You purchase a new pot that's composed of both stainless steel and aluminum. Chef A says the aluminum was added to fortify the soft consistency of the stainless steel. Chef B says the aluminum was added to improve heat conduction. Who is correct?

Question

Question 16 options:

A)

Chef B is correct.

B)

Neither chef is correct.

C)

Chef A is correct.

D)

Both chefs are correct.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) Neither chef is correct.

While aluminum is used in cooking pots to improve heat conduction due to its excellent thermal conductivity, stainless steel is already known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, but it's not soft. Therefore, the reasoning given by Chef A about fortifying the consistency of stainless steel is not accurate, as stainless steel is a strong material. Thus, neither chef's statement is correct.
