Cooking pots are made of metal which is a conductor so that they can can conduct heat and cook food.While the handle is made of plastic or wood which is an insulator of heat so that when hold the handle the heat doesnt pass to us and so we dont get burnt
the metal conducts heat to allow food to cook whereas the plastic doesn't allowing you to lift the pan
Cooking pots are often made of metal because 1) metal conducts heat well: that evens out the cooking of the food, so food doesn't get burned or scorched so easily
2) Metal is durable: cooking utensils get banged around and dented a lot, so metal pots last longer
3) Most metals have a high melting point: you can cook faster at a higher temperature.
Cooking pots have wood or plastic or Pyrex handles, because Pyrex and wood and plastic do NOT conduct heat very well. They are heat insulators. The wood/plastic/Pyrex handles help keep you from burning your hands on a hot cooking pot.
The metal conducts heat. Adding plastic or wood handles keeps one from burning themselves.
Bad conductors of heat such as wood, bamboo and Bakelite are used to make the handles of utensils so that they do not get hot and are easy to hold even when the vessel is hot.
Because plastic is a poor conductor of electricity and heat so, we use plastic handles
Heat insulators & to reduce slippage (increase friction).
so u don't burn yourselves
I need answer
Plastic
Plastics, precious metals, glass,etc.
metals are used for all sorts of things like; handles, machines, equipment and loads more.but if you can find the answer to why we use metals for these jobs then add your answer on because i want to know. :P
Most metals and most plastics are solid at 50 oC.

There are many different examples of what could be considered tough materials. These materials include rubbers, metals, and plastics for example.
Metal are mostly good conductors of heat
Conduction. Metals are very good conductors of heat/electricity. Wood and plastics are not.Because plastic and wood has no conductivity so the heat wont pass through it and wont burn the hand of a persons.Cooking utensils have wood or plastic handles primarily to prevent the cook from burning his/her hands. Wood and plastic conduct heat much less than metal.Metals are good conductors of heat. To stop burning your hand, plastic or wooden handles are used, which are not such good conductors of heat.Good thermal conductivity of metals means that metal handles get hot- plasic and wood arepoorer conductors of heat so are cooler.
Plastics and metals
Metals have metallic bonds which plastics lack.Plastics lack delocalised electrons that are found in metals.
