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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Cooking pots are made of metals like aluminum or stainless steel because they are durable, conduct heat well, and are easy to clean. Handles on cooking pots are covered with wood or plastic to prevent heat transfer from the metal to the handle, reducing the risk of burns when handling the pot. Wood and plastic are also heat-resistant materials that provide a comfortable grip while cooking.

Answer 4

Cooking pots are made of metal which is a conductor so that they can can conduct heat and cook food.While the handle is made of plastic or wood which is an insulator of heat so that when hold the handle the heat doesnt pass to us and so we dont get burnt
the metal conducts heat to allow food to cook whereas the plastic doesn't allowing you to lift the pan
Cooking pots are often made of metal because 1) metal conducts heat well: that evens out the cooking of the food, so food doesn't get burned or scorched so easily

2) Metal is durable: cooking utensils get banged around and dented a lot, so metal pots last longer

3) Most metals have a high melting point: you can cook faster at a higher temperature.

Cooking pots have wood or plastic or Pyrex handles, because Pyrex and wood and plastic do NOT conduct heat very well. They are heat insulators. The wood/plastic/Pyrex handles help keep you from burning your hands on a hot cooking pot.

Answer 5

The metal conducts heat. Adding plastic or wood handles keeps one from burning themselves.

Answer 6

Bad conductors of heat such as wood, bamboo and Bakelite are used to make the handles of utensils so that they do not get hot and are easy to hold even when the vessel is hot.

Answer 7

Because plastic is a poor conductor of electricity and heat so, we use plastic handles

Answer 8

Heat insulators & to reduce slippage (increase friction).

Answer 9

so u don't burn yourselves
