Copper is good conductor of heat as compare to stainless steel. Hence it (Copper) can heat early as compare to stainless steel.

Thats why, use of utensils having copper bottoms requires less time for cooking.

Will copper scratch stainless steel?

Yes, copper is softer than stainless steel and can scratch it if rubbed against it with enough force. It's recommended to avoid using copper utensils or cleaning tools on stainless steel surfaces to prevent scratching.


What is the formula for Copper Sulphate for testing for presence of Stainless Steel?

The formula for Copper Sulphate is CuSO4. To test for the presence of stainless steel, you can immerse the suspected stainless steel object in a solution of Copper Sulphate. If the object is not stainless steel and contains iron, a red-brown coating of copper will form on the object due to a displacement reaction between iron and copper ions in the solution.


How does Copper Sulfate react to carbon steel?

Copper sulfate can react with carbon steel to cause corrosion, as it is a corrosive agent. This reaction can lead to the formation of copper deposits on the steel surface, which can accelerate rusting and degradation of the steel. It is important to avoid exposing carbon steel to copper sulfate solutions to prevent this reaction.


What is a copper kettle made of?

A copper kettle is typically made of solid copper, as the metal conducts heat efficiently for boiling water or brewing beverages. Some modern copper kettles may have a stainless steel or ceramic lining on the interior for food safety reasons and to prevent reaction with acidic liquids.


What is something shiny and conducts electricity well?

A metal such as silver or copper fits this description. These metals have high electrical conductivity and also exhibit a shiny appearance when polished.

Is revere ware aluminum?

Yes, Revere Ware generally is. They make different styles and types now, but the 'classic' Revere Ware is Stainless Steel with Copper Clad bottoms.


How do you clean bottom of revere ware pan?

As the bottom of Revere Ware pans are either copper or stainless steel Brasso is not indicated, but may work, I have never tried it. But I have been cleaning my Revere Ware pans for 30 years and below is the method I use to keep them bright. For the pans with copper bottoms you can purchase copper cleaner, I use Kleen King brand. If you prefer you can just dampen the copper sprinkle plain table salt on it, squeeze lemon juice on it and then scrub it, I frequently use this method when I am out of copper cleaner, it is the way my mother always cleaned the bottoms of her Revere Ware and they were always shiny bright. For the pans with stainless steel bottoms you can purchase stainless steel cleaner, once again I use Kleen King, which can be used on any stubborn spots on the exterior or interior of the stainless pots as well.


Are Revereware pots and pans made of aluminum or stainless steel?

I have been looking for an additional pot becasue I rec'd new REvere cookware for Christmas. I was tired of cleaning copper bottoms. According to the info on Rever's website, (non-copper bottom) the Tr-ply collection pots/pans are constructed of durable shiny stainless steel. The bottoms on the pans feature an encapsulated aluminum disk between 2 layers of stainless for quick even heat distribution. (From other sources, I have read that stainless by itself does not have even hest distibution.)


Is a coat hanger made of copper wire?

No it would not be made of copper as it oxidises green and you wouldn't want to get that over your clothes. It is usually made of stainless steel.

What is the thermal conductivity of a stainless pot compared to a copper-bottomed pot?

They're the same, actually. Copper-clad pots are always made out of stainless steel, so the pots are identical. The trick is that a copper-clad stainless pot absorbs heat better due to the copper cladding - the copper conducts heat better than stainless.

aluminum is the best, then copper then stainless steel


What is a tri-ply bottom cookware?

In most cases, tri-ply bottom cookware means just that - three ply material is used on the bottom of the cookware. Let's look at a pan and check it out. An aluminum pan is usually one ply. It's all aluminum. It's a good conductor of heat, and it works well. Some pans are copper on the bottom but have a stainless steel body (and interior). The copper and stainless make a two-ply construction. The copper conducts heat well (several tens of times better than stainless), and the stainless makes for an inert and long-wearing cooking surface. In try-ply, we usually see a stainless pan, a fat copper "disk" on the bottom, and another layer of stainless over the copper (which "seals it in" there). These pans are all stainless on the outside and inside. Stainless steel is extremely tough and resistant to corrosion. They wear forever. But stainless isn't a good conductor of heat. That little disk of copper sandwiched in between the stainless layers on the tri-plybottom makes the pan heat more quickly and cook more evenly.

What are advantages and disadvantages of copper-coated stainless steel water piping?

I cannot imagine any advantage of copper coating stainless? Stainless will not oxidize as readily as copper. I have uses lead coated copper flashing that was exposed to acid rain and bird droppings etc.
