Is the base flat to use on a ceramic cooktop ?

Absolutely I have a ceramic top and the Cuisinart griddle I had would not lay flat on the ceramic top. I gave the Cuisinart griddle to my son who has a gas stove and he is happy with it. Do not hesitate to buy the Emeril griddle.

It is flat, however, the contour of the cooking surface directs liquids (oil, eggs, melted butter) away from the center. So if you're cooking like pancakes, the batter doesn't stay in one spot.

Yes, Emeril's flat pan is absolutely wonderful. It can be used on any heat source. The great part is that you can cook in it without adding oil or butter, things just do NOT stick. After use, I just wipe mine with a paper towel or wet cloth and it looks like new. It can also be put in the dishwasher. Best investment ever!!!

After a few uses, it warps dramatically. I have a flat top stove and the pan is not very good. I would not recommend it. Rick

Yes, the bottom is flat. It's big, though. Diameter is 12.5" across the bottom, and the largest element on my ceramic cooktop is 9.5" across. However, the pan conducts heat very well, so the size in the end was not an issue for me. Hope this helps.

Can't answer the part about the ceramic cooktop. Never used one. I'm one of those that thinks gas is the only way to go. Yes, the skillet is flat on the bottom. An absolutely marvelous pan.

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.

Absolutely! I own 2 sets, one for our home and one for a vacation home and they both have ceramic cooktops. Just remember you don't need to turn the heat up very high...

It says it can be. When I ordered and received the pot, it was nice and heavy but the bottom was not completely flat on mine - the center was raised slightly higher therefore it wouldn't sit flat on the ceramic surface. I returned it and have ordered something else. I think others who reviewed this product thought it was fine so maybe mine was a manufacturing defect for that particular pot.

Yes, the bottom is flat. I have used in on my ceramic stove top over a year now with no problems.

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.

We have used it and it does work on our induction cook top so must be flat or it would not.

A glass cooktop needs flat surface contact. I use my cast iron cookware on my ceramic stove top all the time with no problems ever. Been using them for years.

I have used mine to great effect on a glass cooktop. The bottom is indeed flat, so you should have no problems using it at all.

The bottom is not totally flat. It has a flat inner circle, then an indented section, and then the edge. I don't know why it wouldn't work on a ceramic stove. I say, "give it a try, you can always return it if it's not right."

The bottom is indeed flat so theoretically it can be used on a ceramic top. I have a plain stove but I think you would like the functionality of the pan. The bottom is metal and I am not sure about how ceramic tops work but I use my pan to cook most of my meats like burgers and steaks with good results.

This is exactly what you need. It has that flat disc on the bottom that you need for ceramic cooktops. I never knew how much nicer it was to cook when you have the correct pot!! Love this pot!

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

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