Stainless steel is a poor conductor of heat and disperses it quickly. Any Stainless pot is going to incorporate Aluminum to some degree, as it is an excellent conductor of heat. The cap that you see on the base of a stainless pot contains a core of aluminum. This gives you excellent heat distribution across the bottom. You will have heat dissipation up the walls, as they are only stainless. Higher quality Stainless cookware, such as All Clad or Calphalon Tri Ply, contain a fully encapsulated core of aluminum. You will see no cap on the bottom, as the the whole pot has a core of aluminum. Equaling excellent heat conductivity, distribution and retention throughout the entire pan.
