Cooking utensils are made out of metal because metal is an excellent heat conductor. Metal also can withstand a lot higher temperatures then other materials, and doesn't burn.

In bygone days cooking vessels which sat over a flame were made of iron, steel or tin. Vessels which could go into the oven were usually made of glazed earthenware.

Later there were enameled metal pans; then along came aluminium.

Richer people could afford pans made of copper, a better conductor than iron or steel or aluminium.

Of course this modern age has brought along modern materials; some benefiting from the materials need for space explorations
Generally speaking, metals have high melting points. That means they won't melt when used at high temperatures during cooking. Additionally, the metals conduct heat fairly well, except in the case of stainless steel. The stainless pans have another metal "clad" onto them, and the cladding (aluminum or copper) represents metal with a fine ability to conduct heat. The cladding may be exposed, or may be "welded up" inside the bottoms of stainless steel vessels. Metal pans also stand up to wear as well as heat, and are tough and long lasting kitchen tools.
to start off you dont cook food in metallic utensils you cook food in pot's and pan's not in or on metal utensils not even when you cook on a grill will that be a utensil but that's just me I'm just saying
