Yes, count me in with these new-fangled Schott products (besides the filter and 
lens Schott glass items that I have).  I have a Thermador hybrid stovetop.  
Hybrid because two elements are infrared (glowing red surrounded by all that 
black) and three elements are induction.  And they are 'cool' but they generate 
all that heat in the cooking vessel

Interesting because Thermador is an old line American company now owned by the 
Germans (BSH  -- Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GMBH).  And the cooktop is made 
in Spain.  At least the venting system is made by Thermador here.

Yes, and it cost more than my first (and second) Porsche.

"Schott" struck a chord with me.  I think that we once had
a project with Kodak and that company came up with respect to some

we were having designed for a Microfiche project (yes it was a long
time
ago).

Then today I remembered seeing it on the top of our new stove.  The
cook top is one of these radiant heat systems that appears black unless
a
heating element is on.  At the back there is the note:

Schott
Ceran

Must be pretty tough stuff and probably has a very low
coefficient of
thermal expansion, it doesn't seem to break from heat or cold.  In
any case I would assume it's the same company, and there is a much
larger
market for range tops than lens blanks.
