When you put water into a hot metal pan of equal mass, why does the pan cool down more than the water heats up ?

The specific heat of water is greater than that of the metal

Explanation:

When water is put into a hot metal pan of equal mass, we discover that the pan cools down more than the water heats up because heat is rapidly transferred from the pan to the water.

This happens because the specific heat capacity of water is much greater than that of the pan hence heat is more quickly transferred from the pan to the water.

hi my dude or dudette

while cooking a piece of 1/2 pound beef steak, a cast iron pan (2.4kg in weight) was heated 260 celsius.
