Question

Riya observed that a cooking utensil is made up of metal but its handle is made up of plastic. How are
metal and plastic helpful to cook food in utensils? Give reasons in support of your answers. What will
happen if the utensil base is made of plastic but the handle is made up of metal.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cooking vessels are made up of metals because metals are good conductors of heat. So they provide heat to the utensil and helps in cooking. Handles of the utensil are made up of ebonite (plastic) because they are bad conductors of heat. ... If the handles are made up of metals, it may cause burns.
