Adjective made of material produced by the high temperature firing of inorganic nonmetallic rocks and minerals.
Vitroceramic vs ceramic.
Ceramic cooktops are also designed to enhance the heat transfer from the hidden radiant element to the bottom of the cooking vessel.
Because it heats in such a gradual way it provides gentle heating to dishes.
After you are done cooking spray the surface with a ceramic cleaning solution and wipe clean.
Ceramic hobs are quicker to heat up than an electric hot plate but are often quite a bit slower than a gas or induction hob.
Pros and cons of ceramic cooktops smoothtops pros.
However it can break if you drop a hard object on it and can scratch especially when a granular object catches under a sliding pan on a stovetop.
Vitroceramic does not provide heat directly to the bottom of the pot but instead heat is transferred from a coil through the glass ceramic cooktop and is then transferred to the bottom of the pot.
This means that a lot of energy can escape from around the sides of the pan plus the zones can remain hot.
Hence it is a better conductor of heat than conventional glass.
Actually made from a blend of ceramic and glass these cooktops have a smooth surface that appeals to many homeowners and helps keeps a kitchen looking sleek and modern.

I thought vitro ceramic is just the surface material used and it can be found in halogen electric.
Hence they are used to make electrical insulators that are to operate at high temperatures.
These cooktops are very easy to clean if you spill on them while cooking and they only need to be wiped clean from time to time.
Vitro ceramic is crystalline.
Some conceal those ugly old fashioned coil heating elements while others conceal state of the art electromagnets for.
Ceramic cooktops are state of the art.
Glass ceramics also have the property of having higher strength at high temperatures.
The glass ceramic cooktop is an extremely strong material that handles extreme temperature changes without breaking.
Vitroceramic cooktops are made of vitroceramic glass.
Vitro ceramic glass is also available in a self cleaning version.
Their main unique sales points as an alternative to old gas cooktops is they are theoretically easier to clean and safer.
If you are energy conscious ceramic hobs are normally not the best choice as the entire cooking zone is heated.
Their glory days were in the 90 s but nowadays induction technology is much more advanced.
Guys i am thinking of buying an electric hob for my new kitchen.
