In the era of smart kitchen design, where technology, experience, and aesthetics must go hand in hand, matte glass is gradually replacing traditional glossy glass on high-end induction cooktops. Let’s explore with Köcher the 6 advantages of scratch-resistant matte glass induction cooktops to understand why this product represents a new advancement in European kitchen material technology.
With the induction cooktop line integrated with X-Nano 5-layer scratch-resistant glass, Köcher positions itself as the pioneering brand that brings this technology to become the new standard in the high-end induction cooktop segment in Vietnam.
6 advantages of scratch-resistant matte glass induction cooktops
Matte glass (matte glass, scratch-resistant glass) is not only a change in appearance but also a significant advancement in material technology. These improvements provide a more durable, safe, and sophisticated cooking experience for modern users.
5 times more scratch-resistant
The textured surface combined with X-Nano 5-layer technology helps reduce friction and the direct contact area between the pot’s bottom and the glass surface. As a result, the matte glass induction cooktop minimizes scratches even during strong impacts, keeping the surface looking new and beautiful.

Non-slip, securely holds pots safely
The high-end scratch-resistant matte glass is designed to optimize mechanical grip, creating stable friction between the pot’s bottom and the cooktop surface. Thanks to the ultra-fine textured structure, pots and pans are securely held at the heat center, minimizing shaking or slipping when cooking at high power, during continuous stirring, or when boiling vigorously, ensuring the heat contact area is always accurate and safer compared to traditional glossy glass.
Especially, the X-Nano matte glass does not push water off the surface during spills of water or oil, preventing the formation of a slippery cushion between the pot’s bottom and the glass – the main cause of pot slippage on glossy glass. In addition to its superior pot-holding capability, many users new to this technology often wonder whether matte glass is magnetic and whether it reduces cooking efficiency? In fact, the ultra-fine particle structure treatment of X-Nano does not hinder the magnetic wave, allowing the cooktop to achieve optimal electrical safety while maintaining strong heating speed.

Heat resistant up to 750 degrees and thermal shock resistant up to 250 degrees
In addition to scratch resistance, the X-Nano scratch-resistant glass on Köcher induction cooktops is made from high-end EuroKera (France) ceramic glass, a European standard material known for its very low thermal expansion coefficient. As a result, the glass can withstand very high temperatures while maintaining structural stability when subjected to sudden thermal shocks – a challenge that many ordinary glass products cannot overcome.
Experts from Eurokera conducted real-life tests on the glass by placing it in a furnace at temperatures of 720 – 750°C for 20 minutes, then immediately immersing it in 20°C water for 2 minutes, and repeating this process 5 times consecutively. The result showed that the glass did not crack, break, or deform, maintaining its flatness and surface integrity.
Reduces fingerprints and stains
The scratch-resistant glass is finished with a super-fine matte texture combined with a Nano crystal structure, helping to reduce the adhesion of grease and limit fingerprint marks. Additionally, the matte glass has the ability to scatter light in multiple directions, thereby “hiding” grease stains, wipe marks, and fingerprints during daily use. This feature keeps the cooktop looking clean even if not cleaned immediately.
Real-life tests show a clear difference between the two surfaces: when grease adheres to the glass surface, using a soft cloth to clean, the cleaning time for the X-Nano matte glass is only about 30 seconds, while the glossy glass takes nearly 1 minute to achieve the same level of cleanliness.
The matte glass helps reduce stains, keeping the cooktop looking fresh like new for a longer time.
Anti-glare – easy to observe the cooking area and control panel
The absorption and scattering mechanism of the matte surface helps achieve a gloss level below 10%, reducing light reflection by up to 80%, completely eliminating the mirror reflection phenomenon (as seen on glossy glass). This feature prevents users from being dazzled under high-intensity lights, making it easy to observe control parameters and accurately locate the cooking area.
The matte glass of Köcher induction cooktops effectively scatters light, eliminating glare and helping users clearly observe the control panel from all angles.
Luxurious and unique aesthetic
According to the 2026 architecture trend report from Archiproducts – a well-known online platform for architecture and design, instead of glossy surfaces that cause glare, modern European design is strongly shifting towards a matte style.
This trend reflects a sustainable aesthetic mindset, creating a luxurious and high-class appearance for upscale kitchen spaces. With X-Nano technology, Köcher is pioneering the establishment of a new standard, perfectly combining the spirit of German minimalism with sophisticated visual effects.
Choosing the X-Nano matte glass induction cooktop also helps create harmony in the overall living space, easily integrating with devices and materials that share the same design language such as: built-in ovens, kitchen hoods, matte stainless steel dishwashers, laminate or matte acrylic kitchen cabinets, smooth stone countertops, dark-toned wooden floors, or neutral lighting systems.
The matte glass induction cooktop is a choice that reflects a deep aesthetic taste – where kitchen appliances do not stand alone but become a harmonious part of the overall architecture and modern lifestyle.

The brand providing scratch-resistant matte glass induction cooktops with European technology
Köcher positions itself as a brand developing induction cooktops in the spirit of modern German kitchens with the philosophy “Smart Design Makes Cooking Comfort”. Instead of chasing after flashy features, Köcher focuses on technical standards, minimalist design, and optimization for practical user experience. This is the result of researching the core values that modern users prioritize: ease of use, durability, safety, and long-term efficiency.
Köcher’s X-Nano scratch-resistant glass technology has been developed through collaboration with EuroKera (France) – a leading European ceramic glass manufacturer with a history dating back to 1931. This collaboration allows Köcher to apply high thermal stability ceramic glass materials that are durable and suitable for long-term use in modern kitchen environments.
Induction cooktops integrated with X-Nano matte glass meet international safety certifications such as EN 60335-1 (safety of household electrical appliances), EN 60335-2-6 (specific safety for electric and induction cooktops), and UL 858 (safety standards for cooking appliances recognized in the US and Europe). This technical foundation ensures the cooktops operate stably, safely, and meet the strict requirements of the international market.

5 important notes when using scratch-resistant matte glass induction cooktops
To maximize the advantages of scratch-resistant matte glass induction cooktops, you need to pay attention to the following 5 points:
- Use soft cloth and specialized cleaning solution: Only use soft microfiber cloths and specialized glass cleaners, absolutely do not use steel wool.
- Clean when the cooktop is cool: Wipe the cooktop after the residual heat indicator (H) turns off to prevent grease from settling, shortening cleaning time and reducing the risk of burns or thermal shock.
- Avoid dragging sharp objects: Although matte glass reduces scratches significantly compared to regular glass, gently lifting and placing pots is still the best way to protect the glass surface in the long run.
- Dry the pot’s bottom before use: A clean and dry pot bottom helps transfer heat more effectively while avoiding creating a slippery layer that affects the grip of the matte surface.
- Use flat-bottomed magnetic pots and pans: Prioritize flat, clean bottoms for good contact with the cooktop, avoiding slipping and ensuring the highest cooking efficiency; warped or dirty pots and pans will reduce cooking efficiency and may cause scratches.
