When it comes to their physical appearance, it would be easy to distinguish the differences between glass and metal. They are both solids, but glass will be transparent. You can create sand by melting sand with another type of substance.

Most of the time, it would be melted with soda and other ingredients. For metals, they may sometimes be removed from the earth in their original form. Glass is known to have a very chaotic pattern, while metals normally have an orderly lattice.

There are also different types of metals that are available. There are some that are considered to be more valuable as compared to others.

Metal dishware is more durable than glass, and it cannot be broken, while glass dishware can break in the effect of a small force or alterations in temperatures. However, unbreakable and crack-resistant glass pans are now available. With glass pans, only a low temperature is necessary.

Glass is known to soak up more heat than the metal pans, and as such, the temperature may have to be decreased. Glass pans do not rust, on the other hand, metal pans may rust due to climate conditions. Metal pans can be used for baking.

However, for broiling, it is better to use metal pans. For eggs, tomatoes, and any food containing acidic ingredients, you will get better results with a glass pan. Also, with a metal pan, the acid could have an adverse reaction with the metal.
