A poor conductor of heat is usually refereed as an insulator, the reason being is because Metal conceives over thousands of particles, these particles then vibrate between one another causing it to spread dramatically, this process speeds up the heating, enabling it to be hotter then usual.

However,

None-Metals are called "Insulators" Insulator meaning the particles are either too close to each other or spread out further, a wooden spoon can be described to be a insulator because it doesn't conduct with heat.
