Why does a saucepan used in cooking has a low heat capacity?

i think the sauce pan used in cooking has a low heat capacity because as it is a solid the transfer of heat will be more quick through conduction(transfer of heat between two stationary objects). That's why it have a low heat capacity.

Is hoisin sauce and plum sauce the same?

Why does the sauce pan handle don't get hot?

Because wood is not a good conductor of heat. The molecules in wood are not very close to each other; therefore the heat cannot travel through the molecules and you can't feel the heat.

Metal is a good conductor of heat because the molecules are very tightly packed together, so the heat can travel through easily.

Hope this helps

Can you put saucepan in an oven?

Whether a saucepan can be used in an oven usually depends on the type of material from which the pan's handles are made. If the pan has a wooden or plastic handle, it should not be used in an oven. Most commercially manufactured saucepans have heat resistant handles, and may be used safely at baking temperatures up to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If there is any doubt as to the material of the handles, do not use the pan with higher temperatures - broiling, for instance, might not be safe.

Why are saucepan usually made out of metal?

In general, metals are tough, useful materials that are, in general, fairly good conductors of heat. Metals, for the most part, will not be deformed by the heat of cooking, and, because they conduct heat across their surfaces, they can be used to cook in.

If, for example, and aluminum pan is used to prepare something like, say, scrambled eggs, we apply the heat to the bottom of the pan, add our eggs in a short time, and they'll cook up nicely. The heat that is applied to the bottom is fairly evenly transferred all across the bottom of the pan, and the eggs cook fairly evenly. Additionally, the modest amount of heat required to cook the eggs will not cause the pan to be adversely affected. That pan holds its shape and maintains its strength quite well. This makes the application of aluminum as a material to make pans out of a good idea. Certainly other metals can be used, but the same basic principles apply. It's just that there are trade-offs when using aluminum, stainless steel, copper, cast iron, or anything else.

What is a browning sauce?

Why do metal handles on a saucepan get hot even though its not touching the flame?

What is the best material for saucepan?

A saucepan should be made out of a metal that conducts heat very well, that doesn't react with the food to make it taste differently and that isn't too expensive. Copper is one of the best conductors of heat but if you want a pan made fully out of copper it would cost a fortune. Aluminum is also a metal that conducts heat very well and isn't too expensive. Stainless steal is a good metal because it is tough, so withstands dishwashers and damages. It is non-reactive which means certain acidic foods won't be discolored, which may be the case with aluminum pans. A solution to this would be a stainless steal outside and have a copper or aluminum core. This way it still conducts heat well, doesn't cost too much and because it only has an aluminum core, the metal wont change the food.
