Why is copper not often used for pans?

Copper has a good conductivity rate and dissipates heat rapidly and evenly across it's surface.Copper is used because it is a good conductor of heat. Copper will react to certain food acids such as tomato sauce, so pans are usually made from stainless steel that is clad, or covered on the surface that sits on the heating source... the stove. Copper also reacts to eggs.. try to whip egg whites in a copper bowl and you will spend a good amount of time doing it. This is because the copper reacts with the egg and breaks down the surface tension making it difficult to form "peaks".

What kitchen items are made from alloys?

A lot of them. Let's look at a few applications. Steel is an alloy of iron. It only takes a little bit of carbon to make steel from iron, but it is an alloy. There are no metal knives anymore that are not made of some kind of alloy. Cast iron pots and pans are generally not alloys (they're pretty much all iron), but all stainless steel is an alloy (steel plus a bit of chromium). The majority of aluminum pans are not alloys but are pretty much pure aluminum. There are some exceptions, however. With the exception of most all-aluminum cookware (and some all-copper pieces), almost all the metal in the kitchen is an alloy of some kind.
