The daily family meal is a beautiful cultural tradition of the Vietnamese people. In the context of changing cooking habits due to rising incomes, a high percentage of young population, and the development of the middle class, modern and energy-efficient cookers are increasingly favored over traditional gas stoves.

Especially in large cities, homemakers are increasingly inclined to pay attention to design, safety, and convenience when equipping their beloved kitchen.
Looking around the current induction cooker market, there are many high-end brands imported directly from Germany as well as many Vietnamese brands in the mid-range and affordable segments. High-end brands like Bosch or Chefs use SCHOTT CERAN® glass – a glass made from a special ceramic material developed by the SCHOTT Group from Germany. In Mainz (Germany), SCHOTT operates the largest glass research center in Europe with over 600 researchers and developers.
The outstanding advantage of SCHOTT CERAN® glass lies in its ability to withstand sudden thermal shock up to 750°C. SCHOTT CERAN® glass has an almost eternal durability – the usual thermal and physical impacts during daily use do not affect the performance and stability of SCHOTT CERAN® glass at all. In addition, SCHOTT CERAN® glass provides superior features for most popular types of cookers on the market such as induction cookers, infrared cookers, or gas cookers.
The ultra-smooth surface of SCHOTT CERAN® glass makes it easy for homemakers to clean after cooking. This is why cookers using SCHOTT CERAN® glass still look brand new, even after many years of use, as food and grease splatters do not stick.
It would be a significant oversight not to mention the thermal insulation capability of SCHOTT CERAN® glass. During cooking, heat is directed straight into the cooking pot without escaping along the sides, keeping the area around the cooker cool. This characteristic not only helps save energy but also limits the amount of heat emitted around, especially in the hot tropical weather conditions in Vietnam.
Moreover, the black ceramic glass SCHOTT CERAN® is also environmentally friendly and safe for daily use. SCHOTT is the first manufacturer of black ceramic glass that can eliminate heavy metals such as arsenic and antimony in the production process.
Because of these advantages, SCHOTT CERAN® glass has become a trusted partner of leading induction and infrared cooker brands. Taking advantage of this, many suppliers have counterfeited SCHOTT CERAN® glass and sold it at lower prices. These low-quality products are currently flooding the market with extremely sophisticated counterfeiting skills, making it very difficult for the naked eye to recognize.
Not only of poor quality, but counterfeit SCHOTT CERAN® products also pose many risks or can even harm users. Due to the production process and low-quality materials, counterfeit SCHOTT CERAN® glass has significantly lower heat resistance, which is a crucial criterion for modern cookers. Additionally, counterfeit products often have many defects such as cloudy glass, bulges, and bubbles, making them very easy to crack. They also degrade 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 closely coordinating with authorities to prevent the issue of counterfeit and imitation goods. Most recently, SCHOTT organized a seminar to provide knowledge to help Vietnamese customs officials distinguish between genuine and counterfeit products. In 2019, the police and market management also conducted inspections, confiscated, and destroyed a large amount of counterfeit SCHOTT CERAN® branded goods.
With the information provided above, before deciding to invest in a new cooker, savvy consumers should carefully research and choose to purchase products using genuine SCHOTT CERAN® glass from reputable stores and dealers. According to the SCHOTT Group, the lines of cookers using genuine SCHOTT CERAN® glass available in Vietnam include Chefs, Rinnai, Munchen, Lorca, Latino, Kocher, Tomate … Among these strategic partners, Kocher is proud to be the pioneer in Vietnam bringing German technology into induction cooker products, offering a perfect combination of superior cooking performance and optimal durability of high-quality glass. These products are currently sold in major supermarket chains such as Dien May Nguyen Kim, Media Mart, Bep365, and Bep Vu Son.
We hope this knowledge will help you have a wonderful and lasting cooking experience with SCHOTT CERAN® glass.
