Why are cooking pots made of metals and why are their handles covered with wood or plastics?
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.
