Which is better - ceramic or tin?

[NAB3littlemonkeys]

I am cooking a mix tonight for dinner and was wondering which dish would be better to use. It will be sausages, onion, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes and garlic all roasted together with a bit of olive oil. I am sure it is all to do with how the dishes conduct heat but since I dropped Chemistry and Physic I need the help of you wise MNetters!

i'd go for ceramic myself
can serve from it too...

they both conduct tin prob faster (A in chemisty)
ceramic cassarole dish my choice

but will stand corrected if needs be onthe science...

Thank you.

Doesn't need to be on the science, was just interested in to the quickest way to get my dinner!

Think metal will conduct the heat better, but ceramic look more attractive!

Metal definitely better for pastry IME, makes it crisper. I think metal would be slightly quicker for your dinner but I don't think it will make a huge difference to the result for your meal.

Oh, it is only DH and me so it doesn't have to look good in the dish, just taste great in our tummies!

ceramic is better for me even cooking imo

more even

I'd go for metal then.

ceramic

Oh blooming heck, you are not helping me all disagreeing! I need to put it together now so the next person I will go with.

I think metal better than ceramic if proper thick metal that doesn't buckle (as recommended by Delia), but if cheap crappy metal, then ceramic would be better.

All right, why not put half of it in metal and the other half in ceramic, and see which turns out best (and let us know later!)

Will do ceramic!

Life really is too short for this, isn't it???!!!

metal will be quicker and crisper

Dinner was delish!
