the copper pot heats up faster because it is a better conductor

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermal conductivity: It is the ability of a material to conduct heat. If the heat transfers occur at lower rate in a material then it has a lower thermal conductivity. If the heat transfers occur at higher rate in a material then it has a higher thermal conductivity.

Chef uses a copper pot instead of an aluminum pot because copper is a better conductor of heat as compared to aluminum. Copper has a higher thermal conductivity than aluminum. Copper is better in heat transfer.
