It's Because of the conduction. The heat comes from the saucepan is conducted by the spoon, and when it is transferred the spoon will start heating up.

What does covering a saucepan handle with plastic help to prevent?
It prevents the conduction of heat or even conduction of electric current shock in electric saucepan.
What is an example of a conductor for conduction?
A metal spoon touching a hot pan. The pan heats the spoon. The spoon serves as a conductor of heat. This is an example of conduction.
Is the movement of heatin a spoon as it heatedcby soup conduction or convection?
Conduction.
What are the uses of conduction?
a mtal spoon
When a metal spoon with temperature of 20 is placed into a cup of water with a temperature of 90 the spoon will heat up this is an example of?
Conduction
What is an exanple of conduction?
an example of conduction is a metal spoon in a cup of hot water...
How does a spoon get hot in hot water?
Conduction.
How is the energy transferred from the cooker to the liquid in the saucepan?
Conduction. The pan rests on the cooker top. Heat passes by direction conduction to the metal of the pan, and from the pan to the liquid.
Which kind of heat transfer takes place if you put a spoon in a cup of soup and the spoon gets hot to the touch?
Conduction if the spoon is a conductor
Why does energy transfer from a hob to a spoon?
The heat energy is transferred from the hob to the metal spoon through conduction; this is where particles that vibrate a lot due to their heat energy then 'pass on' these vibrations to the next adjacent particle which does the same and so on. Metals are a good conductor of heat so that is why the metal spoon gets hot, however, wood is not a good conductor of heat and so the wooden saucepan handle doesn't get hot.
When a spoon is left in a bowl of hot soup the spoons becomes hot how does heat travel in the spoon?
That is through 'conduction'
When a metal spoon is left in a hot cup of sour is that conduction?
Yes.
