Detailed Solution

The cooking utensils are made of metals, while their handles are made of wood or hard plastic because metals are conductors while wood or hard plastic are insulators.
A good conductor of heat allows heat to pass through them. Conversely, a bad or poor conductor of heat does not allow the heat to pass through them. For example, the cooking utensils are made up of metals that allow heat flow through them, which helps us cook the food. On the other hand, handles are made up of wood or hard plastic that does not allow heat flow through them, which helps us hold the handles while cooking. Therefore, metals are conductors, while wood or hard plastic are insulators.
