Is it safe to let your child play with pots and pans?

Pots and pans are a great toy for children provided they are light weight and well constructed. You don't want handles that come apart or screws coming loose. Pick a cabinet in the kitchen out of the way from where you need to prepare your meals and fill it with pots, pans, wooden spoons, plastic bowls, etc so they can be near and use the imagination.

Why are cooking pots made of metals and why are their handles covered with wood or plastics?

Conduction. Metals are very good conductors of heat/electricity. Wood and plastics are not.Because plastic and wood has no conductivity so the heat wont pass through it and wont burn the hand of a persons.Cooking utensils have wood or plastic handles primarily to prevent the cook from burning his/her hands. Wood and plastic conduct heat much less than metal.Metals are good conductors of heat. To stop burning your hand, plastic or wooden handles are used, which are not such good conductors of heat.Good thermal conductivity of metals means that metal handles get hot- plasic and wood arepoorer conductors of heat so are cooler.

Can you cook a miracle maid pot with black handles in the oven?

I dont think so. I have never put mine in the oven. My parents sold it in the 70s and my mom still uses hers. I have NEVER seen her use black handles in the oven. I have known some of the small handles to burn on the gas stove- especially the pots that flip over and she was cooking the other side of a cake.....


Why do electric irons have plastic handles?

Electric irons are made of iron, and since iron is a good conductor of electricity, if you touch it with your bare hands you would get shocked. Plastic doesn't conduct electricity and is one of the best insulators, so it would be safe to use plastic handles while ironing. Even if the ironing machine isn't electric, the machine is bound to get heated, and if you touch it to use it, you would burn your hand, so no matter the type of ironing machines, you always need a plastic handle.

What should we do with unrecyclable plastic?

Unless we can put the non-recycable plastic to another use, we can only put it into landfill sites using the normal household rubbish collection. For instance: your local primary school may take yoghurt pots, the trays that had held microwave meals, etc, as they can use them as paint pots in the classroom, or for the children to create models. Gardeners might use yoghurt pots and food trays to start off seeds and young plants, or larger pots to plant on, before planting out into the garden.
