Question

Handles of cooking utensils are made of wood, plastic or bakelite.

Answer 1

Utensils made of metals are good conductors of heat and they absorb heat quickly. If the handles of such utensils are also made of metals, one might get hurt while holding them. Therefore, the handles are made up of insulators like wood, plastic or bakelite, which are poor conductors of heat and do not get heated up easily, and so we can hold the utensils comfortably.
