Is the bottom on the inside flat or does it raise (convex) in the center? Wondering if I could use it on a stir plate.

It is not perfectly flat like say a glass beaker. But it isn't convex either. It is flat with a slightly raised rim on the bottom, similar to the bottom of a glass beer bottle. Hope this helps.

Dear Bobbie,Thank you for your inquiry.Yes the bottom is flat, Please keep in mind this is a stir fry so it doesn't have as much surface area on the bottom as a saute would.Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.Sincerely,Tonia D.

The bottom is flat. The center is raised up a little higher than the outside, so it has about an inch around on all sides to catch the drippings in the corners. But no ridges.

Mine was a flat bottom. However, I would suggest calling the Wok Shop - they are super nice and really helpful!

The surface is all flat except for the two "cupped" areas on each side of the handle. I would have zero problems putting a plate on it as long as there was a towel or napkin or something like that under it.

The bottom is flat. I haven't had any issues with strength, I've cooked 20lb turkeys and large hams. It gets used every week :)

JN, You can change the angle to flat. Where the stand connects to the plate on top it has an adjustable type of connection that locks in place. I don't really know how to describe it. It works good though.

Hmmm not sure about the bottom. It is very rounded. That's my one complaint is that it is quite tippy on a regular gas stove so you would definitely need support for induction.

The bottom is flat but much smaller than the top. I find the sloping sides work with a whisk.

It is flatter at the bottom but it is by no means "flat" wok ring is a must

Yes, I have no problem with it lying flat. I use it on a smooth quartz countertop.

I gave this as a gift at Christmas, but I think it's just like mine, which is not. I find that I need to stir to keep soups, etc. from sticking on the bottom. On the upside, I don't have any trouble cleaning it.

The bottom is rounded, so on a flat cooktop things tend to slide to the center.

It is slightly flat. You need a wooden bowl for that kind of chopper to work best.

It's flat. You could probably use any scooper with this--the scooper is fine, but it's the holder that is worth it.

I have the 12" version of this pan and on mine I have to say that the bottom is not completely flat-there is a slight hump in the center. Ingredients, including oil, tend to pool up in the edges of the pan while the middle stays bare. It's not an illusion caused by the non-stick qualities. Not good for applications like pancakes or crepes but ok for stir fry, browning meat, etc. That being said, the nonstick is pretty incredible and, overall it's a decent pan. Just depends on if you need a completely flat surface.

it is flat. it has 4 little legs on it. It is not heat resistent. I put a deep fryer on one and it bowed. it does not lay flat now. Must use glass for hot things.
