Fridge to Fire: Engineering Glassware for a 200°C Thermal Swing

Thermal shock is the #1 cause of glassware failure in professional kitchens. Taking a container from the freezer (-20°C) and placing it directly into an oven (180°C) requires exceptional material expansion control.

Linear Expansion Coefficient

Hestia’s high-borosilicate glass features a Linear Expansion Coefficient of 3.3. This technical property allows our products to survive extreme temperature deltas that would shatter ordinary glass in seconds.
