Question

Why is wood not used for making cooking utensils

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, the wood would be damaged and might burn, if you use a cooking fire or stove. This means it's a fire hazard. Second, just like with wooden cutting boards, remains of the food might get into the wood, where it becomes home to possibly harmful micro-organisms which can taint your food when you cook with it again.

Finally, wooden pans would be hard to clean, and might warp from the excess water.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Wood is not used for making cooking utensils because they are insulators which means they cannot conduct heat. And if we make wooden utensils then very much fuel would be wasted as it do not conduct heat and does cooking faster. So, for this reason we do not use wood for making utensils.
