- Cooking utensils – Heat transfers from the stove to the metal pot or pan, then to the food.
- Metal spoon in hot liquid – The spoon’s handle becomes warm because heat conducts from the hot end to the cooler end.
- Ironing clothes – Heat from the iron’s metal plate transfers directly to the fabric.
- Heating systems – In electric irons, kettles, or toasters, heat conducts through metal parts to warm the surface or water.
- Building insulation – Materials with low thermal conductivity (like foam or fiberglass) are used to reduce heat conduction and keep homes warm or cool.
