The cooking utensils have a low specific heat and high conductivity because to heat faster and if heat is high then we can cook faster.

HELLO THERE!
 
We need such cooking utensils that gets heated faster, consuming a less amount of energy and saving time.
 
Suppose there are two materials A and B. When we say that A has more specific heat capacity than B, we mean that, more amount of heat is required in case of A to rise its temperature by a same amount than in B. Thus, the cooking utensil must have a low specific heat capacity, so that with a less amount of heat, its temperature rises to a greater extent (which saves energy).
 
Also, the material having high conductivity conducts heat and rises it’s temperature faster, hence a cooking utensil must have a high conductivity, so that it conducts the heat given fast and gets hot fast, to increase the speed of cooking.
 
That’s all!
Thanks...
