You probably heard about glass as a very inert material. Actually, there are a lot of glass types. However, some of them have shown very good performance as cookware materials.

One of the well-known ones is pyroceram glass made by Corning company from New York, which is one of the world-leading experts in glass production technologies. Pyroceram is a material that combines the properties of glass and ceramics and shows improved mechanical and thermal resistant properties. 

If you are one of the people that enjoy preparing dishes with plenty of juices, fruit sauces, or vinegar and you want to avoid metal utensils, Cornings pyroceram is the material of choice. This type of glass is non-porous and it won’t absorb food odors or flavors from yesterday’s dishes.

Without the need to open the lid a little after a little, you will be aware of when is the right time to add more water to your dish or reduce the heat.

Even pyrocream is much more resistant compare to other glass types, in some rare cases, people experienced cracking of their cookware. This can happen over time if the cookware is frequently exposed to high-temperature changes. However, Corning’s offers a ten-year warranty on the base and two years on the lid if they crack due to hot or cold causing the break, so there is non need to worry about that.

Finally, it is good to know that Vision pots are made from thick material so it requires longer heating to get to the desired temperature. Nevertheless, because of this cookware walls acts as great heat storage so it will keep your dishes warm for prolonger period.

Before the first use-

Unlike some metal cookware pieces glass doesn’t require any kind of seasoning*. It is enough to pass your cookware with a quick wash prior to first use.

Washing

 Pyrocream can be sticky when it comes to frying or preparing food that is not reach rich in liquid. However, it is fully safe for washing with different detergents and in the dishwasher which can reduce the need for hand maintenance.

Using a rough sponge or fine steel wool can help with removing any harder attached food pieces.

This piece of cookware is suitable for Gas, Electric, Halogen, and Ceramic stovetops. For using it with an induction heater you can add some of the versatile heat diffusers and use it without a problem.

Cooking temperatures

Pyroceram is quite resilient to temperature changes; can be used on the stovetop or in the oven, fridge, or freezer. There are no temperature limitations.

Additionally, avoid putting such cookware into the preheated oven. Without liquid strong heat can damage the utensil according to some experiences. So, try to keep away from such practices.

*seasoning- Cookware seasoning is the process of coating the utensil (usually metal or bare ceramics)  by using oil and heat in order to create a protective layer.  This layer prevents food sticking and to protect the cookware.

You will find Corning pyroceram as a great option for all soups and broths since you can see the whole cooking process inside. As mentioned, this allows you to sense better when is the right moment to change the heat, add some water or bring new ingredients in.

Cooking rice sometimes can be a delicate task. However, the transparency of this utensil will help you a lot to see when to switch your heating off or add a little more liquid.

Corning’s 2.5L pot is fully compatible with different acidic ingredients, so you can enjoy adding tomato or paprika sauce to different variations of stews and braises.

This piece of cookware works best with dishes that are full of liquid which prevents sticking of food. Generally, Corning’s offer fry pan versions of cookware, however, they can be pretty sticky. That’s why I would recommend you rather avoiding pas and rather try stockpots (saucepans) for making dishes with plenty of liquid and flavourful juices. This is the field where Corning’s utensils show their full exelence.
