For my part:
Will I burn my hand or not? During week 1 we learned that metals are heating up quickly due to low specific heat capacity. Therefore, pots made of metals with plastic handles are easier to use. The metal has a low heat capacity, and the plastic handles have a high heat capacity. So, upon exposure to the same amount of heat, the pot gets much hotter, but the handles remain at a temperature that you can tolerate when you grab onto them. Well… I guess it is too hot to handle unless I wear mittens! 🙂
