Answers (1)

Copper base transfers heat quickly to food from the bottom and also needs a low quantity of heat as compared to steel because, as compared to steel, copper has higher conductivity and low specific heat. Thus, heat is supplied from burner to food in utensil quickly and in a large amount when the base is copper.
