If you left a medal spoon in a pot of boiling soup why would it burn someone's hand?
That would depend on what the spoon is made of. A metal spoon conducts heat - that's why cooking utensils are made of metal. We want our pots and pans to conduct heat efficiently from the stove to the food. Put a metal spoon in a boiling pot, and the spoon will very quickly heat up to 190 degrees or more. On the other hand, wood is a very good insulator. You can pick up a wooden spoon from a pot of boiling water and have no fear of burning yourself. The boiling water is at a temperature of 212 degrees fahrenheit, 100 degrees celsius. It cannot get any hotter until the pot boils dry. The wooden spoon will feel neither warm nor cool, because it does not conduct heat either way.

Is a wooden spoon a conductor or insulator?
Wood is an insulator. Think about it; when you put a wooden or plastic spoon in boiling water, does it burn your hand? No. This is because it slows the flow of heat from the water to your hand. I do not suggest trying the same thing with a metal spoon, which is a good conductor.
