Is the bottom completely smooth-flat? Is it metal on bottom? I need one for my flat glass stove

The kettle is metal on the bottom. The kettle also has a rim along the bottom edge, where the body is pressed into the base. It will sit flat for the gas range I have and it should be flat enough for a glass top. There is an area in the middle of the bottom of the kettle that is convexed about 2 1/2 inches and is flat across to level it.

Bottom is smooth.........flat and metal. However the patina peeled early in use.. Would not recommend.

Hello, the bottom is metal, smooth-flat, but not as large as it appear on the picture. The total diameter is 8', the flat part is a disk in the center, 5.5' diameter only. The external crown, 1.25' large, does not touch the stove. Even the border does not touch, despite what appear on the picture. I have a flat glass stove too (not induction) and it is working very well.

The bottom is absolutely NOT flat. It is concave about 1/8" at the center. So it will NOT sit flat on the glass-top stove, it will NOT have the best heat transfer on a flat-top stove. Just set the pan on the edge of your counter and you can see it. When a bit of water is placed inside the pan it slowly pools around the edges, which means the inside isn't exactly flat inside either (though seemingly nowhere near as concave as the bottom).

It is flat and can sit on glass top. It is smooth, but not more than anything else I can think of, like a stainless steel piece. So just like most flat cookware, you need to make sure it does not slid on the top. I always position the handle within the boundary of my stovetop so I do not bump into it unintentionally.

The bottom is flat. We have a flat ceramic stove top and haven't had any issues. This is a great pan.

The bottom is perfectly flat. Don't know anything about pans on glass topped stoves.

Yes, the bottom flat. I'm using mine with a gas stove but I'm sure it will work with an induction stove as well. Either way, great product!

Yes, the bottom is perfectly flat. It works well on my ceramic stovetop and I haven't had any issues with my tea kettle. We love it.

The bottom is smooth. I can tell you that this is the best roasting pan I have ever owned. It's a good size for a family holiday meals, and after use, clean-up is a breeze.

I also have a glass cooktop and this set is great. Yes, the cookware is flat on the bottom and the heat is evenly distributed. Clean up is great as well. I have other cookware, but, I use this most often. Hope this answers your question about making this purchase. I highly recommend it.

Appears flat. I use it on a glass top stove and it sits flat with no wobble.

Sorry it's 2 months later but up until yesterday on used on gas stove. Used on electric stove for first time and would not recommend. Bottom is not flat. Works great on gas stoves.

The bottom is indeed smooth and should not scratch the glass used for ranges. As for its performance, I am unable to answer because my experience with this product is on my gas range.

Yes the bottom is completely flat and the bottom is the same all around the whole kettle (enamel on steel). I do not have a electric stove and I was worried that the flames would damage the bottom but it dosn't. The pot is larger than expected but the quality of it is pretty good.

I bought this pan to use on my son's new 'glass top' stove and there wasn't a problem. It worked very well and heated evenly. The bottom was flat.

It is completely smooth on the bottom. This works out great for me, makes it easier to clean.

Yes, it is smooth. We have gas burners but I don't think it would scratch glass. Pan is not pretty but is very well made with heavy bottom and great non stick surface.
