Saucepan handles are made of thermosetting plastic because this plastic is a bad conductor of electricity fire resident and heat tolerant. Explain?

It is very common that we use a saucepan to cook food. We handle the pan using a handle called a saucepan handle. While cooking there is a high probability that these handles also get heated along with the pan, disabling us to handle the pan properly. We know that thermosetting plastics are bad conductors of electricity and heat tolerant. These plastics won't allow heat to pass through them.

So the saucepan handles are made up of thermosetting plastic, enabling us to use pans without getting wounded. One more advantage of these plastics is that these won't get softened while heating.
