The transparent version of Pyroceram used to make Visions is also used in other products such as ceramic-glass top stoves and fireplace doors. [10] [11] Arc International, France, sells cookware that is equivalent to Visions under various brand names including Arcoflam, Luminarc, and Arcoroc. An amber version of their Octime line of glass ...
A ceramic hob with two multi-zone radiant heaters. A ceramic radiation heating cooktop has a surface made of low-expansion thermal glass-ceramic that is transparent to infrared. [5] This surface houses radiant or halogen heaters below it. The advantage of this arrangement is that the heat can be quickly controlled.
Visions, a brand of transparent stove top cookware originally created by Corning France and still being produced today, [when?] is made of a transparent version of Pyroceram. It features thermal traits very similar to CorningWare plus improved resistance to staining and the detrimental effects of acids and detergents.
Cooker and stove are often used interchangeably. The fuel-burning stove is the most basic design of a kitchen stove. As of 2012, it was found that "Nearly half of the people in the world (mainly in the developing world), burn biomass (wood, charcoal, crop residues, and dung) and coal in rudimentary cookstoves or open fires to cook their food."
A classic Scandinavian style round ceramic stove, which fits in the corner of a room, from the porcelaine manufacturer Rörstrand in Stockholm, c. 1900. A masonry heater (also called a masonry stove) is a device for warming an interior space through radiant heating, by capturing the heat from periodic burning of fuel (usually wood), and then radiating the heat at a fairly constant temperature ...
An electric stove, electric cooker or electric range is a stove with an integrated electrical heating device to cook and bake. Electric stoves became popular as replacements for solid-fuel (wood or coal) stoves which required more labor to operate and maintain. Some modern stoves come in a unit with built-in extractor hoods.
Overglaze decoration, overglaze enamelling, or on-glaze decoration, is a method of decorating pottery, most often porcelain, where the coloured decoration is applied on top of the already fired and glazed surface, and then fixed in a second firing at a relatively low temperature, often in a muffle kiln. It is often described as producing ...
The surface of the glass-ceramic cooktop above the burner heats up, but the adjacent surface remains cool because of the low heat conduction coefficient of the material. An induction stove heats a metal pot's bottom directly through electromagnetic induction. This technology is not entirely new, as glass-ceramic ranges were first introduced in ...
