ALUMINUM	-	Excellent	heat conductor.		Some types		of food
wiil cause	it to	darken	(Anodized	aluminum		cookware	resists
staining &	pitting).

COPPER - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.

STAINLESS STEEL - Slow heat conductor with uneven

cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

CAST IRON - A poor heat conductor however will retain

heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
