and electricity

Answer 2

Cooking utensils are made of metals because they are good conductors of heat. But the handles are covered by materials like wood or ebonite because they don't conduct heat.

Ebonite is obtained from natural rubber by vulcanizing process and used as handles for almost all utensils.

Wood is also a bad conductor or heat and electricity, so it is very easy to hold hot utensils having wood or ebonite handles.
