Just received mine from Amazon and noticed ridges on the bottom. What is the purpose of the groves? Didn't realize that this was a feature of this one and certainly don't need something that has to be scrubbed down with a brush. Which ones are flat on...

We have both, one with and the other without. they both do the same thing and we dont see any advantage or disadvantage. No problem to clean. Hope this helps !

No, I just cleaned the ridges on the outside. It is a favorite toy of my dog!

I filed down the ridge but it is not needed for all mounts. I hope this comes out below...... | | <- Stays the same .. | |..._| |_ <- remove this __| |__..|_________| <- Stays the same |________|The formatting is making it hard to drawadd spaces to make the shapes line up, might give you an idea.

The 'dots' are concave, not raised. They are not that deep and it hasn't proved to be a problem when cleaning at all.

There is a flat brush that could be used for this. I am not a professional by any means but I dont believe there is one in here that is supposed to be used for that reason

It has ridges that resemble the lid as pictured.... I've been using mine for years now and they still look as good as when I first received them!!!

There's a screw in the middle of the plastic tip, so I'm guessing you can remove that and slide out the rows of the brush for cleaning. It's very easy to clean just leaving it intact, though. As for the hardness of the bristles, they are mostly rigid but have a little bend when forced.

I guess it's an inward valley of sorts. It definitely isn't flat. If is was used then it would probably have bristles from a shaving brush in it.

The top side (cutting surface) is flat BUT it has the slightest "lip" running around the edge. The surface is textured. The bottom side has little round feet.

The top parts are slightly thicker and taper off to flat thin edge on top (all the way across the top edge). The picture shows that each one has two two slightly raised vertical lines that end about an inch or so before the edges -except for the smallest which does not have these. I found that these very small "ridges" actually add to the efficiency of those spatulas by giving a gentle lift if needed, but they don't interfere with the Spatula edges. I hope this answers your question!

There is a lip on pan to prevent what you are cooking from running out...example being if you were cooking pancake batter and it got to close to edge it would be blocked from spilling over by the lip....hope this answers question...The grill is FLAT on the bottom side..

No they don't have large ridges but very fine ones which should be safe. The bottoms are quite flat.

Not completely flat. It has low ridges, I presume for drainage. They are barely visible in the picture on the site.

I just purchased one of these and had the same question. Why does this happen? I wish I would have seen your comment BEFORE I purchased. ALready seems like such a hassle to clean every day and the cute little brush at the end of the scoop doesn't help.

The bottom outside surface is completely smooth. It appears to be ridged but when you run your hand across it, it is smooth. I've been very very happy with this pan.

I purchased several Radius toothbrushes a few years ago. Those had the ridges. I do not know about current stock. Sorry!

I'm sorry, but I haven't had to clean the bottoms yet. Someone in my household put the little frying pan in the dishwasher, and that was a VERY BAD thing to do. The bottom of it now looks awful! Make sure you don't put them in the dishwasher!
