I have had so many name brand skillets that have a HUMP in the middle! Is this skillet FLAT inside????

The pan is flat on bottom. It's a great, solid, pan but beware of the exploding lid. I would purchase a lid elsewhere and dispose of the one they provide personally.

Yes, flat, and it has stayed that way. Love it. Also like the spot in middle that tells you when it is right temp to add meat.

it is flat. it has 4 little legs on it. It is not heat resistent. I put a deep fryer on one and it bowed. it does not lay flat now. Must use glass for hot things.

The interior is flat on the bottom. But the flat area is small. This wok is very heavy. I haven't used it for a few years.

Yes the bottom is flat with curved sides. My husband loves this pan because he is a amateur chef and he is strong enough to flip contents over an open fire with this pan as well.

No, it is not. It was so rough it tore up the paper towel I was using to coat it after cleaning. I recently bought a Lodge skillet, and it was a bit smoother. The person who commented about the vintage is correct. The older products were made more carefully and are much smoother. The Lodge piece works very well. But despite claims that I don't have to do anything to it, I still rub a little olive oil into it after cleaning, and use a little when cooking.

After every wash/use, do you rub oil on the inside of your skillet? If not, try that. I've noticed that when I don't take that extra step, food sticks to my skillet. Hope this helps.

The bottom has a bit of texture just like the inside of the skillet. I considered it smooth.

It has a flat bottom -- at least mine does. Love it! Use it "all the time" for my large family.

No, it is not flat. I haven't noticed any gathering of oils, but generally the pan is rather full when I cook in it.

Yes it is flat on the bottom and slightly rounded on the sides. This is a beautiful and serviceable pan, you will never regret owning one.

I got a Swiss Diamond 12" skillet as a gift, and I loved it! It stayed flat and never warped, and the non-stick lasted pretty well. I used it so much I wore it out in 2 1/2 years. I want to buy another, but it's $130 so I'll have to save up.

No, it has a smooth bottom, not the Nova bottom like their frypan. Karen/Eurostoves 866-558-0007

Checked into this myself and was satisfied with what I found that they are one and the same. Gave a skillet to my son and he loves it so bought more for him for this Christmas. If you're still not sure just research the company. Hope this helped.

I think the tall side picture is a saucepan, not the skillet. I have the 10 inch skillet and it is a perfect egg or small omelet pan that we use in our household almost daily.

I purchased a 14" skillet from Cuisinart through Amazon. My pan, when heated on my glass top FLAT stove, gets concave (which means a bump on the bottom). Hence it rocks back and forth and doesn't make total contact with the heat source. Dealing with a return through Cuisinart has been a bit of a nightmare. They want to look at it and evaluate it and I have to pay shipping one way. My 30 day return window with Amazon had lapsed when I started noticing this. It's a huge pan and I didn't use it that often. This pan returns to a flat state when it cools!!!

No it's more like a non-stick fry pan on the inside...very easy to clean. I've used mine nearly every day since I got it and it still looks beautiful. Hope that helps :-)

Yes the more seasoned it is, the closer it becomes to being virtually smooth. If you mean smooth like glass though, even my All-clad products have texture to some degree. For everything I use the skillet for, it's perfect.
