Is a metal saucepan good insulator?

Here's why:

* Metals are good conductors of heat. This means they easily transfer heat from one area to another. A metal saucepan readily conducts heat from the stovetop to the food inside.

* Insulators resist heat transfer. They work by trapping heat and preventing it from moving easily.

Therefore, a metal saucepan is designed to transfer heat, making it a good conductor, not an insulator.

Think of it this way: if you want to keep something hot, you'd use an insulated container, not a metal one.
