It depends on the material out of which the dish is made. Materials are considered conductive if they transfer heat faster than the surrounding medium and insulators of the transfer heat slower than the surrounding medium. If the medium is air, a glass dish will be a thermal insulator but a metal dish will be a thermal conductor.

The rate at which heat flows through a material is related to its thermal conductivity.

Is a tea cosy a thermal insulator or a thermal conductor?

A tea cosy is a thermal insulator. It helps to keep tea warm by trapping heat and preventing it from escaping.


A material that conducts thermal energy poorly?

One material that conducts thermal energy poorly is Styrofoam. This material has a low thermal conductivity due to its high concentration of trapped air pockets, which hinders the transfer of heat. This property makes Styrofoam a good insulator for keeping things cool or warm.
