Pots and pans
Pots and pans rarely contain minerals. However, they DO contain metals, most commonly iron, aluminum and copper.
Copper bottom pots and pans conduct heat quickly and evenly, making them ideal for cooking tasks that require precise temperature control. The copper layer at the bottom helps distribute heat evenly, reducing hot spots and ensuring that food cooks more evenly. Copper also reacts to changes in temperature quickly, giving the cook greater control over the cooking process.
