Why It Exists

The post-gas kitchen needs more than metal cookware.

Across North America, more new homes are moving toward cleaner, all-electric kitchens. Induction cooking is fast, precise, safer for indoor air, and aligned with the way modern homes are being built.

The cookware choices have not caught up. Induction shelves are still dominated by stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, and ceramic-coated metal. CERENE is our answer: a true ceramic cooking experience made for the new generation induction kitchen.

The First Piece

A 2.5L IH ceramic casserole for clean, modern daily cooking.

The first CERENE piece is shaped for soups, rice, sauces, stews, braises, steaming, and one-pot meals. Its lower rounded body, integrated hollow handles, domed ceramic lid, centered pour spout, and brass-tone knob make it feel younger, healthier, and more refined than a traditional cocotte.

Capacity: 2.5L usable volume
Material: True ceramic body, PFAS/PTFE-free positioning
Cooktop: Developed for high-efficiency induction through IH ceramic material technology
Base: No added metal plate inside or outside the pot
Signature: Centered pour spout and integrated hollow handles

The Hidden Difference

No metal plate means more than a cleaner look. It changes how induction heat reaches the ceramic.

Conventional induction-compatible ceramic pots solve induction by adding ferromagnetic material to the base, commonly as a metal disc attached underneath or hidden inside the bottom structure. On those designs, induction heats the metal first, then the ceramic body follows.

CERENE is being developed around special IH ceramic material technology, with no added metal plate inside or outside the pot. The goal is a ceramic-first heat path, fewer bonded material interfaces, and an uninterrupted base that still looks, feels, and performs like ceramic.

Food-Contact Material

What touches the food matters, especially for acidic cooking.

Many cookware categories still cook from metal, or from a coating applied over metal. With acidic recipes, long simmering, high heat, and worn surfaces, some cookware systems can transfer more material into food.

CERENE takes a different route: a true ceramic food-contact body, not ceramic coating over a metal pot, and no added induction metal plate in the base. Lead, cadmium, heavy-metal migration, and food-contact safety results will be published through third-party testing.

From Hob To Table

Cookware that stays visible after the cooking is done.

CERENE is being designed as an object worth leaving out: tactile ceramic, warm ivory interior, soft mineral color, and a form that can move from induction hob to table without feeling like equipment. It is cookware for a cleaner kitchen, a calmer table, and a more beautiful daily cooking experience.

Healthy Living, Better Cooking

The ceramic advantage is not only visual.

Ceramic cookware is traditionally valued for gentle, even heating and moisture-holding cooking. Many cooks describe ceramic-prepared food as smoother, richer, and more natural in flavor.

CERENE’s validation program pairs real cooking demonstrations, energy-use checks, and blind taste comparisons with conservative public wording until reports are complete.

Gentle Heat

Designed around steady ceramic heat movement and moisture retention.

Cleaner Materials

PFAS/PTFE-free positioning supported by food-contact safety validation.

Energy Conscious

Engineered for efficient induction cooking, with energy-use validation in the launch program.

The Difference

CERENE sits between categories that usually force a compromise.

Launch Roadmap

From material breakthrough to backer delivery.

CERENE is not starting from a blank idea. The IH ceramic foundation was developed before the brand form work began; the current stage turns that technology into a finished 2.5L casserole with samples, testing, and launch content.

2024-Q4 2025

IH ceramic foundation

The underlying induction-capable ceramic technology was tested, adjusted, and brought to a workable technical direction before CERENE styling began.

Creation Story

Ceramic cookware, rebuilt for the induction kitchen.

CERENE began with a simple observation: people still love ceramic for its warmth, honesty, and natural cooking feel, but modern induction kitchens often push them toward stainless steel, ceramic-coated metal, or heavy heritage cookware.

Our first casserole is designed to close that gap. It keeps the calm character of ceramic while bringing it into everyday induction cooking, table serving, and the proof-before-claims standard a modern cookware brand should earn.

Material honesty Induction-era relevance Testing before claims Worth leaving out

03 Proven before claimed

Real samples, cooking trials, and third-party reports support public language.

Founder Perspective

Built by a product developer with over 30 years in housewares and cookware.

CERENE is led by Jackson Leung, founder of Innovationplus Design Limited in Vancouver. Jackson has worked in the housewares and consumer product industry for over 30 years, across kitchenware, cookware, tabletop, factory sourcing, cost negotiation, production follow-up, quality control, and shipment execution for retail-ready consumer products.

That background is why CERENE is being developed as more than a beautiful ceramic object. It has to make sense to a cook, a factory, a retailer, and a backer: clear material logic, honest claims, practical manufacturing, and proof before launch.

Color Studio

Designed for the modern ritual.

CERENE should feel premium, healthy, and architectural, but never cold. The symbol points to ceramic form, gentle heat circulation, balance, purity, induction energy, and the quiet rhythm of cooking.

These visuals show the current finish direction. Final shades will be confirmed against physical production samples before launch.

Current Answers

Transparent now. Proof-led before launch.

Is CERENE available to buy now?

No. The 2.5L casserole is currently in sample production.

Is it induction compatible?

Yes. CERENE uses special IH ceramic material technology to bring a true ceramic cooking body to induction homes. Demonstrations and validation updates are part of the launch program.

Does it use a metal plate?

No. CERENE is specified with no added metal plate inside or outside the pot, using special IH ceramic material technology and a flat ceramic base.

Why does no metal plate matter?

A metal induction disc makes the base a hybrid construction: induction heats the metal first, then heat travels into the ceramic. The bond between different materials is also another interface exposed to repeated heating and cooling. CERENE’s approach keeps the base ceramic-first while removing the visible metal disc.

Why does the food-contact material matter?

Many cookware systems cook from metal, or from coatings applied over metal. Acidic recipes, long cooking, high heat, and surface wear can increase material transfer in some cookware. CERENE’s direction is a true ceramic food-contact body supported by lead, cadmium, heavy-metal migration, and food-contact testing before final public claims are made.

Does ceramic cooking taste different?

Ceramic cookware is traditionally valued for gentle, even heating and moisture retention. CERENE treats taste and energy saving as proof-led claims, supported through demonstrations and comparisons as launch validation is completed.

Is it microwave safe?

No. The product is not intended for microwave use.

What validation is included?

Food-contact safety, lead/cadmium migration, heavy metal migration, thermal shock, induction performance, energy-use comparison, taste comparison, oven, dishwasher, open-flame, scratch, and real-use durability checks.

Are more pieces part of the CERENE roadmap?

CERENE’s wider roadmap includes a 28cm shallow braiser, but the first public focus remains the 2.5L casserole.
