Question
Write scientific reason.
The stainless steel vessels in Kitchen have copper coating on the bottom.
Solution
The stainless steel vessels in the Kitchen have a copper coating on the bottom because copper is a good conductor of heat and electricity; by using copper cookware, any meal can be prepared in a perfect and gentle way. They are the best pots and pans for cooking and roasting. This is particularly due to the fact that copper has excellent material properties and is cheap metal as compared to other metals.
