A historical analogy...
Remember Corning Ware kitchen cooking/serving dishes made of Pyroceram glass-ceramic? Like Pyrex on galactic space steroids. It bounces off concrete. You can heat it and throw it in ice water and it won't shatter. They used the stuff for missile nose cones.
They stopped making it, with one reason being the fact that everybody who wanted it, had it. It never broke. Demand fell.
They sold the name to World Kitchen, and they make only a little bit of genuine Pyroceram, but mostly cheap ceramic deceitfully bearing the Corning Ware name.
Ok, you need to start with the pyroceram Wikipedia entry.
This stuff can go from your deep freeze into a 500 degree oven without breaking and then into a cradle on your table to feed the fam. The Blue Cornflower dishes were holy objects in my house when I was growing up. All good food prepared by the family came from them.
They make them now, but 2 dishes cost $96 new on amazon right now. And they aren't really the same. These used to be on every newlywed's registry. But now, nobody gives a shit. But these amazing pieces of history that were developed in research for the space program. They used pyroceram for nose cones for rockets. No shit. And they work great still and are just all-around cool.
I got 2 similar dishes to those linked to on Amazon above, in great shape, from 1969, at a thrift shop today for $9 (total). When these were new, dudes were walking on the moon for the first time. And this technology helped. And nobody cares. Except me. ;)
