COOKING VESSELS HAVE THICK BASES, WHY?

Heat capacity depends on mass.
More the mass of a substance, more is the heat capacity.
That's why the cooking vessels have thick bases to absorb more heat and to tranfer more heat to the food for longer period of time.

What is Regelation?

The melting point of ice is 0°C at normal pressure but when you increase the pressure on ice it melts at the temperature below 0°C( i.e. melting point of ice decreases with pressure). When the pressure applied is released then water formed from ice starts freezing. This phenomenon is called REGELATION.
