Question 1 Report
Fig. 1 shows a kitchen saucepan.
It is made to last. The base keeps it still. It is used a lot.
The MDF was picked for its look and feel. The metal has a smooth finish. It is cheap to make in large numbers. It is light but strong. The handle is shaped to fit the hand. The sides are straight and even.
The copper can be shaped using turning or filing. The finished product is expected to have a working life of several years.
(a) Name a suitable metal for the body of the saucepan. [1]
(b) State one property of this metal that makes it suitable for a saucepan. [1]
Answer Details
(a) A suitable metal for the body of the saucepan is stainless steel. [1] Aluminium is also an acceptable choice.
(b) One property that makes this metal suitable for a saucepan:
Stainless steel is a good thermal conductor, allowing heat to transfer efficiently from the hob through the base and walls of the pan to the food inside. [1] It is also resistant to corrosion, meaning it will not rust or react with acidic foods, making it safe for cooking and easy to clean. If aluminium is chosen, its key advantage is being lightweight while still conducting heat effectively.
