Conduction.

Explanation:

Assuming heating element is in contact with the pot, since it is a solid-solid, conduction is the most effective way to transfer heat. Then from solid to liquid it must also be conduction. This is because, convection requires a bulk movement of fluid which cant happen with a solid pot.
