You need to define "metal"- since different metals have VERY different melting points. Mercury is melted at room temp. Gallium can melt in boiling water. Lead and tin are mixed as solder, and melt at fairly low temps. Gold and silver melt at moderate low temps. Aluminum is higher. Steels and hi temperature tungsten alloys will glow white hot before melting. So- which metal did you have in mind

What things are hot enough to melt metals?

That depends on the metal: mercury is already liquid at room temperature, gallium will melt in your hand, many alloys will melt in hot water, but other metals do have to be heated to thousands of degrees before they melt.

What kind of handle would be best for a metal pot and why?

Wood because it does not melt and/or get really hot. Metal, when heated, gets super hot. Plastic, when heated, melts.


What metal can get hot enough to glow but not melt?

One metal that can get hot enough to glow but not melt is tungsten. Tungsten has a high melting point of 3,422°C (6,192°F), allowing it to reach temperatures where it glows brightly without actually melting. This property makes tungsten ideal for applications like light bulb filaments and welding electrodes.
