Yes. Clay is a good insulator because It doesn't have any metal inside, and it's compact. Clay stops conduction. I tested it and an ice cube lasted 5 hours inside a box made out of clay.

Is a pot a good conductor of heat?
I don’t know
Why does the food in the clay pot continue to boil even the stove has been turned off?
Clay retains heat very well and can cook the food for at least a little bit after the stove is turned off. It retains heat within itself as well as keeps heat within whatever space it is enclosing.
Why are pots made of metal and handles of pots made of plastic?
Metals are good conductors of heat, so the heat from the stove is easily transferred to the food in the pot. Handles are made of plastic because plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so that the heat from the stove is not transferred to your hand when you grab the handle.
Before the water in the pot can heat up the pot itslef must heat up does the pot heat up by conduction convection or radiation?
Conduction.
What a example of conduction?
A good example of conduction is the way your electric stove heats the pot. On contact, the heat from the burner transfers to the pot through conduction.
What happens if you heat the clay?
When you heat clay it turns into a pot
Is wood a good conductor of thermal energy?
No, it is used on cooking pot handles to get rid of heat.
Is a copper pot a conductor of heat?
Yes
Which is a better conductor of heat an aluminum pot or a glass of iced tea?
aluminum pot
Which meat is the best to cook when clay pot cooking?
Mainly chicken is the best meat to cook in clay pot cooking. Clay pot cooking should be done in a minimized heat and should be placed on the trivet for cooking.
Why would you expect the materials used to make pot holders to be poor conductor's of heat?
Well, the idea behind a pot holder is that it acts to keep your hands or the surface the hot dish is placed on from being burned. If the material were a good conductor of heat, you'd burn yourself. The materials used to make pot holders are expected to be poor heat conductors because they are expected to keep you from burning yourself.

Does aluminum make a good planter?
Aluminum is a good conductor of heat - so it's probably not the best material to make a planter out of, especially if used in direct sunlight. The only way this might be feasible is if you used the aluminum planter as a cache pot, with a plastic pot inside it.
Will sand hold heat?
Sand is not as good a conductor as something more solid like glass because it is composed of tiny granules that are separated by air. If you were to sit a hot pot in a hole made into some sand, the sand would help the pot to maintain its heat for longer than if the pot were sitting on top of the ground.
Why is copper used to make cooking pots and pans?
Because it is a great conductor. Gold and platinum are better but would make the pot too expensive. The bottom surface conducts the heat to evenly warm up the contents. The next best pot or pan for this is cast iron. Copper is a good conductor so the saucepan heats up better if it has a copper bottom.
