Material
Tile pan material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the heat source to the pan
bottom. Some widely used pan materials are:
Aluminum Excellentheatconductor, Some tbod ,Mll cause it to darken or pit. Anodizing improves stain resistance.
Often used as a bottom coating to improve the heating of other pan materials,
Copper Excellent heat conductor. Discolors easily, requires constant polishing. Often used as a bottom coating
to improve the heating of other pan materials.
Stainless Steel Slow heat eonductor. Develops hot spots and produces uneven cooking results. Durable, attractive,
easy to cleanand stain resistant. Will distribute heat better if other metals (aluminum or copper)are
combined or sandwiched together as a bottom coating.
Cast Iron Slow heat conductor. Cooks evenly once temperature is reached. Ileaxy. Needs seasoning to make
cleaning easier and to prevent sticking and rusting.
Glass or Ceramic Slow heat conductors. Easy to clean. Not recommended for solid elements or ceramic glass surfaces.
Some types mW only be used in the oven.
Porcelain-Enamel Glass like substance fused to metal. Heating characteristics depend on base material (usually
aluminum,stainless steel, carbon steel or cast iron). Available in colors and easy to clean.
