• Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and atomic number
29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical
conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a pinkish-orange color.

• Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, in proportions which can be varied to achieve varying
mechanical and electrical properties. It is a substitutional alloy: atoms of the two
constituents may replace each other within the same crystal structure.

• Silver is a chemical element with the symbol Ag (from the Latin argentum, derived from the
Proto-Indo-European h₂erǵ: "shiny" or "white") and atomic number 47. A soft, white,
lustrous transition metal, it exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity,
and reflectivity of any metal.

You might wonder,
"are copper cooking utensils and copper pans
safe?" The most critical disadvantage is that
untreated copper cookware used in acidic dishes
(tomatoes, vinegar) can result in copper leaching
away from the pan and into the food. Copper is a
toxic metal that should not be ingested.
Copper pans are a great heat conductor and
allow you to adjust temperatures precisely,
making them nice cookware for sauces and
other foods. While cooking with most copper
pans is safe, unlined copper cookware can
potentially leak copper into food, causing nausea
and health issues.

Health benefits of using brass utensils
“Water stored in a brass vessel increases
strength and immunity.” In addition, it also
helps pacify pitta (burning sensations,
aggression), increases haemoglobin
count, and improves the general condition
of your skin.

Brass requires a good deal of maintenance since
it is prone to a blackish
tarnish. Disadvantages of Brass Doors • These
doors can be scratched or dented which gives
bad look. Brass doors are suitable for only
interiors as they fade away in harsh weather
conditions.
In fact, it was a common belief that cooking and
eating in brass plates was beneficial for health.
However, eating in brass utensil was not that
harmful as compared to cooking. Brass easily
reacts with salt and acidic foods, when it is
heated. Hence, cooking in such utensils must be
avoided

Silver is a precious metal because it is rare and
valuable, and it is a noble metal because it
resists corrosion and oxidation, though not as
well as gold. Because it is the best thermal and
electrical conductor of all the metals, silver is
ideal for electrical applications.
Silverware is known to have a cooling effect on
the body, and it also smoothens digestion and
helps improve the metabolism in the body.
Keeps food fresh: Research suggests that, food
or drink stores in silver utensils last for a longer
duration. They kill the microbes and holds their
growth resulting in fresh food.

• Calls for a high level of service skills, hence more
labor cost.
• More staff required.
• Low seat turnover.
• Slow service.
• Silver is quite inert, but has a lower electrode
potential than gold and so does react with some
foods and indeed the mouth, producing a mild
metallic taste. ... This made silver-plated cutlery
even more affordable, and so the middle class
could have silver, and eat with dignity.

• Copper bottom vessels have also become quite common now and these retain heat. Chefs
across the world, therefore, use copper vessels in making dishes where temperature
control is vital. Brass or peetal too is very popular in India for making cooking vessels. ...

• Brass and copper are mostly a more cost effective option – but this comes with a price.
Both are arguably not as durable as sterling silver. As such, they can tarnish and discolour
at a quick rate and when this happens, they can leave unsightly black and green marks on
your skin

• Though silver wire is roughly 7 percent more conductive than a copper wire of the same
length, silver is a significantly rarer metal than copper. ... Silver wire, however, is generally
reserved for more sensitive systems and specialty electronics where high conductivity over
a small distance is prioritized.
