They are made with Wooden mainly because plastic is really Cheap.
ADDED> Not sure I follow that, but wood and plastic are more pleasant to handle than metal because they do not readily conduct heat from your hands, which you don't want happening in cold weather. BTW why is a question about gardening tools, in the Cooking Equipment section?

∙ 8y agoThe metal body of the pan absorbs heat quickly, and the food is cooked quickly too. The wooden (or plastic) handle stays cooler longer. So the pan can be taken off the stove without the cook burning his or her fingers. Even so, most wise cooks use a cloth just in case the handle (of any material) has become too hot - which often happens if the pan is on the stove for a long time.
