It’s interesting that water is often boiled in metal pots. There are several kinds of metal pots. Aluminum, stainless steel, and copper are often used for pots to boil water in.

Water boils in pots with different metals because only temperature matters for boiling water. If the water is 100c at sea level, it will boil.
