question on Precision Pierced Stainless Steel Colander: can u show a picture taken directly from the top. i'd like to know if the bottom is flat or curved. flat bottomed doesn't drain well. there's always liquid accumulation. i wouldn't want it.

It actually has a center section that is slightly raised creating a tiny slope around the sides of the raised area. The entire bottom is perforated. I've had no problems with it draining.

The outer rim is firm.. looks like stainless steel, so when you put into the drain of a stainless sink, it looks like part of the sink. I love mine.

I think it's a matter of personal preference. This is pretty heavy grade stainless, not flimsy at all and sides are high and straighten. I would guess the ceramic is pretty heavy as well, but it could chip with time and handling, plus either would be even that much heavier w/water.

I bought this wok for my son and he returned as soon as he received it. He felt it was a round wok, hammered flat, making the bottom uneven. The Wok Shop was very nice and prompt in handling the return. My son went to a different site and purchased a spun steel flat bottomed wok, which he very happy with. FYI. I have had my spun steel flat bottom wok over 40 years. Be sure you get a Spun Steel not stainless steel. I hope this is helpful.

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

Yes. The stainless ring is a thin ring holding the colander and it is solid so there wont be any leaking on the side of the bottom through the ring, but the base or inside between the ring, which is the bottom of the actual colander, has holes to drain through the bottom, between the solid ring that actually touches the surface that the colander sits on.

It is totally flat on the bottom, just be aware that it is very thin metal, might tweak a little when first heating up. Happy hot potting, hope this helps.

Nope, it is flat at the bottom just like the picture looks.The entire reason we bought this unit is that it is all SS rather than having a PTFE or other coating.We like it a lot and the flat bottom has been no problem.Use it about 2-3 times a week.

It's rather flat. The water does not build up in the sink when running unless the stopper is in. FYI I love this sink and have bought it on 2 occasions. Much more useful than a double sink.

the front tang in the picture in not curved in like a typical pour spout. it is flat and the lid sits flush against that surface. works well for a slow braise

Yes, it has a flat bottom and I am finding it as my "go to" pot! I like this pot best out of all the Anolon set I have.Enjoy

The "foot" is a metal ring that does not have drainage holes. The only problem I have with this colander is that the foot can trap the draining fluid if it's on a flat surface.

It mostly drains by itself. The base is tilted so that the water drains away from the highest point (silverware tray). However, at the base the opening is only in the middle and so a tiny bit of water can accumulate on either side of the drainage opening. I tip it a bit from left to right if I see water sitting there. To me it's not a big deal.

The flat bottom is not as flat as glass, but is usable. Looking from inside, the edge of the bottom has a ring that is slightly deeper than the center of the bottom. My stove is glass top. The only thing to deal is the maintained of the pan from rust.

MY SINK came with a drain. The sink, waterfall faucet are great --- look even better than picture. BE CAREFUL WHEN INSTALLING. We have a 22" wide counter top - so we were concerned with the spacing of the faucet to the back of sink. Our spacing is like insturctions BUT should be 2" between the crook in the faucet and the back lip of the sink --- if not, the water from the faucet is right on top of the drain stopper causing the water to splash a lot. Mounting sink also needs special care --- glass sink is not always perfectly flat and may wobble. Use a sticky (2 sided) foam pad around the hole to secure sink and eliminate wobble. Hope this all helps. MY SINK came with a drain. The sink, waterfall faucet are great --- look even better than picture. BE CAREFUL WHEN INSTALLING.

Hi Linda, I believe the bottom was flat, but I wouldn't buy this item. The price seems tempting, but believe me it's junk. Don't waste your money. I would add that I dont believe I received the same item I ordered. Good luck with this.

Are you sure you want a stainless steel sink? I cannot believe anyone would want a stainless steel sink (or stove, dishwasher or refrigerator) that shows everything, especially hard water deposits. I've used them at work and would never have one in my home. I love this faucet. The surface of the entire faucet is a smooth polished chrome finish, not a brushed dull finish. But it will still go well with a stainless steel sink. I have soap and lotion dispensers installed in my sink that I couldn't get in shiny chrome, but even the brushed finish that doesn't match still looks good.
