Looking for a tea kettle with a flat, smooth, bottom. Is the bottom completely smooth or does it have ridges/rings?

Sorry, can't remember. I sent it back immediately cause the whistler was broken on arrival, and didn't ask for a replacement.

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.

It is smooth, but other answer is incorrect: it is NOT induction compatible. (Perhaps there are different versions of this kettle being sold under the same model name/number.

it is even and flat.. I have had problems with the heating element working blacking out.. we removed the bottom and cleaned it a couple time and it works better for a while.. great for browning and making large meals..

I gave it as a gift but asked them this morning. They think it is smooth and flat but they will check after they get home from work. If it's not flat, I will let you know. I do know that my daughter in law loves the teapot.

yes it seems to be flat. But I must say, this tea pot looks great. However, the second time I used it, the handle came off! I will never buy another Rachael Ray product. I have had other friends that have had other issues. He stuff looks great, but move on to something else...

I've used my tea kettle daily for almost 4 months and haven't had any problems. It has a high polished laquer finish that is easy to care for and seems to be excellent quality.

It is 100% flat and with no any design in the bottom. My stove has glass top too.

Yes, the kettle has a flat bottom and the handle does remain cool to the touch while the water is heating.

Yes, the bottom is perfectly flat. It works well on my ceramic stovetop and I haven't had any issues with my tea kettle. We love it.

Mine was a flat bottom. However, I would suggest calling the Wok Shop - they are super nice and really helpful!

Interior bottom is stainless steel. This is a very nice tea kettle, I would highly recommend it.

It's not totally flat, it does have small ridges on the bottom. I use it on my flat top electric stove and it works good.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but the bottom of the pot is flat. It does have rolled edges at the side though. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, this kettle has a flat bottom. This is a great tea kettle, I'm sure you will enjoy yours as much as I do mine on my glass top stove.

I purchased my teapot in late November and so far I've not had problems with spots or fingerprints but then I don't put my fingers on the outside of the kettle much opting instead to handle it using the handle. I also don't get water splashed on the outside to form any water spots. I do wipe the inside of mine down every time after I use it so that it stays nice. I do have a few little spots that have formed on the inside bottom from use but I got rid of those using a cleanser. So far the kettle has held up well and I've had no problems.

Yes the bottom is completely flat and the bottom is the same all around the whole kettle (enamel on steel). I do not have a electric stove and I was worried that the flames would damage the bottom but it dosn't. The pot is larger than expected but the quality of it is pretty good.

Yes, the inside bottom is flat and smooth. The top is wider than bottom, The green one in the picture is example of finished item, you can see directly from the picture. Sincerely, Seller: Allforhome

Yes to both of these types of cook tops. I have the no coil smooth top cook surface which I believe mine is glass. I have not had any problems with the kettle or my stove top. Hope this helps. I love my tea kettle.
