Just use more gold

Just lift

Not that low

Its best in 1 way: 0 reactivity

the thermal conductivity of copper is 20 times that of stainless steel. Copper is one of the most heat conductive metals and stainless steel is one of the worst, They actually build it into safes to make them blow torch resistant.

Doesn't really matter when the conductivity in aluminum is about 3x better than either

7cm is 70mm, it's the metric system

The point is if you're a billionaire patent troll like NathanM, you can treat variables like the size of the burners built into your stove as trivially adjustable. For the rest of us plebs, we have more control over which pan we buy than what stove came with our apartment.

yeah when you want to buy a 14x10 oval shaped burner ring to match the bottom of my french oven, oh and an entirely new range top to fit the new burner, let me know. for now I'll continue using copper which don't give a shit about having the size of the flame match EXACTLY to the shape of the bottom of the pan, because, hey, it actually conducts heat

I've never used an electric stove in my life

sorry guys, cast iron just isn't very good

As we can see here, there is really no reason to use cast iron

What's your excuse, /ck/?

>That's the big downside: it doesn't spread heat around.
But that's wrong, cast iron is absolutely shit-tier at spreading heat around
