Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom part of the cooking utensil or pan is painted black. The reason is that the black surface absorbs more heat and so the contents of utensil or pan get cooked rapidly if its bottom part is painted black.

Hence, by having black bottom and shiny inner surface we can utilise the maximum heat given to the utensil.
