aluminum to darken. However, anodized aluminum cookware resists staining and
pitting.
• Copper
: An excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
• Stainless steel
: A slow heat conductor with uneven cooking performance but is
durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.
• Cast-Iron

• Enamelware
: Heating characteristics depend on the base material.
• Glass
: A slow heat conductor. Use only glass cookware that is specified for range
top cooking or oven use.
