What is the outside diameter of the BOTTOM of the 12" pan. I use a portable induction cooktop so the diameter of the bottom is important to me.

The bottom is 9" exactly. Hope it works for you...this is a great skillet. You will never have to buy another one. This is one of those things that get handed down from one generation to the next and it will still perform like new.

5 responses and 5 different answers. Are all the answers to the question of the 12" pan? Looking at the picture, the slope doesn't look like it loses much at the bottom so I'd guess it's probably closer to the 10 1/4 but this is my concern as well since I'll be using it on an induction unit as well.

Is this skillet 12" from outside rim to rim? Please don't include the handle for measurement.

My pot is approximant 6.25 inches at the bottom and about 7.25 inches at the top ... Also ... The bottom of mine is also magnetic, making it useful with an induction device?

I used 12" pan. the issue is there is not much space between the edge of pan and the burner, and because the burner is flat, all it takes is a little nudge and pot slides off. So it should be fine if you're careful.

My induction cooktop has 6/7/10 inch elements. Largest pan is 10 inches, will not work on a 12 inch element. Pan must be at least the same size as the element

i really can't say on the 12" pan. I have 2 of these pans an 8" one & a 10.5" but both are only 1.5" - 2" deep. From reading the description above & at Amazon sure appears the pan s/b 5-3/4" deep. If you look at the 2 pans I have the description doesn't tell how deep the pans are. I see only the 12.5" pan tells how deep it is. Sorry i can't help. BUT I would be interested in knowing since I was thinking of ordering the 12.5"

The lid is approximately 12 9/16" in diameter. The frying pan I use it on is 12" in diameter. Obviously, the lid has enough over lap to accomodate so called 12" pans that may be slightly larger.

Here are the actual dimensions of the pan (I just measured it, so I know for sure!): cooking surface (pan bottom) is 13 inches in diameter; diameter from top edge to top edge is 15 inches; diameter from handle to handle is 19.5 inches. Hope this helps!

At the top the 10" pan is 10 inches wide, the depth is approximately 2 inches and the bottom is approximately 9 inches wide. The depth is about 1 3/4 inches at the side, not less than that, maybe 2 inches at the center. At the top the 12" pan is 12 inches wide, the depth is approximately 2 1/4 inches and the bottom is approximately 11 inches wide. The depth is about 13/4 inches at the side, not less than that, maybe 2 inches at the center. 10 and 12 Inch lids from other pans fit well. TREATED PROPERLY the non-stick properties work well. Keep the maximum heat in the 75% range of your stove.

The outer diameter is 12 1/2" however there is an inner rim that sits a bit inside the pan which is 11 3/4". Hope this helps!

I don't have it here-- I use it in my motor home, but my guess is 2" for the bottom pan, with an extra inch or so in the lid.

As long as you use a skillet with good heat distribution, you can effectively use a 12 inch skillet. But if you put water in a 12 inch skillet and heat it up, you'll see that the area being heated is about 5 inches in the center. I own several induction cooktops, and they all seem to have their heating area confined to the same 5 inch region.

Hi Teresa: I just measured my 13" pan. The bottom is 11" in diameter. Hope this helps.

Yes..the inside diameter is 12 inches. I would strongly advise against buying this. The first one didn't work out of the box. It was replaced..which was nice.....but what wasn't nice...the heating element burned out in a year. The cooking times are also not true..in some cases...stove top cooking was quicker!

What is the diameter of the induction disk on the bottom of the two and three quart pots?

The bottom that touches the stovetop surface is 7 1/2 inches in diameter... Hope that helps... oh...make that 7 3/4 inches. I saw the other answer and re measured it. It is just a fraction of an inch short of 8.

We have the 8, 10 and 12 inch pans. Approximate bottom widths which contact the burner are 5.5, 7.5 and 9.5 inches respectively.
