I posed a question about these pans' bottom, and I got mixed answers. 2 say they are ridged, and 1 says they are smooth. Can anyone shed more light?

I have this set and the bottoms do have ridges. I don't like this set mainly because the lid tops are metal and get very hot. (My old set had plastic ones)

They are smooth. I used them for mini brownies and it was like a mini muffin pan.

both the top and bottom are the same and yes they are ridged.......its not flat at all and it is easy to clean ............

Good question! I think they are smooth not bumpy. But that's my perspective. Enjoy!

I wouldn't call it a ridge - it is slightly raised towards the center. It is nothing that dough can get caught in. Everything is smooth so they clean very easy. I love them. I gave away all my other spatulas to a non profit organization.

Yes they are. Both the top and bottom grills are completely flat, no ridges. We are currently using two of them at our restaurant as a quesadilla press. They work well but over time do get much harder to clean.

The bottom stays flat. I think that my pans that get concave do so because they are cheaper or lower quality. I throw away concave pans.

The bottom on these is smooth. They are really nice trays. We have four and use two of them several times a week.

No they're not. I bought them thinking that they were. So, now I'm stuck with just another "muffin" pan! I was looking for the ones that are straight "up & down"---I think those are the French ones, not easy to find & probably more expensive.

Yes they are smooth. I use them on my ceramic stove all the time with no problems.

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

I received the wrong item so I can't answer your question. I received a smooth griddle when it should have had ridges.

They seem fairly smooth to me. Perhaps a little sanding here and there, but otherwise I could not catagorize them as "rough finished". Hope that helps :)

Yes, they are smooth. I do not think they will scratch the stove top. The pans are really very nice for the money.

Mine are smooth! I saw that in the photos as well and mine have a little of that look. However, if they're dimpled at all, then it's only on the inside. The outside is completely smooth.

Yes they are smooth. I haven't used them yet but checked them out. Good luck.

Hi there, I apologize for delay in responding ... yes, the bottom is smooth & it has good heat distribution.
