Question

You can bake food in either a metal pan or an oven safe glass. Which would require more energy to heat up? Which would cool down the fastest? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Oven safe means the glass won't get too hot in the oven. That means it takes more energy to heat up. But this also means that it will cool down slower. The metal is a very good conductor, so it will cool down the fastest.
