Hi
Why are cooking utensils is provided with handles made of plastic and wood?
The handles of most utensils are made of plastic and wood because plastic and wood are poor conductors of heat. We can easily hold the handle with bare hands even if the utensils are hot. This helps us to remove hot utensils from the flame.
If the handles are also made up of metals then they will also absorb heat and when we pick up a utensil by its handle, it can hurt us or we might have burnt.
