To understand why SCHOTT CERAN® glass is so favored, we first need to learn about the origin and history of SCHOTT CERAN®. In its early days, ceramic glass was designed for space exploration. In fact, 50 years ago, when American astronaut Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon, he captured historic images of Apollo 11 using a specialized camera equipped with optical glass from SCHOTT AG.

Building on this success, SCHOTT AG continued to develop and patented ceramic glass for cooking under the brand SCHOTT CERAN®, and began industrial-scale production in 1971. Since then, 180 million SCHOTT CERAN® glass panels have been sold worldwide, making it the default standard for ceramic glass products.

The standout feature of SCHOTT CERAN® glass is its ability to withstand sudden thermal shocks of up to 700°C. It has an almost eternal durability – thermal and physical impacts during use do not affect the performance of SCHOTT CERAN® glass at all.

SCHOTT CERAN® glass is only 4mm thick and conducts heat directly to the cooking pot, thus shortening cooking time and maximizing energy savings. Additionally, the ultra-smooth surface of SCHOTT CERAN® glass makes it easy to clean after cooking. This is why cooktops using SCHOTT CERAN® glass still look brand new after many years of use, as food and grease do not stick.

According to SCHOTT AG, stainless steel or enameled cast iron pots and pans are the most suitable for cooktops using SCHOTT CERAN® glass. The base of a three-layer stainless steel pan should be 4-6mm thick, while the base of an enameled cast iron pan should be 2-3mm thick. If using an induction cooktop, you will need magnetic cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking.

Cookware with copper or aluminum bases often leaves small particles on SCHOTT CERAN® glass and can be very difficult to remove. Glass ceramic cookware is also not really suitable as they have poor thermal conductivity.

To clean SCHOTT CERAN® glass, first, you should scrape off any burnt food and hard residues with a suitable metal scraper. Then, add a few drops of specialized ceramic glass cleaner to the SCHOTT CERAN® glass and wipe it with a paper towel. Finally, wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth and dry it with a clean towel.

Due to its popularity in the market, many suppliers have counterfeited SCHOTT CERAN® glass and offered it at lower prices. These counterfeit SCHOTT CERAN® products have inferior production processes and materials, resulting in significantly lower heat resistance, which is a crucial criterion for modern cooktops. They also deteriorate quickly due to weak mechanical durability and low acid resistance, leading to unstable performance and significantly shorter product lifespan.

Currently, SCHOTT CERAN® is a registered and protected brand in Vietnam. The SCHOTT Group is also actively protecting the SCHOTT CERAN® brand and ensuring consumer rights by cooperating with authorities to prevent counterfeiting. Recently, SCHOTT held a seminar to assist Vietnamese customs officials in distinguishing between genuine and counterfeit products. In 2019, police and market management also conducted inspections, confiscating and destroying a large quantity of counterfeit SCHOTT CERAN® products.

With the information provided above, before deciding to invest in a new cooktop, you should carefully research and choose to purchase products that use genuine SCHOTT CERAN® glass from reputable stores and dealers. According to the SCHOTT Group, the genuine cooktops using SCHOTT CERAN® glass available in Vietnam include Chefs, Rinnai, Munchen, Lorca, Latino, Kocher, Tomate, etc. Among these strategic partners, Köcher proudly stands as the pioneer in Vietnam bringing German technology into induction cooktops, offering a perfect combination of superior cooking performance and optimal durability of premium glass. These products are sold in major supermarket chains such as Điện máy Nguyễn Kim, Media Mart, Bếp365, and Bếp Vũ Sơn.

We hope this knowledge will help you have a wonderful cooking experience with SCHOTT CERAN® glass.
