Answer 2

Full explanation

We know that there are conductors and insulators of heat. We use insulators of heat wherever we do not want heat to be transferred or to be gained from or to be lost to the surroundings. We know this very well that materials, like plastic, wood, etc., are insulators of heat. The handles of cooking pans are made of plastic so that heat should not be transferred to hands and cooking can be done well. Plastic does not conduct heat well.
