Solution

Thermoplastics do not conduct heat, but at high temperatures they melt and de-mold. Heat will not be conducted from one end of a thermoplastic to another end.

Yes, handles of utensils are made up thermosetting plastics as utensils are used for heating purpose and there handles should be made up of a material that does not conduct heat. Also it should not get de-molded on heating.
