Metal is a better conductor than glass and the heat will conduct out better, hence, water will cool down faster in metal container.
Thermal conductivity for glass is approx. 1 W/m.K
For Metal
Aluminum 204 W/m.K
Iron (pure) 73 W/m.K
Nickel Chromium (80%:20%) 12 W/m.K

Are liquids colder in glass or alumminum?
The liquid itself is not colder, but the rate at which it heats up is faster in aluminum. Metal transfers heat a little better, and therefore the heat/ or cold from the liquid will transfer through it a little faster, to equalize with the surrounding atmosphere (outside, room temp. etc...). This is why it feels colder when held.
What is it called when solid melts into a liquid?
A solid, like metal or glass, turns to a liquid with the application of much heat. This process is called, "Melting".
What is a thin glass tube with bulb on one end that contains a liquid?
Thermometer. They contain Mercury which is a metal.
Where can you find ammonia liquid?
Liquid ammonia is used in many household products, especially glass cleaners and metal polishes. It may also be found in the laundry section of any supermarket.
If brass is an alloy of copper and zinc and they exist as solids how is an alloy of brass made?
Copper and Zinc are melted down to liquid state. Then the two metals are combined in some difficult to explain process. When the liquid metal cools, the alloy Brass is formed.
What material cools quicker metal glass ceramic or stryofoam?
Metal.
What cools faster glass bottle or can?
Considering cans are metal and metal is a better heat conductor than glass (any cook will confirm that from years of burnt fingers) then I'd say GLASS would be able to cool quicker. It's easier for glass to loose thermodynamic energy than metal.

Explain solidification of molten metal in Electrical discharge machining process?
The electric current spalls metal into the machining liquid, and the metal cools to form metal "dust" that is carried away by the liquid.
Does metal or plastic transfer heat faster?
When you put metal in water it cools down quick. When you put plastic in the microwave, you're in for a big problem....Plastic is the answer.
Do gum dry on wood faster or on metal faster?
obviously on wood dumb,it absorbs the liquid in it.
What is the advantage of ceramic hair care appliances?
Ceramic is less damaging to your hair than other traditional hair appliances. Also, it heats up and cools down faster than most metal or glass hair appliances.
Does water freeze faster in plastic or metal?
it would melt faster in a glass container faster.
Why are you more likely to burn your lips in a metal cup than on from china?
Its metal and it heats faster than glass
What is strange about metal mercury?
Is a very heavy liquid and doesn't wet glass
What is the sSensor in Mercury-in-glass thermometer?
The sensor is just the mercury, a liquid metal.
