The wooden spoon will not be a conduct heat, or in other words, the heat will not affect this type of material. The metal spoon is a good conductor of heat and therefore, the heat will travel up the spoon and most likely burn your hand. And lastly, the plastic spoon, will not burn your hand but is a not good enough material to stir hot food in so it will most likely melt
