I didn't realize metal pie tins were preferably--is that mostly to get a cooked crust?

Thank you all for your help!!!!

I am using glass now as my pumpkin pie bakes...will let you know about the crust...looking forward to golden brown.

I much prefer glass - metal tends to burn. And my hands down favorites is my Emile Henry.

There's an article on Cook's Illustrated that says glass pie plates may be better to bake in since glass heats more slowly and evenly than metal, so you're more likely to get a golden crust and cooked filling.
