Because if the handles were just metal, then the handles would get much hotter much faster than a rubber handle would. -Julie
B/c its a bit soft to grip, offers great friction and isolates a bit from the metal bar.

For safety reasons. For example, without the rubber, the metal part of the utensil could get hot which could burn the person using the utensil. It also protects from electrical shock.
Pliers are made of steel and as such will conduct heat -and electricity! However pliers whose handles are covered with rubber or plastic sleeves will be insulated against heat.
yes it can but if it has rubber on the handles it will melt
Steel with rubber insulated handles
AnswerBecause, it is a good insulator and won't conduct electricity. It is also flexible.It coated by rubber or plastic
I believe that rubber is the worst conductor of electricity. Rubber is amorphous. The atoms within the rubber are not aligned in any particular order, so electrons do not move between them easily. In fact, rubber is used to protect against being shocked by electricity, by having wires be covered by the rubber.
Wood is an Insulator. This is because It does not allow heat or electricity to flow through them very easily. This is why sauce pans have insulating handles like wood, plastic, and metals covered with tripple rubber covering
There are plenty of knives with stainless steel handles, but most have at least a small rubber grip for a strong hold.
add the handles with rubber
