Is a flat bottom best for a gas stove

I think they are about the same, the issue I had was this wok rusted so badly so I can't use anymore regardless what kind of stove you are use.

In my opinion, flat bottom Woks are the best with any kind of cooking source. A round bottom Wok requires a ring to cook on whereas a flat bottom Wok does not. My preference would always be a flat bottom (5-6 inches) and a gas cooking stove.

Yes. That's what it's designed for. If you have a round bottom wok you will need a wok ring to hold it - and that might slide around. You are best with a flat bottom wok if you have a gas stove.

I cannot speak to gas vs electric, but the flat bottom keeps.you from needing to use one of those rings to hold the wok in place.

Can't answer the part about the ceramic cooktop. Never used one. I'm one of those that thinks gas is the only way to go. Yes, the skillet is flat on the bottom. An absolutely marvelous pan.

Mine was a flat bottom. However, I would suggest calling the Wok Shop - they are super nice and really helpful!

Yes. I use mine on a gas stove between 2 burners but it is flat on the bottom.

Hmmm not sure about the bottom. It is very rounded. That's my one complaint is that it is quite tippy on a regular gas stove so you would definitely need support for induction.

The bottom is flat. I also have a flat top stove. I just used this in the last hour to fry up a half dozen sliders and for the grandkids and they came out excellent. I have been using this consistently since Mother's Day and am very satisfied. I purchased 5 pans, one for myself and one for each of my children's families and they all rave about it. I feel it is the best I could find for the price. Hope this helps.

I have the flat glass stove top but the pan was warped so it didn't work very well. I returned the pan.

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 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.

The bottom is flat. We have a flat ceramic stove top and haven't had any issues. This is a great pan.

This one with the holes and coils in the bottom is made for a gas stove top. There's another model with just a flat bottom made for electric/glass stove tops.

bottom is round. it comes with what is called a fire ring to set it on for the stove top but my experience is that it worked great with gas stove and not so good with electric stove. secret to cooking it very high heat and stir the ingredients quickly.

I have used mine on an electric stove with no problem. It has a flat bottom.

I just have a regular electric stove - however, I can't imagine why it couldn't be, since it has the flat bottom - just like any other pot or pan.

The round bottom wok is a traditional shape and needs a ring under it to place on a stove burner to keep it stable while cooking. With a flat bottom, you have a more stable wok that can rest sit directly on the burner of a gas or electric stove.

The bottom is flat and works great on any stove range (gas or induction or coil). I have an induction stove and it is very stable and adequate. No metallic ring needed
