Does the 12.6" diameter refer to the top dimension or the cooking surface? Please indicate the diameter of the cooking surface. Thanks.

The 12.6 refers to the top of the pan. The cooking surface is approximately 12"

yes that is the top diameter....the inside, actual cooking surface measures 10 inches.

As with most any of these type skillets or sauce pans, the diameter will refer to the largest, that is the top, part of the pan. The cooking surface of this particular one is 10.25 or 10 1/4 inches. Works well on the larger "eyes" of around 9 inches.

It always refers to the top to match the lid size . The bottom is about 10 and half inches

I've just measured. The cooking surface diameter is 9.5 inches. The top rim is 11 on the inside and 11.5 on the outside. and the bottom that touches the burner is just under 9 inches.

I just measured mine and the cooking surface is 12x10. The dimensions outside to outside including the handles is 16 x 10.5

The outside diameter of the top edge is 11 15/16 (essentially 12 inches). The inside diameter of the top edge is slightly smaller of course due to the thickness of the iron. The inside diameter of the bottom of the pan is 10 inches.

It fits perfectly on the large burner of your stove. Bottom is 6" (per my ruler) and the top is 12 inches across. You will love this pan, really!

The bottom diameter is 12 inches. I love this skillet as I can easily do one pot cooking and don't have handles sticking out everywhere. My wife is not as fascinated as I am, but she is not the type to do one pot cooking. Once it is seasoned properly it is a joy to use and clean.

I purchased the 12 quart pot as a gift and have been told that it is wonderful. The pot with lid is 11" tall and the diameter is 10". If you add in the handles, it 11" wide. Hope that helps

It is a 12 inch pan which is measured as its diameter - measured one point to another on the opposite side. It is an ok pan - there is nothing special about it.

The griddle pan is 1 inch high (outside: countertop to top of pan). The top diameter is 12 inches; the flat bottom is 10-1/2 inches before the sides curve upward.

Hi luckydog, I have no idea where that information came from as it wasn't from something I posted. However, than pan I reviewed was the 8" textured pan that we have now exchanged for the smooth surface pan. If it will help here are some measurements of our old pan: Inside diameter is 8"; depth of cooking surface to top edge of pan 1 1/4"; total length of pan from end of handle straight across to the outer edge diameter 14 1/2" compared to our new pan 16 1/8" so they lengthened the handle some. All other measurements the same. Hope this helps.

The top is larger of course to accommodate taller cooking item and of course provide the steam/cooking that makes the item so delicious and quick to cook. Just focus on the bottom part of your item to see if the bottom is adequate. The measurement is for the bottom I am sure. The top dimension is not really relevant. If the bottom not fit the item it will not work.

I have not measured the diameter but am sure it is not 12 inches. I have this pot and it is definitely 4 quarts.

5 responses and 5 different answers. Are all the answers to the question of the 12" pan? Looking at the picture, the slope doesn't look like it loses much at the bottom so I'd guess it's probably closer to the 10 1/4 but this is my concern as well since I'll be using it on an induction unit as well.

I personally have used up to 12" on my stove but there is an issue that the outside edge does not cook that well therefor you must put up the heat more but the center will get burnt,hope this will help you.

It is the smaller circle that heard up. On my unit it is 5 inches from side to side. We current use a 12" skillet with a 9" base with no problems.

It should mean that 16.9 is the width including the handles, 13.8 is the diameter of the pot and 12.6 should be the height.

It is 12" across the top. It is rounded on the sides and only about 1.5" deep, so it does not hold as much as the 12" skillet I was replacing. It is great, as nothing seems to stick to it!
