because its atoms are closely packed together, allowing the transfer of heat energy through the material. This is why metal objects, like pots and pans, heat up quickly when exposed to heat sources.
Why copper a good metal to use for pans?

Teflon (a non-stick coating used on cooking pans) is a good conductor of heat but not of electricity and it is not a metal.
Is enamel a good conductor of heat?
