Like, I just bought one of those Granite Stone fry pans, and while cooking some pork chops I got to wondering… Metal conducts heat and electricity, so how do the metal handles on some fry pans and cook pots stay cool while some (mainly solid, single-piece metal pans) get hot to where you need a pot holder to hold or move them?
