Does the bottom of the pot flat or a little depressed? I want to use it on a flat electric cooker.

This pot is worthless. It will warp on any other setting except low heat. I returned it.

It's flat. I use it on an inductive range which is flat too and could be described as a flat electric cooker (with the power of magnets). The pot and the cooker work really well together- flat surface against flat surface like two books kissing.

It is totally flat on the bottom, just be aware that it is very thin metal, might tweak a little when first heating up. Happy hot potting, hope this helps.

It's flat on the bottom. I actually bought it to use on an electric cooktop.

yes, the bottom is flat and I use it on my glass top stove, this is my second canning season using it, I'm satisfied with it.

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.

it is flat, it is very heavy. I thought I would like using the cast iron, we have a glass flat top electric cook top, my wife says she can get it to heat evenly. Send a ups call tag to me and I will send it off to you no charge.

The bottom is completely flat. I have a glass top stove too. BE AWARE all porcelain bottomed cookware will bond to a glass cooktop if you use a high heat setting. It is reccomened that you use only a MEDIUM HEAT setting to prevent this. When I use my kettle I place it on a trivet to cool off and empty the water out. I love this pot, it takes a tad longer to get to boiling but it is worth it. * the whistle is very pleasant and not ear spitting so stay in close range while you wait for it to sing to you

This does not have a flat bottom. It is hollow. It rests on the outside circumference and the indentations do not touch the stove. I have used it on gas as well as electric ranges with good results.

I confess that my husband is the primary user of this pan (and the kitchen, sad to say -- or glad to say, truth be told) and he tells me that the bottom of the pan is flat. He says it is the best pan he has ever used for omelets and I can attest to that. He tells me the heat distribution across the bottom of the pan is nice and even. We have a glass-topped electric stove which typically has tiny uneven heating areas. So far, it seems the pan compensates well for that.

The bottom of my Dutch oven seems perfectly flat. It seats solidly on a Thermador electric cook top. I have found it very satisfactory both on the cook top and in the oven.

I just got mine in the mail ... I would say that if you put this pot on a glass cooktop ... you would not have even weight distribution across the bottom of the pan. This is not a perfectly flat milled bottom on the pot. This is not an encapsulated bottom. The bottom of the pot is no thicker than the sides. This is a bonus for my intended purpose but if you are looking for something milled flat that will stay flat forever ... this may not be what you are looking for.

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..

Yes its flat on bottom. The sides round up to form a small lip.. I use it on an electric coil top. It works great..

The bottom is flat ,but there is a half inch indentation around the edge . I use it on a glass top stove and have no problems.

Well it is flat on bottom it's not in front of me now but it's like 5"-6" , I gave it to my daughter and they like it allot :-) ? they claim it gets allot better when cooking food time and time again , the food has a better favour ? it's really for a electric oven , I mean I get what you thinking ? it works like a wok maybe just not with the same type of burn in with what your cooking as you'd in a round bottom type with the same burn-in results, but they liked allot and very easy to clean-up , a no brainer and good wok to have :-)

I had an electric stove top, and yes, it will work (it is flat)... Just a heads up, it could do some shaking as the boil continues... I never had any moving or spilling, but it can be concerning.

The bottom is flat and it cooks evenly. I love mine and use it for all sorts of goodies.

Yes, it has a flat bottom. I've never had to use a potholder for the handle - but it can get warm/hot when you pour water out because of the steam. Handle itself has never been hot to the touch.
