Thermoplastic spoons may melt (depending on cooking temperature and specific plastic), however thermoset plasticspoons can work very well for cooking. I actually have several thermoset plastic cooking spoons that I use all the time with no problems.

Why does a metal spoon get hot in a pot of boiling water?
'nothing, it's like putting a spoon in a hot soup' Wrong ^ As the metal spoon is a better conductor of heat than the air the hot water (or soup) and the spoon as a larger surface area with the air (or active sight) it transfers heat to the surrounding faster, thus cooling the hot liquid faster.

Because plastic isn't as good a conductor of heat as metal.
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.
