Because the plastic handle act as a thermal insulator, to avoid burns on your skin.
Typically, saucepans are made with a heat-resistant plastic handle, because metal handles conduct heat, making it easier to get burned if the cook isn't careful.
Plastic is not suitable for making saucepans because it cannot withstand high temperatures. When exposed to heat, plastic can melt, deform, or release harmful chemicals into food. Metal or ceramic materials are more appropriate for saucepan construction due to their heat resistance and durability.
Saucepans are related to Llanelli because Llanelli was historically known for its tinplate industry, which produced items like saucepans. The town was a hub for metal industry, hence the association with the production of saucepans.
Because metals tend to be very effective at conducting heat. As such a metal handle will tend to get very hot as the pan gets hot. Obviously this increases the risk to the user, so saucepans commonly have handles made of a material that is a poor conductor of heat.
An IRONMONGER sells metal goods e.g. saucepans, nails etc.
In my opinion i would say plastic,stainless steel and wood
Obviously, not all saucepans have plastic handles, but most saucepans have insulating handles - wood is another common material - so that they can be safely picked up when the rest of the saucepan is hot.

No, saucepans have plastic handles because the plastic doesnt absorb as much heat as the metal, making you able to pick up the pan without burning yourself
Thermosetting plastics such as polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride better know as 'Bakelite' and some others.
The handle is made out of plastic.

Skillets tend to be made solely of metal, meaning they are oven safe compared to plastic handled saucepans.
Hard plastic is used in some saucepans and trays because they are bad conductors of heat. That means that they will stay cooler for longer. Whereas a metal handle would get hot and cause injury if it has been left on the heat for a long time. However many people still prefer metal handles because they are more robust.
