Is the bowl smooth on the bottom or does it have a ridge (to help carry when it is hot)?

The bowl is smooth with no ridge to help keep anything in. HOWEVER, this is the perfect pasta bowl for us hearty eaters. Or a vegetable bowl for your healthy eaters!

The bottom of both the bowl and plate are made of a rubbery non-slip surface (the colored part on the very bottom in the item photos). This rubbery surface is slightly raised (on the order of the thickness of a few sheets of paper) at the edges relative to the middle, so the bottom isn't exactly flat.

It is smooth but the ridge for the lid is not good for drinking without a straw.

The flat part of the bottom is smooth, the rest of the outside has ridges v

The outside has tiny, evenly spaced, ridges on the sides. The inside is smooth

The bottom is has a "dash" on each bowl and the handle has a leg. The bottom bowl is deeper and "rounder". The bottom will stand stable. The top has the hook like hinges and the handle has the catching tab. The top does not stand stable and would rock. The item picture show which one is top and bottom. The top fits inside the bottom when closed.

It is smooth. I don't keep it in my pocket but know it doesn't have any grips on the sides

On the pots, the bottom is smooth, but on the frying pan, there are bumps in the bottom. I find it helpful when cooking things like bacon with just the slightest lift from the grease.

there is a ridge on the outside. It indents a little around the edge on the inside. They are really great bowls. We use them all the time to measure ingredients when cooking and to mix items together. You will enjoy using them.

It has a heavy bottom that fits flat on my ceramic topped stove. I love this skillet more than any other I have ever had for this price. It cooks evenly and no tipping or wobbling because the handle is heavier than the skillet. The finish on the outside stays clean and attractive without any chipping or discoloring. I recommend it to anyone.

It is generally smooth but there are ribs that strengthen the bottom so it is not totally smooth.

The inside bottom is smooth. It is excellent for serving food. We use it every day as a serving tray or a TV for a meal in front of the TV. It works perfectly for this. The inside bottom is smooth, but it is elevated as the tray contacts the surface on the 4 outside pieces.

Yes, the bottom is smooth & has no grooves or indentations in it. My electric stove top is ceramic, as well & this wok is perfect.

It does have a ridge around the outside edge, but is high enough so that the bottom sits flat on a cooktop. It also works well on an induction cooktop.
