Miradur® is the world's first scratch-resistant
Key features of SCHOTT CERAN Miradur®
As the first scratch-resistant glass-ceramic cooktop, Miradur® offers 95% fewer scratches from sand and 70% fewer scratches from abrasive sponges.
Glass cooktops are made of a durable, scratch-resistant ceramic glass material. They are not scratch-proof, so it is important to use the proper cookware and follow proper cleaning procedures.
Stainless Steel: This is a smooth and durable material that's perfect for use on a glass stove top. With a smooth base, it won't lead to any scratches. Enameled Cast Iron: While cast iron cookware has a rough base, the enamel helps with coating and smoothing it out.
While stainless steel isn't completely immune to scratches, with a little care and the right cleaning approach, you can keep your surfaces gleaming.
It is important to note that ceramic cooktops can scratch easily and that you should use flat-bottom cookware to avoid scratching the surface.
✔ Material: Stainless steel, hard-anodized aluminum, ceramic and carbon steel cookware are known for compatibility with glass-top stoves. Avoid uncoated cast iron or stoneware, as they can scratch the surface. ✔ Heat conductivity: Good heat conductivity ensures even cooking.
Move with care. Cast iron is heavier than other cookware, and glass surfaces are susceptible to damage. Be mindful to gently place cast iron pans on the surface to avoid damage and cracks. While cooking, refrain from sliding the cookware around, but carefully lift and place instead if you need to reposition it.
Stainless Steel Won't Scratch the Glass Surface
The lightweight benefit of stainless steel keeps unnecessary pressure off the glass surface. This heavy force is one of the ways that glass stovetops deteriorate faster.
Magic Eraser contains abrasive materials that can potentially scratch the glass surface. It's best to stick to safer and gentler cleaning methods, such as those mentioned earlier, like baking soda, toothpaste, or dedicated glass cooktop cleaners.
Compared to coil electric stoves, glass stove tops heat quickly and cook evenly – but they are not without their flaws! Due to their fragile nature, they are prone to cracking. These cracks can be very hazardous and may even render your stove unusable.
Because glass stovetops are made of ceramic and glass, they're more prone to streaking and potentially to nicks and scratches. So, regular upkeep is needed to avoid cooking residue and tough-to-remove stains.
Miradur® is the world's first scratch-resistant glass-ceramic cooking surface. It withstands the mechanical and thermal stresses of everyday cooking – and scratches.
Safety Induction Cooktops
Traditional stovetops can pose safety risks for seniors, including burns and accidental fires. Safety induction cooktops offer a solution by utilizing electromagnetic fields to generate heat directly in the cookware rather than on the surface.
Chefs love induction cooking because of the extremely fast heating and precise heat control provided through a high-performance glass-ceramic surface. Also, induction technology warms the pan and not the surface or surrounding area, so very little heat escapes into the room.
Always lift pots and pans to prevent scratches from their bottoms. Rough Utensils: Metal spoons, spatulas, and whisks can leave behind unsightly marks. Opt for silicone or wooden utensils that are gentle on your cooktop. Abrasive Cleaners: Ditch the harsh scrub pads and steel wool.
And typically, cast iron cookware has a rough base that could cause scratches. Also, because cast iron needs to be seasoned, sometimes excess oils can sit on the exterior of the pan which can get trapped between the base and the glass, then burn.
Because induction cooktops are glass, there is a possibility they can scratch or break. Look for silicone mats to safeguard the glass top and prevent pans from slipping.
Stainless Steel: Its smooth and durable material makes Stainless Steel Cookware perfect for use on a glass stove top. With a smooth base, it won't lead to any scratches. Enameled Cast Iron: While cast iron cookware has a rough base, the enamel helps with coating and smoothing it out.
While glass top stoves are not complicated to replace, the cracking and breaking of the glass could be an indicator that it is time to replace your stove and oven entirely. Most ovens and stovetops are made to last between 15 to 20 years. Some will last longer, and some won't last as long.

Skillets or pans with rounded edge bottoms aren't recommended for smooth cooktops. Pans will perform better if they are flat to evenly distribute heat. A smooth bottom will also offer more stability and prevent any rocking. Never use abrasive cleaners or metal pads which can scratch the surface.
