Why is our body warmer than a metal or wooden spoon?

Our body is warmer than a metal or wooden spoon because of the heat generated by metabolic processes within our cells. While metals conduct heat efficiently, they do not generate heat themselves, making them feel cooler to the touch. Wood, being an insulator, does not retain heat as effectively as our bodies do. Additionally, our body temperature is maintained around 98.6°F (37°C), while the temperature of the spoon is typically at room temperature.
