Metal is a good conductor of heat. Wood is not a good conductor of heat, although I wouldn't exactly call it an insulator of heat either.
If you put a wooden spoon halfway into a pot of hot water, the dry part of the spoon will not get hot even though the wet half will be as hot as the water is, if you leave it in for a while.
But if you heat up a wooden spoon and keep it dry, let's say by leaving it on a baking sheet and baking it in the oven along with some cookies, you may be able to grab the spoon and pick it up even though it's hot. There's no way you could do that with a metal spoon because you'd "feel" the heat more with metal. The heat would be conducted from the metal spoon to your skin, but a wooden spoon won't conduct much heat to you.
The metal spoon is a better thermal conductor.
the metal spoon is made of metal giving off radiation unlike the wooden spoon which does nothing Metal gives off radiation and the wood does not. also u would have less of a chance of it catching on fire if u use a metal one tha u woul dif u use a wooden one.

wood is unable to absorb and retain cold (or heat) as efficiently as metal as it is soft and porous lacking in density.
It is a good absorber. Metals can absorb the temperature around quickly.
The metal spoon is a better thermal conductor.
because metal is a conductor which likes hot things
Metals have specific heats higher than wood.
to stir things. You would use a wooden spoon instead of a metal spoon because metal spoons are not good with pans.

Wooden handles do not get hot and burn your hand.
because metal is bindable and wood is a solid
Because metal conducts heat faster than wood. The temperature of the water will be carried up to your hand much more efficiently by the metal spoon than a wooden spoon.
your body is warmer than a metal or wooden when the spoons aren't heated up but when they are the spoons are warmer
A curry spoon is a large wooden or sometimes metal spoon used to stir curry.
There are two reasons. The surface area of the handle is less than that of the cup so it dissipates heat less quickly. In addition the metal of the spoon conducts heat more readily than the ceramic of the cup.
A wooden spoon, somtimes a whisk, or knife, metal spoon, or a fork.
Normally, any spoon you put in ice cream(wooden or metal) becomes cold.
