I have an electric stove. Is the bottom of this pot flat so that it touches all of the conductive surface?

I had an electric stove top, and yes, it will work (it is flat)... Just a heads up, it could do some shaking as the boil continues... I never had any moving or spilling, but it can be concerning.

Sorry it's 2 months later but up until yesterday on used on gas stove. Used on electric stove for first time and would not recommend. Bottom is not flat. Works great on gas stoves.

Just an edit to previous reply. I have a glass top flat surface stove. I'm sure results would be different if using electric burners.

The bottom of the kettle is NOT flat. There is about a 1/8 inch difference between the edges and the center. In other words the bottom does not touch when resting on a flat surface.

Yes the bottom base is flat - I used it on my glass top - One thing to keep in mind is not to slide the pot on the hot burner it will leave marks on the glass top - It is easy to remove with a good glass cook-top cleaner so don't worry it it does

I bought this pan to use on my son's new 'glass top' stove and there wasn't a problem. It worked very well and heated evenly. The bottom was flat.

No. From the photos there will not be any flat even contact with the glass top stove. It won't heat correctly.

No, I use it on my flat surface electric stove. However, I do use a metal rack to keep it off the surface.

The bottom surface is flat. It is a metal plate that has been welded to the bottom of the kettle--also flat. I have an induction range and the kettle works fine with it. If the kettle should boil dry and overheat that plate may warp (happened to a friend). Otherwise the kettle is very serviceable. I use it daily.

The surface that touches the stove is 8 3/4 inches across the bottom. This pot is one of my favorites in the collection.

I've never used a pan that had a rounded bottom, so I can't say with absolute certainty - but, yes, the whole central portion of these pans are flat and would touch the surface of a glass stove from edge to edge.

yes, it has a flat bottom, and i have a ceramic stovetop,also. works very well. i have never had a problem.

there is a rim although I set the kettle down on a perfectly flat surface and it was steady. Perhaps flat-surface stoves need all-over contact though.

I don't own the straight pot, but even the graniteware mugs are completely flat on the bottom. I would assume that this pot is also very flat.

Yes, the bottom is flat. However, the paint is ceramic and someone else said that the ceramic paint will stain a ceramic stovetop if you put the heat on high.

Yes. The stove we use is electric, but the material that the pan is made of distributes the heat evenly across the bottom of it. Hope that helps!

The bottom is flat & smooth and I use it on my stove that has a glass top :-)

The flat bottom measures 7 1/2" across. That is the area that actually touches the burner. I have an electric stove with a flat "glass" top (no coils) and this pan works extremely well. No warping.

Yes this pot has a very thick flat bottom. Also works on induction cooktops.
