2. Cooktop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooktop

   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.

3. Cookware and bakeware - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookware_and_bakeware

   Glass ceramic is used to make products such as Corningware and Pyroflam, which have many of the best properties of both glass and ceramic cookware. While Pyrex can shatter if taken between extremes of temperature too rapidly, glass-ceramics can be taken directly from deep freeze to the stove top.

4. Pyroceram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroceram

   Pyroceram is the original glass-ceramic material developed and trademarked by Corning Glass in the 1950s. [1] Pyroceram is an opaque, white, glass material, commonly used in kitchenware, glass stove tops, wood stove doors, etc.. It has high heat tolerance and low thermal expansion.

5. CorningWare - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CorningWare

   In 1953 S. Donald Stookey of the Corning Research and Development Division accidentally discovered Pyroceram, a white glass-ceramic material capable of withstanding a thermal shock of up to 450 K (840 °F). He was working with photosensitive glass and placed a piece in a furnace, planning on heating it to 600 degrees Fahrenheit.

6. Glass-ceramic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass-ceramic

   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 ...

7. Induction cooking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

   Built-in and rangetop units typically have multiple elements, the equivalent of multiple burners on a gas-fueled range. Stand-alone induction modules are typically single-or dual-element. All such elements share an electromagnet sealed beneath a heat-resisting glass-ceramic sheet. The pot is placed on the ceramic glass surface and heats its ...
