Why do electric stoves that heat a coil for a burner not electrify any metal utensil that touches it?

To my knowledge, electric non-conduction oven tops use electricity to heat up metal coils. What is it about them that makes them not conduct electricity into things, is it the specific metals used?

You’re not earthed is also part of it. Same reason you can change a welding rod with the power on if you’re in boots. It changes if you’re touching the ground. Then it goes through you.

As long as you aren’t standing bare foot in a puddle of water on concrete, you won’t earth out and and you’re safe.
