Is the bottom of this pot flat or concave?

I had purchased at the request of a friend in the Caribbean, as I was travelling there. I only took a fleeting glance at the pot, but seem to recall it as concave. My friend is very pleased with it. Hope that helps.

The bottom of the pot is flat, on both the inside and outside. You can see that from the outside the pot "mushrooms out" near the bottom. Well on the inside it correspondingly opens up a little bit wider and rounds back in to the flat bottom with a seamless curve. Where the pot's inside/outside bottom is flat lines up perfectly with the pot's mouth/opening.

It is flat. I will not recommend this because the non-stick coating peeled off after a couples of week under normal usages.

Yes it is flat, it tends to get sticky with grease stain however if there is not enough oil or grease to cover the base of the pan. It is a nice big pot however..

The bottom of mine is NOT flat. It has some raised areas that actually make it cook very evenly. There is a small square in the center and long tube shaped legs that run about 6 inches acress the bollom.

Yes, it has a flat bottom and I am finding it as my "go to" pot! I like this pot best out of all the Anolon set I have.Enjoy

do you mean the pot itself or the bottom of the stand? Either way, both are flat. And just as a counter to Anne's comment, I love this pot. I've used it for cheese, meat and chocolate fondues and it has performed very well with all three.

It's not totally flat, it does have small ridges on the bottom. I use it on my flat top electric stove and it works good.

The bottom is flat ,but there is a half inch indentation around the edge . I use it on a glass top stove and have no problems.

Yes, bottom is flat. Nice and heavy so as to prevent warping. Sits very flat on my woodstove when I cook there.

The lid is concave. The domed part is concave as shown in the picture. The flat, ridged part of the lid is flat, as you can see.

It's NOT flat, there is a ridge. I have a brand new GE electric glass-top stove and it could NOT bring 3 gallons of water to a boil, even after an hour of heating on the "power-boil" setting, and trying to shift it around for maximum contact. This pot is useless on flat tops.

They are flat on the bottom. They do have ridges that go up into the pan/pot, but that doesn't affect anything.

It is flat and even. It is my husbands favorite cookware. Sits on our convection range ready for him to use every morning.

It is flat, but it is not smooth. The bottom is made up of what is meant to look like individual sticks pressed together. The "ridges and valleys" are about an eighth of an inch. We set glasses on it all the time with no risk of spill. We are very pleased with the quality of ours for the price.

It is flat, but you may need to bend the handle upwards a bit. I have a glasstop and I use this, but DO NOT put a heavy pot on it and try to move it or you definitely will scratch the glass.

Yes, it's totally flat. I believe capsule bottom refers to the tri-clad layering on the bottom of the pot, to increase the heat efficiency and conductivity for even cooking. This is a very high quality, durable piece of cookware.
