All of our stoves are already using ceramic. I don't know if all but many use robax and it is a ceramic. I will bet some use the pyroceram also.

Yeah your right ....... I spaced on that one. I remember the sticker saying it was ceramic now that you mention it. :oops:

Although the website says Robax is glass ceramic ... while the others say transparent ceramic. I wonder if that is just a play on words or if they are pure, vs. a mixture? :?
