2. Popular types of induction cooker glass today

Currently, there are quite a few types of induction cooker glass on the market, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, there are the 7 most popular types of glass, specifically: 

2.1. Heat-resistant glass 

Heat-resistant induction cooker glass is one of the common materials used for induction cookers, single infrared cookers. Although relatively inexpensive, heat-resistant glass still ensures the following advantages: 

• High brightness 
• Good impact resistance
• Good load-bearing and heat resistance (below 700°C), so it does not deform the surface 

2.2. Conventional Ceramic glass 

Ceramic or glass-ceramic glass, is one of the most popular types of induction cooker glass on the market. The main components of Ceramic glass are glass and some black crystalline ceramics. Therefore, it has the ability to withstand heat quite well in the range of 600 - 1150°C, durable, and difficult to crack during use. 

At the same time, this material is highly appreciated for its beautiful brightness and resistance to dirt, making it easy to clean. Ceramic glass helps heat the cooking area quickly and efficiently, ensuring that the surrounding area remains cool. This helps reduce the risk of burns for users.

However, when using, users need to avoid placing pots weighing more than 10kg on the induction cooker. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid putting water or cold items on the cooking area that is still hot, as it will cause the glass to break.

The advantages of Kanger Glass are its ability to withstand heat up to around 800°C. It also has a heat shock resistance of 500°C. Additionally, Kanger induction cooker glass is highly regarded for its good resistance to wear, good insulation, and low heat conduction. 

2.6. Crystal Glass for Induction Cookers 

Crystal glass for induction cookers is made from phale crystals and has a structure similar to Ceramic material. Therefore, the advantage of this type of glass is also its ability to withstand heat well and has a beautiful shiny surface. 

Moreover, Crystal glass also has the advantage of good strength up to 800°C. The heat conduction ability of Crystal is vertical, so it can concentrate the maximum amount of heat needed for cooking. Besides, a point that consumers appreciate in this glass type is its quick and simple hygiene capability. 

2.7. Porcelain 

Apart from the mentioned materials, there is also a range of ceramic glass induction cooker surfaces. However, this material is less common. Basically, ceramic has the ability to withstand heat well up to 900°C, ensuring good heat transfer and limiting cracks. Additionally, ceramic has high insulation, a shiny surface, and is easy to clean.
