Is the bottom flat for use on a flat top range?

It's flattish, but not perfectly flat. The sides aren't rounded but there is a thin ring around the circumference and a large inner circle which makes the kettle sit up about 3/8" off the burner unit. That leaves about a 3/4" wide indented middle circle which is not on the burner.

Yes it would contact a flat surface. However, the lid handle did melt in my fingers.

There is an indentation inside of the lip on the bottom, but the inside middle is flush with the rim, so I'm pretty sure you can use it on a flat top range.

The total bottom area is 6" diameter. The center, 4" diameter, is flat. That leaves a 1" wide ring around the center that is slightly raised. So, when set on a flat surface, the inner 4" dia. center and the outer edge are in contact with the surface. It sits very steady.

I have a smooth top range and was looking for a flat bottom pan. This one works very well. I've had it for a couple of months now and have been very happy with it. I would buy another one.

The wok does have a flat bottom. It's not super heavy, so it can slide around on the grates of my Viking cooktop.

I really don't know. My range is a smoothtop, and it works fine on it. I really wouldn't think it would matter, but I don't know.

The bottom is flat. There should not be a problem with making good contact.

The bottom of mine is NOT flat. It has some raised areas that actually make it cook very evenly. There is a small square in the center and long tube shaped legs that run about 6 inches acress the bollom.

Yes ma'am...They are flat...but I have NO experience with glass top ranges. I can't help you with that one, LOL. But so far, I love them because they clean up EASILY.

I have a gas range so I'm not sure! I would think it would work on all cooktops because the bottom is flat! Good luck!

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.

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

I don't see why not. there is a little 'lip'/edge (maybe 1/4 inch or less) on the bottom permiter. I don't think that would be a problem on a flat surface.

Yes it has a flat bottom. I have an electric stove and it works just fine with my electric burners.

Yes, it has a great heavy flat bottom and although I have a gas range I have used it on my glass-top infrared hotplate

Yes. It is designed for flat top, electric, or gas ranges. you want to monitor your heat output with gas or french flat tops to avoid over heating and warping the steel.

I have an electrical coil stovetop, but the pans are of great quality and I don't see why they wouldn't work well on the flat top.

This steamer does have a flat bottom, works fantastic, my range is gas with a porcelain top. I see no reason why it would not work on a glass top, but I would check with your manufacturer as to the weight you "elements" hold, I was told that the ceramic is only re-enforced within the element ring and they are rated at different weight load, so check it out!

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.
