Hi thank you for asking the question
The cooker is made up of metal and the handle is made up of plastic 
The reason behind this is that metal is a great conductor of heat and helps in easy cooking of the food material inside it
The plastic is a bad conductor and do not get hot easily.The cooker can hold it  using the plastic handle without burning his own hand 
Hope this answer helps you 
If it did kindly mark the answer as brainliest. Thank you

The handles of pressure cookers are made of plastic as they are bad insulators of heat.

The handles are made of Bakelite, which is a thermo-setting plastic. It has heat resistant properties and is also an electrical insulator.

If a metal handle was used, it would become red-hot as metals are good conductors of heat.
