Does this kettle have an additional metal plate on the bottom?

Yes, it appears to. We use ours on a wood stove and let it sit all day, it is holding up well.

The plate on the bottom is thicker, but it is not an additional metal plate. I was disappointed in the quality of this kettle and had to return it because the plastic handle was actually broken when it arrived and the cap was a little bent. We purchased an OXO kettle with brushed stainless steel to replace this one. The OXO kettle was superior in quality in my opinion and we like it much better as it heats better and handles high heat quite well.

A very thin metal disc is on the outside bottom. I like this kettle but have to be sure not to turnthe stove too high and/or leave it unattended.

It looks like it does have one, but it still feels lightweight to me. We have a powerful gas stovetop (not quite commercial grade, but close) and this has held up to the intense BTUs just fine, with heavy use.

The bottom surface is flat. It is a metal plate that has been welded to the bottom of the kettle--also flat. I have an induction range and the kettle works fine with it. If the kettle should boil dry and overheat that plate may warp (happened to a friend). Otherwise the kettle is very serviceable. I use it daily.

yes it does have a bottom, but it is not a solid bottom. so you need to use a pot.

No. Bottom is stainless steel. Regardless it's the best tumbler in that it keeps your drink hot for hours!

Yes, it does have plastic in contact with the water (not much, but some), plus the lid and spout filter parts. It's still enough plastic that I can taste and smell the chemicals which leech into the water. Disappointing, because I bought this kettle thinking it might be better than some of the others. As far as I can tell, there isn't a single plastic-free electric kettle on the market (in the US) right now.

there are two holes provided on either side for the metal handle, there is no hole on the bottom

Yes it does, but it does not seem to work quite as well as my older model. Again, I think the materials of construction might be just a little lower quality than my 15 yr old kettle, but it does work...

Yes, but it did start to rust after 16 or 18 months. Can't remember exactly how long but it was mentioned in our review. Nice kettle and no regrets, just decided to replace it when the rust started. Got a cheap one and the hard water deposits are already building up on the element. Nature of the beast.

Yes. It has a rather thick bottom to it, although its hard to tell from the pictures that is the case. It is very sturdy and does well for boiling water or hot dishes.

Looking at mine there is a stainless steel layer at the bottom which would touch the burner, then there appears to be a fairly thick layer of copper, then the body of the kettle. Looked at the Nambe website at this item but no mention of copper. I do see it though. Beautiful kettle, I love it!

Nothing mental about it. Yes, there is an metal tube that runs through the kettle to heat the water.

My Brentwood kettle does not have the plastic strip on the body. It's all metal. I don't know about the kettle pictured here.

Yes it does and in answer to a previous question I discovered that the answer to where the kettle was made was on the bottom of the kettle! It was made in Thailand.

If you mean the striker PLATE, yes, there is one in the package. I am pretty sure it is also metal (it's been well over a year or two since I remember installing this door handle). I am also pretty sure there are templates in the package, from what I remember. Sorry I can't be more definitive, its been a long time.

Hi..it is not marked on the bottom of the pot, check Cuisinarts website or look in the product specifications and it will tell you

Yes it does. The description is vague, but yes the optional plate is included.
