I wear long sleeves and oven mitts when handling heavy hot items in the kitchen.
It would get too hot
It is conduction that will transfer heat from a cooking pot to the handle.
Chinese hot pot is a boiling pot of water or stock with some chilly flavour. you then add meat, dumplings or vegetable (or anything else) and cook it in te water. it is very yummy!
Within the pot handle (solid) heat transfer is by conduction. Within a persons hand heat is transferred namely by conduction. Heat convection does occur by motion of the body fluids but it's slower. When you grab the hot handle of a pot you can immediately feel the sensation of "hot".Heat conduction is the mechanism responsible for this fast transfer.
The average size of a stock pot is about two quarts. However, sizes vary greatly! I have a two gallon stock pot!
A stock pot is simply a very large pot. It is commonly used to make large quantities of soup, stock and anything really.
Wood because it does not melt and/or get really hot. Metal, when heated, gets super hot. Plastic, when heated, melts.
To handle cold objects try using a towel, and for the hot objects especially when they are really hot like when you cooked something try using a pot holder or a mug if you're gonna make a coffee, tea, etc
No. The stock should be cooled as quickly as possible. The pot is not sterile. Commercial sterility would only be achieved through extreme heat or heating under pressure. The pot is also not hermetically sealed (like a can), which means that microorganisms can find their way into the pot.
When you hand touches the hot handle of a pot. When you touch an ice cube and it melts in your hand. When the spoon touches hot water and the spoon gets hot. When the spoon touches cold ice cream and the ice cream melts.
