The handle made of metal will be hotter, since metal conducts heat very well, and wood conducts heat very poorly.
It's cheaper and lighter than a metal handle would be.
A metal handle would get almost as hot as the pot, especially if you are cooking something for an extended time. Wood and plastic does not conduct heat as well as metal, so a wooden or plastic handle protects you from the heat while you cook.
Fair Question !! I can only assume that as metal shrinks when cooling, this would grip the wooden handle firmly, and reduce the risk of the handle coming loose when the tool is in use.
Metal conducts heat better than wood, so a metal spoon will absorb heat more quickly from the boiling water, making it hotter to the touch. On the other hand, wood is a poor conductor of heat, so a wooden spoon will not get as hot as quickly in the same boiling water.
Metal has a higher thermal conductivity than wood, meaning it can transfer heat more efficiently. This results in the metal bench quickly absorbing and retaining heat, making it feel hotter to the touch compared to wood, which is a less efficient conductor of heat.
No unless it has a wooden handle i which case the handle would have (dead) cells
to stir things. You would use a wooden spoon instead of a metal spoon because metal spoons are not good with pans.

if it was a plastic bottom, it would melt. if it was a metal handle, it would burn you.
In general, foam is a better insulator than metal, and so foam would be expected to keep water hotter longer under most normal circumstances.
Practically speaking a metal chair is a lot better for an overweight person than a wooden one because metal chairs is more able to support the overweight person than a wooden one.
I would want a plastic or rubber style handle because they don't conduct heat very well, therefore you have less of a chance of burns.
