Solution:

A cooking pot should absorb minimum heat and conduct maximum heat A cooking pot should easily transfer heat to its content (high conductivity) and not requiring too much heat to get to the right temperature (low specific heat), because it would reduce efficiency, since you would spend more energy heating the pot instead of the content.
