— bakelite is a type of plastic. As a material for handles, it is convenient due to its low thermal conductivity: even with prolonged heating of the pan, the Bakelite handle will remain cold enough to be handled with bare hands without the risk of getting burned. Among the shortcomings can be called sensitivity to high temperatures: for example, Bakelite is unsuitable for an oven, and it can char over an open fire (although it will not catch fire).
