A hot pan is a conductor of heat because it transfers heat efficiently from the heat source (stove) to the food being cooked. Conductors allow heat to flow through them easily due to the movement of particles within the material.
Insulator. If it was a conductor you wouldn't be able to pick a pan up off the stove.
A muffin pan is typically made of metal, which is a good conductor of heat. When placed in the oven, the metal muffin pan will conduct heat from the oven and help bake the muffins evenly.
Its a insulator
Plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so a plastic cup can be considered a good insulator. It will help to keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for longer periods of time compared to a material that is a good conductor like metal.
Cork is actually a poor conductor of heat due to its low thermal conductivity. This makes it a great insulator, helping to keep cold or hot temperatures from easily passing through it.
A frying pan would be a Conductor :)
No, a copper cooking pan is a conductor, not an insulator.

It is a poor conductor. I just tried it.
An aluminum pan is a conductor, which makes it useful for cooking, since it heats up when placed on a burner or over a flame.
If you mean "pot holders" or "oven mitts", no they are not conductive. They are made of cloth and filler material to insulate the hands from the heat of a hot pan when removing it from the oven or the stove top.

It depends on the material. If a frying pan is metal (which it is, usually) then it is definitely a conductor. There are poor conductors:ClothPaperWoodPlasticFoamPacking 'peanuts'Sheets & BlanketsRubberInsulationCeramicAnd Good Conductors:MetalHuman beingsWireOther metal products such as steelIn the long run, yes, a frying pan is definitely a conductor of heat.
