Solution

Metals are a good conductor of heat due to the presence of free electrons in it whereas non-metals are a bad conductor of heat.
It is difficult to hold a metallic pan without a plastic or wooden handle because they are made of metal which is a good conductor of heat.
If the metallic pan has a wooden handle, it will help to hold it because it is non-metal which is a poor conductor of heat.
Hence we cannot hold a metallic pan without plastic or wooden handle.
