Ya... have you noticed that if you touch a plastic tray this does not happen. They are both the same temperature but because metal is a good conductor of heat when you touch the metal tray it removes heat from your skin so fast that it actually creates a very thin film of ice between the surface of the tray and the moisture in your skin. This acts like a cement until it either thaws or you use enough force to break the bond
