It's literally a psyop
Idiot used super glue instead of thermal paste.
Welded together would be better.
Good luck lol
Nah that's e6000, it dries more rubbery than superglue
Will it still offgas when placed in fire?
According to the MSDS sheet, it releases a "gentle, pleasing odor of cinnamon buns" when heated to temperatures above 600F, and also releases "micro-vitamins" into the air that your body can readily absorb.
Did they copy that from the msds of the Asbestos cigarette filters?
Because OP uses their Brain in unusual ways.
Through an incredible use of free will...
Thanks, Inspector!
Likely using dictation on an iPhone with "Penny" in contacts.
I can think of two akshullies, but I won't say them.
Look, you either keep these kinda thoughts to yourself, or expect me to politely ask you to indulge deeply all of your brain topic dump tendencies.
So how about them ackshuallies?
I think in this situation, you’d offer a penny for their thoughts?
You just had to go and put your two cents in, huh?
Inflation’s brought it to like 25.6¢ iirc
You couldn’t coin a better pun than that?
probably pennies are mostly zinc, and they are still having to heat the pan through the pennies, so it should actually take slightly longer?
The thing people like about cast iron is the heat retention on the bottom due to the thickness, some recipes rely on that latent heat. So thicker may be better.
AKSCHULLY I'm gonna need you to tell us those
a longer copper rod is less conductive than a shorter copper rod, because thermal resistance grows with the length that the heat has to travel. so adding copper pieces to the material adds no heat transfer abilities, it just makes the pathlength longer that heat has to travel, so it travels less well and has actually higher thermal resistance in total.
Hell yeah
Do tell us !
copper-plated zinc
For most of them, yes. But if you get old enough pennies, they'll be pure copper.
However, it's easy to tell just looking at this that many of these pennies have the newer design, so they're definitely only copper plated.

mostly zinc tho
Depends on the year, no?
Those should have been pasted with solder instead, right?
Solder is mostly tin, sometimes combined with lead. It would melt the very second you put it on the stove.
Toss it in the dishwasher!
The orange is called "flavor spots"
A penny for your pots?
This should make the thermal conductivity worse no?
Yes it would. Adding material generally makes thermal conductivity worse. There is no material with negative thermal resistance, so adding more will always increase thermal resistance by at least a bit.
The only exception is 3D geometries, where an increase in surface area due to the extra material can outweigh the effect of the added material, and lead to a net increase in thermal transfer.
This can lead to a paradoxical effect, where ADDING insulation around a pipe leads to HIGHER transfer than with less insulation material, because the added material increases the exterior diameter, and therefore surface area.
(Heatsinks are also a good example. It is more material than just the component by itself, but increases surface area by such a massive amount that it more than outweighs the added material)
Not only that, you add two changes in material on top (copper > glue > pan), which add even more resistance
You are not supposed to out gloves on infants, only mittens, because it makes their hands colder.
i first saw the thumbnail for this image and thought it was beans. because beans make gas.
Feeling weird/outed this is a shitpost. Just last year searched for copper bottomed carbon steel pan for this exact reason. Didn't find anything, but I still like the idea. Carbon steel is pretty shit at conduction.
Copper pans exist but they can be a pain to cook with. The high thermal conductivity means they heat up much faster than you expect, so it's easier to accidentally burn stuff, and they also cool down much more quickly once off the heat which can also be annoying. Plus you need to worry about oxide formation and food sticking much more than you do with steel pans.
Also can’t cook acidic foods like tomatoes and vinegar if the copper pan is unlined. Since the copper will leech into the food.
