Question

Paul has different spoons for cooking. He told Sue that he likes to stir hot food with a wooden spoon because it does not burn his hand. Sue disagreed. She said that there was no difference between wooden and metal spoons.
Was Sue right? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sue was not right as wood is not a heat conductor and will not allow heat to pass through the spoon thus keeping the hand safe. In a meatal spoon, heat can pass through and burn the hand as meatal is a good conductor of heat.
