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

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.

What is the difference in baking times between glass and metal bakeware?

Glass bakeware typically requires a lower temperature and longer baking time compared to metal bakeware. This is because glass takes longer to heat up but retains heat well, while metal heats up quickly but also cools down faster.

Will snow melt faster in a metal bowl or a glass bowl?

Snow will likely melt faster in a metal bowl than in a glass bowl. Metal is a better conductor of heat, allowing it to transfer warmth from the surrounding environment to the snow more efficiently. In contrast, glass is an insulator, which can slow down the melting process. Therefore, the metal bowl facilitates faster heat transfer, leading to quicker melting of the snow.
