Yeah my mom had a set when I was a little kid. I dunno what happened to it.
Comment on They can take quite a bit of thermal shock (it is a ceramic glass composite)

Is this for real? Do these exist and are they any good?

Yep, here’s a video about it and an example of an egg being fried on it.
Glass is a pretty poor thermal conductor so it takes a bit more heat from your stove to make the frying pan hot, but at the same time it means that whatever you’re frying isn’t getting as hot as quickly so it’s less likely to burn or cook unevenly, and you can shut down the stove earlier than with a traditional pan and still have it fry something.
Like most things in life, it’s a trade off and what you think of it depends on what you’re going and how you want it to be done

They are amazing. I can see what’s happening without removing the lid. They are shock resistant so you can take it out of the freezer and put on the stove.
The actual material is called pyroceram and it has been used in the defense and aerospace industry
