Why do many cooking pots have wooden handle?
Wooden handles on cooking pots do not get as hot as non-wooden handles, making them easier and safer to pick up and move them around.
Why do many mental cooking utensils have wooden handles?
The main reason that metal cooking utensils have wooden handles is to prevent you from burning yourself. Heat is easily transferred in metal. With a wooden handle, you have a very very very low chance of burning yourself. (Unless you touch the metal of course)

Is it better to use plastic or wooden cooking tools when frying?
It's better to use wooden while frying, because plastic will melt much easier. Wooden won't melt and can stand up to the heat and the oil that you're using to fry.
What property of metals led to the use of plastic or wood handles on many metal cooking?
Conduction. Metals are very good conductors of heat/electricity. Wood and plastics are not.Because plastic and wood has no conductivity so the heat wont pass through it and wont burn the hand of a persons.Cooking utensils have wood or plastic handles primarily to prevent the cook from burning his/her hands. Wood and plastic conduct heat much less than metal.Metals are good conductors of heat. To stop burning your hand, plastic or wooden handles are used, which are not such good conductors of heat.Good thermal conductivity of metals means that metal handles get hot- plasic and wood arepoorer conductors of heat so are cooler.

Why do many cooking pots or pans have wooden handles?
Because wood is a poor conductor of heat and therefore does not get too hot to touch when the pan is being used.
Why spoon have wooden handle?
Wooden handles do not get hot and burn your hand.
Why are tools often heated before fixing wooden handles?
Heating the metal tool expands them. After fitting the wooden handles the tools are allowed to cool and, as they do so, they contract so that they grip the handles tightly.
Pots have wooden handles to minimize heat transfer by?
providing insulation from the heat of the pot. Wood is a poor conductor of heat, so it does not transfer heat as quickly as metal handles would. This helps to keep the handle cooler and safer to touch during cooking.
What material are used to make a toothbrush?
Typically, cheap toothbrushes are made from plastic handles and nylon bristles. Higher end toothbrushes might have wooden handles and boar bristles.
