does this item need to be receszed at all or does it sit flat on the surface . If possible does anyone know the recessed depth. I have tried two other kinds and they required to much depth at 5/16".

It does not have to be fully flush mounted, but there must be a recess below the handle and finger groove area. The outside edges can mount flat on top of your surface after that.

B. Coomes asks the very same question I have. I got a 12" skillet and sent it back because it was warped in the middle and NOT flat. I now BADLY want this 5.5 qt. casserole to take it's place, but I see negative reviews for it as well, exactly like my review for the 12" skillet. That was exceedingly disappointing! Does anyone with a FLAT cooktop stove have a good review for this pan??????? I'm not ordering until I know that they are not ALL defective, and that I have a good chance with it.

It has a pretty nice depth from the handle to the surface. I would think twice about ordering this item because I ordered 3 and they all came damaged. Just thought you should know. Hope this helps.

It will not sit flat. There are tabs below the vertical mounting strips that hang down about a quarter inch.

I agree with Mrfitit, it won't fit in a recessd box. Otherwise, it should be fine.

I use mine for camping, so generally put a full size (bar-b-que) tank underneath it on a camping table or some other flat surface. If you are doing the same, take the depth of the unit in the specifications page.

It may be recessed or just mounted on the flat wall. There are side mirrors to make the unit look very finished. It is a very attractive unit....I really like mine.

It can be either surface or recessed. Ours is recessed. It was easy to install and is a high quality cabinet.

If placed vertically, two inches will be enough. The instruction says only the bottom of the heater has to be submerged. If you lay it down, or maintain a diagonal position, then the required depth will be even smaller, but you will need a horizontal space to accommodate the length of the heater.

Yes, I agree with the two other answers. Depth is 3.5 inches, WITHOUT subtracting the approximate 1/4 inch depression along the perimeter to accommodate the cover. Without the cover in place, to some extent, that 1/4 inch depth would be available for use. However, if that 1/4 inch depth is completely utilized, boil over would likely occur during use.

I measured it when I got it (to find other spots it could be used) and best I could get was 2.5" depth in from the edge.Due to the way the bottom is (basically the turn-hande and the actual stopper piece at the end), it's not easy to measure like it would be if it were a flat metal piece.. Possible just over 2.5", but definitely right in that area.

Yes the cabinet is 5 inches deep. An instruction manual that comes with the unit has instructions for surface mount or recess mount. It is a pretty heavy item and ours is recess mounted, which was done by our handyman. Hope that helps you out.

Yes, I agree with the other answers. The depth is not overly deep anyway. But is perfect for my small veg garden. I do what Nancy does and just tilt the unit. If I need to deeper ... just hold it in place.

Good day, Although ours is surface mounted, its dimensions allow for recessed installation. According to one previous responder the cabinet should not be fully recessed to allow the door to open at 180 degrees.

No, it really needs to be recessed. I don't think it would look good or be secure enough otherwise. But I love it. It was exactly what I needed.

Yes it will sit flat with the only hole needed in countertop will be for drain

Yep, I recessed mine and it fills up the 3.5" stud, then you add 1/2" for drywall and it is about an inch protruding off the drywall. Nice cabinet.
