Is the heating element enclosed so the inside bottom of the kettle flat?

The inside of the kettle is flat. The heating element is in the bottom of the kettle and it rests upon the separate base which has the electric plug. After water is heated, you take the kettle off the base and then pour the hot water.

The inside of the kettle is all stainless steel, except the lid. The bottom is a single plate of stainless steel, but is has been stamped, so that the center is raised about 1/16th inch above the outer 1/2 in wide ring.

Yes - the inside bottom of the kettle is flat, there are no visible heating elements (even though I believe they must be somewhere there in the bottom).

The kettle has a center coil that fits over an electronic element which is on a separate plate that plugs into the outlet. When the kettle is on the plate it has to be over the electronic element that is in the middle of the plate. The kettle heats from this process, be sure never to immerse the kettle in water, be sure to keep the center coil dry and the electronic element on the plate. The kettle automatically shuts off when the water in the kettle boils.

They kettle removes from the base, and the kettle bottom is flat. So you could put it on a trivet or something.

The bottom is completely flat. I have a glass top stove too. BE AWARE all porcelain bottomed cookware will bond to a glass cooktop if you use a high heat setting. It is reccomened that you use only a MEDIUM HEAT setting to prevent this. When I use my kettle I place it on a trivet to cool off and empty the water out. I love this pot, it takes a tad longer to get to boiling but it is worth it. * the whistle is very pleasant and not ear spitting so stay in close range while you wait for it to sing to you

it does not. It isn't flat, for one thing. It has a raised contact point to fit into the kettle. The base does not get hot at all. Just the kettle

No the heating element is recessed and I have had two of these and both quit working after about a month

No - the flat bottom of the kettle is the hot surface. This is impossible to touch unless you have extraordinarily long fingers. On an unrelated note, the whistle is not loud enough to be heard in the next room

No the copper bottom is not exposed inside the kettle. The inside is completely stainless and very nicely finished. The copper is only on the outside of the kettle and is very effective at distributing the heat evenly and quickly and keeping the water hot a long time after the heat is turned off. The only thing to remember with this kettle is "DON'T SET THE HEAT TOO HIGH". It only takes a medium heat to bring the water to a boil in just few minutes. Debbie

no the heating element with power cord is separate and the pot sits over the element when heating water.

Yes. The heating element is hidden in the bottom, so the liquid doesn't touch it directly.

Yes the top section has a flat bottom, and each part of the double boiler can be used as separate pots.

Yes. The heating element is under the bottom of the pot and is completely enclosed. However, as with any electrical coffee pot, you cannot emerge the pot in water. It cleans beautifully by putting vinegar in the pot and running it for 1 cycle. I love this pot. Use it every day.

This does not have a flat bottom. It is hollow. It rests on the outside circumference and the indentations do not touch the stove. I have used it on gas as well as electric ranges with good results.

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 and it cooks evenly. I love mine and use it for all sorts of goodies.

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.

Yes. The bottom of the kettle is covered with a smooth metal. This is about as little metal I have been able to find in an electric kettle. The alternative is an all glass pot requiting a stove. It is a no frills unit that works great and is not hot to the touch on the outside (double wall...).

The coil is completely contained. The round black ring at the bottom of the picture is the heating element. There is a small "peg" in the middle of this round plate. The kettle fits on top of the peg. There are no coils exposed.

"Concealed Heating Element" means it is concealed inside the Kettle. Not visible from the outside of unit. When you open lid on kettle portion and look inside you will see the element at the bottom. There would be no danger of a child touching a hot element that is exposed. Hope this helps. Use mine for French Press Coffee and Teas! :)
