Why doesn't a plastic spoon in a hot chocolate feel hot?

Most plastics, particularly the type used to make plastic spoons, have a very low thermal conductivity (that is: heat doesn't travel through them very well). The temperature of one end can be raised without having much effect on the other end.Plastic is a poor conductor of heat. But even a metal spoon in Hot Chocolate is only noticeably hot in the section that is submerged in the hot chocolate. Spoons have a relatively flat shape (and are officially a form of flatware) which dissipates heat easily.

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.

What is the property of a spoon when it is hot?

When a spoon is hot, it conducts heat well and can quickly transfer heat to other objects or ingredients it comes in contact with. This can make it useful for tasks like melting chocolate or butter. Additionally, a hot spoon can pose a burn risk if not handled carefully.
