Detailed Solution

Cooking utensils are made of metals because they are good conductors of heat.
Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. This allows the heat to pass through them easily and reach the food items so that they get the proper heat and are properly cooked. The cooking utensils are generally made up of metals like copper, aluminum, brass, steel etc. It is known that metals are good conductors of both heat and electricity. Heat is easily conducted through the base of the metals to the contents inside. The charge density of the conductor is zero so they can easily conduct the heat. Bad conductors are those which cannot conduct any type of heat or electricity. So, they are used to make the handle of cooking utensils to protect our hands from burning and the handles are made of Bakelite. Thus, cooking utensils are made up of metals as they are good conductors of heat.
