Are the heating elements on top and bottom the straight rod style or more like the shape of a "u", "w" or "s"?

It looks like the heating units are on the bottom. It's hard to see.... But this is the best crock pot I ever had! We love it! It works great and is nice looking too! I've had 4 crock pots in my life time and this one is definitely the best!

One side has a slight curve and the other side is straight. They are held on by 4 springs that attach to the bottom side and are adjustable by which hole you hook them in. Work on any size or shaped step. Work very good. Have had them a year and are holding up well.

bottom is round. it comes with what is called a fire ring to set it on for the stove top but my experience is that it worked great with gas stove and not so good with electric stove. secret to cooking it very high heat and stir the ingredients quickly.

The type of heating element. The 157 is a solid element with a much longer lasting life but takes a few minutes to heat up. The 154 has a wire heating element which should not last as long but heats much quicker. I have the 157 and it takes about 2 minutes to get going.

They all look like that. The design is the insulation. I like the way it looks and it works pretty well.

Try to keep the temp at number 2 1/2 and 3. Is the bottom heating rod working?

Top, sides and back of heater are cool to the touch. The front where the heat comes from does get very warm.

Pamela,these are not solid rods. The view from the end looks like an upside down U. A solid stainless steel rod grate would be very expensive. The measurement is 1/2 inch. For the money they are great

There is a top and bottom. On low heat only the top is on. High both are on. Each element is 690 watts. It uses 1380 watts on high.

If your talking about the curly wires as shown in the picture, those are the heating elements and those are built into the heating element...all external wires are plugged from the dryer to the element. Vey easy to install, don't remove the old one until the new one goes on...makes it easier to install! Hope this helps!

They are mostly flat: They have a slightly indented pattern, to distribute heat evenly. We purchased one set for our gas range and one for our dtrs electric range - Works beautifully with our gas range, not so well on the coils of our dtrs electric stove. It may very well be she uses too high a flame, we are not sure but you cannot use high heat with these pots/pans. Many things DO stick to them. I cannot recommend for frying. We do not usually fry, so I love them. I would think these would work well on the glass-top... Hope this is helpful.

It is round bottomed. You will need a wok ring to use on a stove. It is a nice heavy wok.
