Because of the heat that came from the hot water.
as a result of the collision between the water particles and spoon particles, the particles of the spoon begin to move faster and the metal spoon becomes hotter. ... Metal is a good conductor of heat, while wood and plastic are good insulators.

The rapidly moving molecules in the boiling water bump the molecules in the metal spoon. This bumping transfers kinetic energy to the molecules that make up the spoon, causing them to vibrate faster. ... The reason the hot spoon burns your hand is because heat is transferred to your skin by conduction.
