Why are the bottom layers of cooking vessels kept black in color?
(N/A) The bottom layers of cooking vessels are kept black in color because black surfaces are excellent absorbers of heat radiation. By absorbing maximum heat from the gas-stove flame,the vessel transfers more thermal energy to the food in a shorter amount of time,which makes the cooking process faster.
