Best Answer

Only conductive instruments conduct heat, depending on the material of the instrument. E. g. metal is a good conductor, thus wouldn't be heat resistant.

If heat resistant means "still functioning despite the fact that it is hot" then many instruments made with metal parts are heat resistant. Metals have great dimensional stability up to their Curie temperature.

Heat resistant instruments are made (usually intentionally) of materials that are not affected (much) by the heat they are expected to endure when in use.

How do you describe heat resistant glass for cooking vessels?

You can describe a heat resistant glass for cooking vessels by saying that it does not break under high temperatures. This is because it is made with a chemical element called boron. Pyrex is an example of heat resistant glassware.
