Introduction
Frying pan is a kind of cookware which can be commonly found in the kitchen. It is typically sized 8 to 12 inches in diameter with a long handle and a flat bottom. A frying pans an important food-preparation tool because it is mainly used for frying and searing food over high heat. Therefore, a conventional frying pan should not be warped easily and should be able to conduct heat evenly. Choosing the right and suitable materials to make a frying pan can help task into an exercise in success. The most suitable material is going to be selected through comparisons among copper and aluminum alloys, which are commonly used in designing frying pan.
This report is consisted of three parts. The first part is the introduction and objection. Second part is the findings and analyses through comparing two kinds of materials and the conclusion will be the last part.
Objective
People normally pick copper, cast iron, and aluminum alloys as the raw material for making a frying pan because of its mechanical properties. This report is going to find out the most
