Metal is a good conductor of heat. Wood is not a good conductor of heat, although I wouldn't exactly call it an insulator of heat either.
If you put a wooden spoon halfway into a pot of hot water, the dry part of the spoon will not get hot even though the wet half will be as hot as the water is, if you leave it in for a while.
But if you heat up a wooden spoon and keep it dry, let's say by leaving it on a baking sheet and baking it in the oven along with some cookies, you may be able to grab the spoon and pick it up even though it's hot. There's no way you could do that with a metal spoon because you'd "feel" the heat more with metal. The heat would be conducted from the metal spoon to your skin, but a wooden spoon won't conduct much heat to you.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a metal spoon feel hotter than a wooden spoon when in hot water?
Metal conducts heat better than wood, so the metal spoon quickly absorbs the heat from the hot water, making it feel hotter to the touch compared to the wooden spoon, which does not conduct heat as efficiently.
Why would medel spoon be hotter in the boiling water then the wooden spoon?
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.

Why does a metal spoon handle gets hot in soup but a plastic spoon handle does not?
A metal spoon handle gets hot in soup because metal is a good conductor of heat, meaning it can easily transfer heat from the hot soup to the handle. On the other hand, plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so it does not easily transfer heat from the soup to the handle of a plastic spoon. This is why a metal spoon handle will feel hotter to the touch compared to a plastic spoon handle when used in hot soup.
Why is the handle of the spoon hotter than the outside of the cup?
There are two reasons. The surface area of the handle is less than that of the cup so it dissipates heat less quickly. In addition the metal of the spoon conducts heat more readily than the ceramic of the cup.
