does this kettle have a flat bottom and does the handle stay cool to the touch

it has a flat bottom, if you remove it when it first starts to whistle it remains quite cool; as more and more steam hits the handle it will warm up but I haven't ever needed a hot pad.

Both, the bottom of the kettle is flat (we use it on a gas burner), and the handle is cool while the water is boiling.

Yes it has a flat bottom and we've never had the handle get so hot that we needed anything to lift it with.

Yes, the kettle has a flat bottom and the handle does remain cool to the touch while the water is heating.

Yes to both questions! I was just marveling at the cool handle yesterday, as a matter of fact. No heat from the steam when pouring either. I really like the design.

This kettle does have a flat bottom; however, the handle does get warm. I often use a potholder to grasp the handle for pouring.

Yes, it has a flat bottom. I've never had to use a potholder for the handle - but it can get warm/hot when you pour water out because of the steam. Handle itself has never been hot to the touch.

It is a range top kettle. Does not overflow unless overfilled. Handle would only get hot if on a gas or electric range that is too large. Simply use a smaller heating area like you would for a small pot. Steam does come out vent holes on top so the top center knob can get hot if boiling feverishly.

Yes, this kettle has a flat bottom. This is a great tea kettle, I'm sure you will enjoy yours as much as I do mine on my glass top stove.

The base is not hot at all. Bottom of the kettle is just "warm", I can touch it with hands without feeling "hot"

The handles stay cool on the stovetop. The lid handle does get hot on high heat but not at lower temps.

Tammy I didn't save the box and it doesn't say on the kettle but it is a heavy and very solid kettle with a nice thick bottom that holds the heat well. This is the best kettle I have EVER owned and will probably buy another one if this ever wears out. It is no dinky tin kettle for sure.

Yes it has a flat bottom, It is very smooth on the bottom and would do well on a glass top stove. It is also not a light pan. It is a wonderful kitchen fryer and a beautiful pan.

Yes, it has a flat bottom, and I too have a glass stove top. It works great on it.

I find that if I fill the pot enough for a cup of tea or two, it doesn't get too hot to pick up with my hand. If I fill it to the fill line, and heat it to the point of whistling, then the handle can get a bit on the warm end of comfortable. I normally don't fill the pot, so hasn't been much of an issue for me. I really have been happy with the kettle.

It has a heavy bottom that fits flat on my ceramic topped stove. I love this skillet more than any other I have ever had for this price. It cooks evenly and no tipping or wobbling because the handle is heavier than the skillet. The finish on the outside stays clean and attractive without any chipping or discoloring. I recommend it to anyone.

The handle is flat with rounded edges. Feels great in the hand. I've had them for a couple months with everyday use and they still look terrific!

Yes it has a flat bottom......check with Lodge if it is safe on a ceramic cooktop.

The handle gets hot; however, I enjoy the kettle so much that using a hot pad is not a problem.

Yes, the handle stays cool. I can't remember a time when it got hot. After heating and the cover still on, steam can escape around the part of the cover over the handle. Remove the cover after heating and there is no problem.

Yes, the bottom is smooth. It's stainless steel; accordingly, I think it would be attracted to a magnet. Hope this helps. Personally, I'm very pleased with this kettle.

yes, the bottom is flat and I use it on my glass top stove, this is my second canning season using it, I'm satisfied with it.

The handle is pure stainless steel. Stainless steel doesn't conduct heat very well so the stainless handles helps it to stay cool.
